About MakeTheWaitlist

Create a shareable waitlist in seconds. Guests join from a link or a QR code and watch their place in line update live - no app, no account, no SMS bill.

Why it exists

MakeTheWaitlist started because the existing options for this were either a spreadsheet nobody could see, or software priced for an organisation rather than a person running one event.

How it works

You create a waitlist, add guests, and share a link. Everyone watching sees changes as they happen, on any device, without an account. That is the entire product; everything else is in service of those three steps staying fast.

How it is paid for

Directly, by the people who use it. There are no ads on your waitlists, your data is not sold, and the free plan is a real plan rather than a countdown - it exists because most waitlists are small, and the ones that grow past it are worth paying for. See pricing for exactly what each plan includes.

What it deliberately does not do

It is not an analytics suite, a waitlist manager or a CRM. It does one thing - keep a shared, public score - and the moment it starts doing five things, the one-minute setup goes away.
