You know the restaurant your mom has been talking about forever? The one she always says she wants to try but never gets around to. Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to finally make it happen.
Once you’ve picked the spot, the next step is securing a table. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest dining days of the year, so calling ahead for a reservation is always the smart move. But what if her favorite place doesn’t take them? No advance reservations means showing up and hoping for the best, which could mean a long wait and a hungry mom. Not exactly the relaxing, special day you had in mind.
That’s where NextMe comes in.
Skip the line, enjoy the day
NextMe is a digital waitlist app that holds your place in line using just a cell phone number. No app download needed. When you arrive at a restaurant using NextMe, the host adds you to the waitlist and the app sends a text confirmation along with a link to your virtual waiting room, where you can watch your place in line in real time.
The best part? You don’t have to stand around waiting. Take your mom for a coffee down the street, browse a nearby shop, or just enjoy a little extra time together. When your table is almost ready, NextMe will send a text asking you to confirm or cancel your spot. From there, you’ll get the all-clear when it’s time to be seated.
