Live-ops demo · Real-time
TableFlow
Front-of-house for a busy restaurant — guests scan a code at the door, join the waitlist, and watch their place move on their own phone, while the host runs the floor from one board.
- Real-time
- Phone-first
- No app to install
Watch the line move
This is a live waitlist, running right here. Call the next party, seat them, and add walk-ins from the host board — the guest’s phone on the right updates the moment you do. In the real app the guest holds that phone; the two screens stay in lockstep over WebSockets.
One desk, every phone
Everything a busy door needs to stop taking names on paper and stop guests crowding the host stand — in one screen, phone-first, no app to install.
QR check-in
Guests scan a code at the door and join tonight’s list in seconds — nothing to download.
Live waitlist
Every guest sees their real place in line update on their own phone — no refresh, no asking the host.
Reservations & slots
Take bookings for tonight’s time slots right alongside the walk-in queue, on the same board.
One host board
Approve, decline, call, and seat every party from a single screen — the whole floor at a glance.
Table-ready alerts
One tap sends the guest a “your table is ready” message — their screen takes over instantly.
Real-time everywhere
WebSockets keep the desk and every guest phone in lockstep — one event stream, zero polling.

TableFlow is one of a handful of real-time demos I build for local businesses — restaurants, clinics, salons, anywhere people wait in line. If you’d like one shaped around your own place, get in touch.
