Well, Yelp Waitlist will let you indicate your preferred seating location. Now, you can input your party size directly at the beginning of your Yelp Waitlist search to identify businesses with wait time estimates that best fit your current needs, helping expedite your search. If you’ve tried to secure a table on Yelp Waitlist, you’ve probably experienced the heartache of seeing a certain wait time in search results or restaurant business page but getting a much longer wait once you input party size.

This is all packaged in a new user experience that highlights these new features, as well as provides more information about your place in line and the next steps to get seated.
