LRS pagers served the industry well, but hardware-based guest paging is expensive, fragile, and limited. BuzzMyTable replaces every pager with a simple QR code and your customer's own smartphone.
LRS starter kits with transmitter and 15–20 pagers can cost $1,500–$3,000+. Replacement coasters run $50–$80 each.
Staff spend time every night racking and charging pagers. Dead batteries during service mean unhappy guests.
Pagers walk out the door, get dropped in drinks, or simply stop working. Every lost unit is another $50+ expense.
LRS pagers only work within a few hundred metres of the transmitter. Guests can't wait in their car or next door.
