Guest pagers make great first impressions by giving patrons confidence that they will not get lost in the crowd during rush hours. They are the simplest and most cost effective method to be sure guests are called in a timely manner. The PA noise from repeatedly calling guests is eliminated and the dining experience is improved. Instead of numerous hosts trying to locate waiting parties, guests are instantly alerted and then return with flashing pagers so you know exactly who's paged.
With guest paging, patrons feel committed to staying at your restaurant so there are fewer walk-aways. Table turns are increased as seating time is reduced and your bottom line is improved.
- Locate waiting guests quickly and economically.
- Prevent calling mispronounced names on the PA system.
- Enhance the atmosphere of your waiting area by reducing noise.
- Improve overall guest satisfaction.
- Reduce wait time and turn more tables.
- Commit patrons to waiting and reduce walk-aways.
- Coaster shapes encourage drink purchases while waiting
No installation or programming required: Our guest pagers arrive at your location ready to use. Just set the devices where they belong, plug the power supplies into your wall sockets and you're good to go.
How Guest Paging Works
 When guests arrive, they are greeted by a host and given a pager. The host writes the pager number and seating preferences on paper. Pagers double as drink coasters and suggest drink purchases while waiting in in the lounge. Guests are free to roam within a programmed range (adjusted by the restaurant, up to .75 miles). If they go out of range, pagers beep until they get back in range.
When tables are ready, the host enters the pager ID into the transmitter keypad and the pager flashes and vibrates. (Flashing modes are programmable from the restaurant.) Guests notice the coaster and return to the host, who then shows them to their table.
Additional Pagers
The starter kit includes fifteen guest pagers, an ideal number for restaurants with maximum wait times of twenty minutes. Individual pagers may be purchased separately.
You can determine your pager requirements by taking your longest wait time (in minutes) and dividing by 1.5. For example, if wait time is 30 minutes, you need about 20 pagers. We don't advise handing out pagers for waits longer than one hour.

Optional Cell Phone Paging
If a restaurant is located in a mall or shopping center, guests may need greater flexibility so they can shop while they wait, and may want a call on their cell phone. Guests are handed pagers if they prefer to wait inside the restaurant, or optional cell phone paging, they can give their cell phone number so they are called instead. Cell phone paging uses a pre-recorded message from your restaurant.
Cell phone paging is great when you are located near other restaurants where guests tend to put their names on multiple lists and see who calls them first.
The Cell Phone Paging feature is not included in the starter kit and is $275 additional.
Optional Manager Paging
 During peak times, managers are very tough to locate for phone calls, emergencies, etc. With manager paging, your hostess can quickly send instant messages to the roaming manager using the same guest paging keypad. Manager pagers are not included in the starter kit. Click here for more details, and to order, manager pagers.
Non-Restaurant Use
LRS guest pagers are also great for use in hospitals and medical offices. Pagers help assure patient privacy because patient names do not have to be called out in public as their turns come up. LRS transmitters have the range and power to be effective in large office buildings. Transmitter repeaters are available for situations that require extra coverage.
Automobile service is another great application for LRS guest pagers, as they allow customers to wander nearby, up to 3/4 miles away, until their cars are ready.
