Ready Text is a text-message waitlist tool operated by S Meyers Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Ready Text. Staff add a customer’s name and phone number, and the system texts the customer when it is their turn. It runs in a web browser, so no app download is needed by staff or customers. The vendor lists restaurants, cafes, bars, salons, spas, retail, pharmacies, healthcare, government offices and events among its industries.

Customers can join by scanning a QR code, sending a text or checking in with staff. They receive status texts, can reply to cancel or say they are on their way, and staff see wait estimates and customer status on a dashboard. The single plan also lists unlimited reservations. The queue-management page mentions walk-ins and appointments in one place, but no booking calendar is described.

Pricing is published on a section of the homepage rather than a separate page. One plan costs USD 49 a month, billed monthly, with custom text messages, unlimited waitlist entries, 2,500 texts a month, email support and no setup fees. Texts above 2,500 are billed monthly at USD 0.015 each, and higher limits are available for a fee. A 14-day free trial is offered through open registration, and no demo is needed. There is no free plan.

No integrations, POS connections or marketplace listings are recorded, and no SOC 2 or HIPAA claim is listed. The vendor’s Terms and Privacy Policy (updated July 28, 2026) describe the messaging program as one used by law firms, while its homepage and industry pages market a restaurant and retail waitlist. Buyers can ask the vendor which terms apply to their use.
