Quarent
Queuent, Inc. (www.queuent.com) is pioneering interactive queue management solutions that allow businesses to easily and efficiently call and interact with their waiting customers through the customers’ mobile phones. Using Queuent’s solutions, businesses have new ways to improve guests’ wait experience, optimize process efficiency, reduce expenses, and improve customer satisfaction. Until now, it was not practical or economical for businesses to communicate with each waiting customer. Today, Queuent provides products and services that enable restaurants to call waiting guests via their mobile phones to notify them that their tables are ready, and then allow guests to confirm, delay, or cancel. Restaurants now know if and when a guest is returning, and guests are free to spend the waiting period as they please. These benefits translate into competitive differentiators and increased revenues.

Queuent has deployed first-generation product at three Atlanta area restaurants, including Copeland’s of Alpharetta and P. F. Chang’s at The Mall of Georgia. All have experienced increased guest satisfaction, eliminated cumbersome paging devices, and increased table-turn— which increases the restaurant’s bottom-line revenue.

Businesses that will benefit from this technology include theme parks, casinos, entertainment centers, government and public services, the healthcare industry—potentially any business that has customers physically waiting for service.
