Eligible new U.S. subscribers can get Founding Pro for $19.99 for the first monthly period, then $99.99/month — half the regular $200 rate — while continuously active.

Can we use Shokken without Pro?

Yes. Manual entry, QR self-join, browser tracking, core waitlist tools, and public menus remain free without a subscription.

How do we get started?

Sign in with Google or Apple, create a waitlist, then add parties yourself or display its QR code for guest self-join.

What languages do guests see?

Guest-facing web surfaces support English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Tagalog. The host app remains English.

Can we try it next to our paper list?

Yes. Run Shokken alongside your current waitlist for a shift or two and see how it fits.

What if our Wi-Fi is spotty?

Shokken needs an internet connection through Wi-Fi or cellular. If the connection drops, the app cannot sync the waitlist or send texts until it returns.

Is Shokken only for Las Vegas restaurants?

Shokken is available for restaurants in the United States. Las Vegas is where we are, so in-person setup help is available only there.

Do guests have to download anything?

No. Guests join and track their place in a browser. With Pro, they can also receive text updates.

Can guests remove themselves?

Yes. Their tracker includes a leave action, so parties whose plans change can remove themselves from the list.

What devices does it run on?

The host app runs on modern Apple and Android phones and tablets. Kiosk mode works on any tablet at the host stand.

Are public menus free?

Yes. Building, publishing, and sharing a menu at its automatically assigned account URL are free. Choosing a custom account-level vanity slug requires Pro.

What is included with Pro?

Pro adds transactional waitlist texts for guests who opt in, ready-made message-template packs, a plain waitlist QR code without the Shokken logo, and a custom menu link for the account.
