A restaurant pager is a device used by restaurants to notify customers when their table is ready or when their order is ready to be picked up. When customers arrive at the restaurant and put their name on the waiting list, they are given a pager. The pager will vibrate or beep when their table is ready, so they can return to the host stand and be seated. Alternatively, in restaurants that offer takeout or delivery, customers may be given a pager to alert them when their order is ready to be picked up.

The use of pagers in restaurants helps to improve customer experience by reducing wait times and minimizing congestion in the waiting area. Customers can move around freely and relax without having to keep an eye on the host stand or worry about missing their name being called. Additionally, pagers can help restaurants manage their seating and service flow more efficiently, ensuring that tables are filled as quickly as possible and orders are delivered promptly.
