Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq:AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software and services, today announced an expansion of the rGuest™ product offering to include rGuest Seat, a comprehensive table, reservation and wait list management solution that streamlines operations and enables restaurants to provide superior service. The application can be bundled with other Agilysys offerings — including point-of-sale, analytics, inventory and procurement, and workforce management solutions — to round out the delivery of a rich guest experience.

rGuest Seat is a web-based and iOS app-based table management solution that can fit in with any size operation. Built on open industry standards, the flexible solution can reside on a networked computer or operate on an Apple® iPad® or iPad mini mobile digital device, allowing servers to greet guests and easily move around the restaurant to update table status. rGuest Seat offers full views of customized table layouts with capabilities to manage the dining process, including blocking tables from reservations and service. An online reservation widget enables diners to easily book reservations from the restaurant website and offers options such as special menus and seating areas. Software upgrades can be delivered automatically or with a simple click through the App StoreSM.

Other features of the rGuest Seat solution include:

  • Ability to control reservation slots manually or operate in automatic mode
  • Wait list functionality that provides more accurate wait time estimates
  • Customizable guest confirmation via email and text messaging
  • 'Administration View' dashboard that enables managers to track shift statistics, assign servers, add notes and access reports
  • Ability to toggle between restaurants to gain a complete view of reservations and wait list status
