How can I use Yelp Waitlist to get in line remotely?

Yelp Waitlist allows you to view a restaurant’s live wait time and join the waitlist remotely via the Yelp app or on Yelp.com before arriving at the restaurant. If you’re using the Yelp app, you can also plan ahead by viewing the average wait time for the different days of the week. Once you’re confirmed on the Waitlist, you’ll receive a confirmation text to your mobile number with a link that will redirect you to the Yelp app. In the app, you’ll be able to see the time you should check in by, view your place in line, share your place in line or leave the waitlist. You’ll receive a text message as soon as your table is ready.
