About Bzz
What is Bzz?
Bzz is a restaurant waitlist, reservation, and in-wait marketing platform that operates directly in mobile web browsers.
What Bzz does
The software replaces physical coaster pagers with browser-based digital buzzers that alert waiting diners via push notifications and device vibration. Guests join waitlists via QR codes or NFC tags without app downloads or SMS fees, viewing real-time queue positions alongside restaurant specials and promotions. The host stand includes a drag-and-drop floor plan editor, live table occupancy timers, and an online table reservation calendar without per-cover commissions.
Who Bzz is for
Restaurant operators, hospitality venues, and hosts managing guest waitlists and table reservations.
How Bzz works
Guests scan a QR code or tap an NFC tag to join the digital waitlist, watch queue position updates on their phone, receive a browser vibration notification when their table is ready, and review promotional specials while waiting.
