Your guests can make contactless reservations, order in advance, pay and rate via their mobile. To support the hospitality businesses, the use of the all-in-one application and all the services around it are free of charge until 1 July 2020. \u2018YtheWait\u2019 has a user-friendly module that also simplifies booking and table management.<\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019re spotting more and more technical developments that will replace parts of the staff&#8217;s tasks.
