Built around the host

Three things every operator-first tool should do.

One screen for tonight

Walk-ins, reservations, and table status — all on a single timeline. Stop alt-tabbing between apps.

SMS that’s not spam

One text on join. Then a live status page guests keep open. Only critical updates get a follow-up SMS.

Built to travel

Global from day one. No US-only assumptions in the join form, the phone format, or the SMS rules.

Operator-first design

Tablet-first, host-first, no manual to read

Spotline is designed for the host working a tablet at the door on a busy Friday. Fast keyboard, tap-to-message, every common action one tap deep. Trained hosts get it in under two minutes.

The “Tonight” view is the homepage. Everything else — reports, multi-location dashboards, billing — is secondary to what’s happening at the door right now.

Reservations

Reservations when you need them, in the same view

Reservations live on the same timeline as walk-ins. The host sees the next 90 minutes at a glance — who’s due, who’s on the waitlist, what’s open. No separate app, no separate inbox.

Available on every paid plan, starting at $49/month. No per-cover fees, no commissions on bookings.

Frequently asked

Quick answers; talk to us if you want more.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — up to 100 guests per month, 1 location, 1 user. No credit card.

Do you charge per reservation or per cover?

Never. Flat monthly pricing; we don’t take a cut of your bookings.

What counts as a guest?

1 guest = 1 waitlist entry or 1 reservation, counted at creation. Calendar month, resets on the 1st.

Do you support SMS outside the US?

Yes — global from day one. Phone format handling, opt-out semantics, and SMS regulations are designed to work outside US 10DLC.

How fast is setup?

Sign up, add your business name, print a QR code. Most operators are taking their first waitlist join within ten minutes.

Do you replace my POS or floor-plan tool?

No. Spotline handles the host’s view — waitlist, reservations, and table status. POS and floor-plan stay where they are.
