A list of restaurants will be displayed of locations near you based on the information you entered. If the location allows future guests to join the waitlist online, there will be a “Join Waitlist” button adjacent to the location name and address.

Final Thoughts

You will notice above that you can only add a maximum of five guests online. If you have more than five guests, you can call your local restaurant to see if they can accommodate your larger party. Additionally, if the online join the waitlist option is not available for the restaurant you desire to visit, you can call the restaurant to see if they can fulfill your waitlist request.

Many chain restaurants such as Outback and Red Robin now offer the ability to join online waitlists. Before waiting around at the restaurant for a table, you should check the website to see if they have an option to speed up the waiting process. You can always call as well to see if the staff can seat your party as you desire.
