Awaiting Entry – A better contactless waiting experience for in-person interactions with businesses

What's this blog post about?

The Awaiting app, developed by Vaporware Co-Founder and CEO Dan Moore, aims to simplify the process of contactless communication for businesses during the COVID pandemic. The app uses an SMS-powered virtual waitlist that allows customers to add themselves to a queue and receive notifications when it's their turn to enter a store or establishment while maintaining social distancing guidelines. The Awaiting app has already proven successful in helping small businesses manage walk-in customers, and future developments include features such as Q&A functionality for guests outside, wait time management for crowded events, and contact tracing capabilities.
