What do you like best about WaitWell?

Cost: We had arrived at 3 potential options at the end of our RFP. One big thing that stood out was how much less Waitwell was priced compared to bigger, more established companies.

Functionality: The single biggest benefit of Waitwell is that it does both queuing (unscheduled walkins) and appointment scheduling (ahead of time). Many companies will do one or the other but Waitwell does both extremely well. In addition, the system is incredibly configurable. We have used the system for even more than we realized we would.

Support: This might be their biggest strength overall. In my role, I have worked with countless companies and Waitwell is my top company for support throughout the entire process. They have accommodated numerous customization requests with no additional cost. The rep we have been assigned always responds to any email or text with 15 minutes and follow-ups to make sure we are satisfied. They are committed to their product and back it up with second to none support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

i. They are a newer company so their product isn’t quite as polished as the bigger competitors.

ii. Their app can be confusing at times.

iii. There are a boat load of configuration options that need to be carefully reviewed at setup or else you run into problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been using Waitwell for almost 2 years now. We were forced to begin using a queuing/scheduling software when COVID occurred. We researched for about 6 months before deciding on Waitwell for the primary reasons of functionality, cost and support. We use it for scheduling our criminal record checks, our walkin police reporting and scheduling for our virtual police reporting. We have been incredibly satisfied with the product overall.

WaitWell Overview

What is WaitWell?

WaitWell is a queuing and booking platform designed for busy service locations, aiming to streamline the customer experience by minimizing wait times and enhancing service efficiency. This solution is particularly beneficial for businesses that experience high foot traffic, such as healthcare facilities, salons, restaurants, and retail stores. By replacing traditional physical lineups with a virtual queue, WaitWell allows visitors to manage their wait time more effectively, ultimately improving customer satisfaction. The platform offers a range of functionalities tailored to meet diverse operational needs. With its queue management feature, customers can join the line via QR codes, kiosks, or online, receiving real-time updates on their mobile devices regarding their position in the queue and estimated wait times. This not only reduces congestion in waiting areas but also allows customers to engage in other activities while they wait, enhancing their overall experience. Additionally, the appointment management system enables users to book, modify, or cancel appointments conveniently from anywhere, providing flexibility and control over their scheduling. WaitWell also integrates payment processing capabilities, allowing businesses to collect payments at the time of booking or when customers join the queue. This feature simplifies transactions and helps manage cash flow more effectively. The platform further supports virtual services by allowing businesses to integrate virtual meetings into their scheduling and queuing processes, catering to the growing demand for remote interactions. To assist businesses in optimizing their operations, WaitWell provides comprehensive analytics and reporting tools. Users can access over 30 different reports and a real-time dashboard to track operational efficiency, performance metrics, and customer satisfaction levels. This data-driven approach enables businesses to make informed decisions and identify areas for improvement.

Finally, WaitWell prioritizes service accessibility, offering features that cater to customers with disabilities or language barriers. With options for language translation, kiosks, and lobby displays, the platform ensures that all customers receive equitable service, enhancing inclusivity within the service environment. Overall, WaitWell stands out as a comprehensive solution designed to improve the customer experience while optimizing operational workflows for service providers.

What do you like best about WaitWell?

WaitWell is a great system for our customer and has all the extra perks we have been looking for. It has been a very easy implementation for our team members and our customers. The customer support with Dave Campbell is a great asset making the ease of use seamless. The intergration with our offices was very quick, easy and has made our processes more efficient as we use this system on daily making the frequency of use efficient and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

I have to honestly say we havent encountoured any downside or anything that we dislike. If we ever have any questions about the system Dave Campbell is always there for questions or a quick call for assistance. Can't get any better than that. Awesome services all around.i only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our previous appointment system was not working or living up to our needs. Waitwell has gone above and beyond expecations and is meeting all our office's needs for online appointment scheduling for our customer and the public we service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WaitWell?

What I find helpful about WaitWell is the ability to let our customers choose their own modality seamlessly, whether it is online or in person, drop-in or an appointment. It is fairly easy to manage and when I have come accross roadblocks in functionality, the WaitWell team has been good to install new features. We use it every day for our in person and drop in advising.

We got it up and running in a couple of weeks with only a few bumps in understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

There could be some more accessible information on how to compete integrations. I am not very experienced with this sort of thing so it can be tricky to be the middle person for WaitWell and IT.

Standardized training videos would help else this early training for the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

WaitWell dynamically services customer needs for appointments and drop-ins, allowing both to happen at the same time. Previous to Waitwell, we had two cumbersome applications and this has to allowed us to instead use a single application. That means easier for our staff and our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cassidy McKay of WaitWell

Hi Hannah! Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that the implementation was smooth and has been helping you streamline your appointments and drop-ins seamlessly. I’ve reached out to your dedicated account manager, and they’ll be in touch soon to discuss integrations and guide you through the setup process.

What do you like best about WaitWell?

I love the fact that our students can manage their own bookings, which eliminates the need for a lot of back and forth emails. Students seem to be learning it quickly too, which is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

My only wish is that we could have custom settings for each Additional Service so that if one in particular was selected, it would be mandatory to add an attachment to complete the booking form.

This is very specific to our business unit, though, as we have WaitWell set up in a very specific way, where Additional Services are the specific types of appointments. Only one type (Resume and Cover Letter Reviews) requires attachments. Many students book their meetings before attaching anything, prompting us to chase them down to get what we need beforehand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

It vastly reduces the amount of communication needed to students when trying to plan a good time to meet. It benefits us because we can set our availability, and the students do the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cassidy McKay of WaitWell

Hi Miki! It’s great to hear that WaitWell is helping reduce back-and-forth emails and that students are loving it. Regarding your feedback, you can actually add attachments to booking forms based on service types. Feel free to reach out to your dedicated account manager-they’d be happy to help set that up for you!

What do you like best about WaitWell?

It helps organize our office with the amount of clients that come through our door Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

Sometimes when people put their name in via text it takes a long time to show up in the que. So someone may come in first and check in via text and then someone after them will come in and check in via the kiosk and the kiosk client will appear first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our office layout isn't ideal for a line up. This allows people to check in and sit where ever they please. Also during busytimes the wait can be up to 45 minutes. This allows them to check in and run next door to do another errand quick. Allowing everyone to maximize their own time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cassidy McKay of WaitWell

Hi Chance, thank you for your response! We're glad to hear our system is helping keep your office organized. Our team is reviewing the text vs. kiosk join-the-line function to check for any discrepancies, but so far, nothing has been reported. We will reach out to you if we find anything. If you'd like assistance please reach out to your dedicated account manager-they’d be happy to help!

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped in reducing the queues lines by our students.

It has helped in defining the avialabilities and timings of our agents that will serve the students.

It acts like a one source of truth, that contains information of all appointments, notes and interaction that happened.

It helps with solving student issues faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WaitWell?

We use waitwell to manage the line for our food pantry. Our Neighbors are starting to understand the line more are able to sign up from home Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

I wish there was a way to remove the number in line for people in line. They get very angry when their number isn't going up and they constantly ask us what number in line they are and we do not have access to those numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use waitwell for a food pantry and we have about 40 people come into our pantry at the beginning of pantry. We can not keep all of these people in our building so waitwell allows them to wait in their cars or at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cassidy McKay of WaitWell

Hi Jessie,

We're delighted to hear that WaitWell has been a great solution for you over the past year - we truly appreciate your continued support! Regarding the number in line, we’ve addressed your request and have now removed it, so visitors will only see their estimated wait time. Thank you for reaching out to our support team! We're glad we could assist you.

What do you like best about WaitWell?

WaitWell is a few steps up than the previous application. It is easy to use and navigate throughout the application, and dispite few questions submitted to support, I was able to figure out the most of it. The implementation process was a brezz, and it was done in a month from configuration, training, to go live date. Customer service and support is the best. I can get answers in few minutes no matter what the question or the issue is. I use it in my organization everyday to support its needs. The text message feature and the preconfigured communications tha tgoes with it is awesome. The application have a lot of features that satisfied our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

The applications needs some improvment in some ways. When configuring a holiday, it requireds to go through each queue to sert it up and believe it is hectic when you have a lot of queues. Another issue is when you have an event that takes few hours of the day, you have to disable and enable one queue at a time. I would like to see an option where you can veiw all queues in one window and select which queue to disable and for how long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

One thing I like the most is that I can perform almost everything on the application without the need to get back to support, which it saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cassidy McKay of WaitWell

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear our support has been helpful.

Regarding your concerns, you can bulk import holidays using the Import feature. Hours and holidays are typically set at the location level, so all queues follow the same settings-no need to configure each one individually. Exceptions can be set at the queue level if needed, and even those can be imported.

We also have a window that handles this, and you can easily view all queues on the queue page, turning them off as needed until the next day.

Hope this helps! Let us know if we can assist further.

The WaitWell system is very easy to use and allows our team to be able to service our customers quickly and efficiiently. The customer support is ourstanding, any questions or assistance is resolved in miminal time frame. Our customer service rep, Dave Campbell, is the best. He response immediately, discussing best solutions for our business, and assist and guides us on how to use the system at the maximum benefit to our team and customers. Best part, it only took a few days to setup with a training class and training resources to access in the system are detailed but concise and very easy to follow.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

Using the system for 6 months and have not had any major issues or compliants. Any obstacles we had, have been resolved within mintues to reaching out to our customer service rep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Waitwell system is allowing our customers to make online appointments for our services as a public tag agency in Louisiana. Also, is helping with organization and servicing our walk-in clients.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about WaitWell?

WaitWell is an extremly responsive and helpful software company that is crucial for implementing complex line management installations. They worked well with the nuances of of government client and provided top of the line, nearly around the clock, support. Not only were they flexible with the timeline, they provided all the help that we needed to customize and go live with the software. Beyond the support - the software is everything we needed as well! Smart enough to give valuable automations and calculations, but simple enough to get up and running with a breeze. Reccommend for a number of customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

Nothing really to dislike, the only reccomendation is to enhance the queue to be able to manipulate the priority manually. We love the 'priotize' option, but we want to be able to move customers to specific places in line at certain times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping manage appointments and walk in lines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shannon Vander Meulen of WaitWell

Thank you, Amber, for your review. We are so happy to hear that our service provided all the support you needed for a successful implementation. I have passed your comments regarding manually manipulating position in queue and they tell me that the feature does exist. You should hear from your account manager shortly with instructions on how to do this.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about WaitWell?

WaitWell is very user friendly for all those that utilize the system. Whether it be a guest checking in at the kiosk, guest joining the line remotely via the web, or the staff serving the guest navigating the Admin view WaitWell allows for effecient and organized service. Having a staff app has allowed for managers who are working the floor, to have the ability watch and monitor our location or other locations easily. Should a manager or administrator be out of the office and need to close down a que, or location the staff app allows us to easily do so from our cell phone wherever we are. Having a software that is constantly improving and growing such as WaitWell, provides a peace of mind to administrators and Senior leadership; as we are constantly evolving to meet our guests needs as the university grows, having a software that is specifically built out and customized to meet our needs is awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WaitWell?

Being a newer software at times we have encountered minor software glitches such as audio cues not being functional. I will say WaitWell staff both Customer Account Managers, and the Software Development Team are very responsive and usually fix any issues within 1-2 business days! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WaitWell solving and how is that benefiting you?

While we only replaced a que management systems at the university, we were looking to obtain a LMS system that allowed for flexibility. A software like WaitWell, is built out to the consumers needs, it has the ability to be ever changing to adjust to our needs and does not require additional subscriptions to be purchased. We were looking to improve traffic flow for both students and staff at our One-Stop centers. WaitWell has allowed for digital accessibility, including remote join capabilities, and the ability to view your spot in line remotely. Features like these are crucial to the center during peak surge times, specifically semester start-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shannon Vander Meulen of WaitWell

We appreciate the thoughtful review of WaitWell. We are glad to hear that you find the staff app useful as well. Our development team is hard at work expanding our product and fixing any small issues that arise as our customer base grows. Thanks for being a WaitWell customer.
