DineCast
Live wait times near you
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: typical busyness by hour, and owners set their wait from a Home Screen widget. Watch a wait from your Lock Screen and decide with friends in one link.
Skip the wait. Eat now.
DineCast shows how long the wait is at restaurants near you, reported live by diners and by the restaurants themselves.
SEE WHO HAS NO WAIT
Eat Now sorts open restaurants nearby into "No wait right now", "Short wait" and "Busy". Every wait shows how many people reported it and how long ago. Reports older than two hours are never shown as current.
WATCH THE WAIT
Pick a restaurant and follow its wait on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Get an alert when it drops under your limit.
TELL EVERYONE IN ONE TAP
At a restaurant? DineCast asks how long the wait is. One tap helps everyone nearby, and earns you points, badges and levels.
CAN'T DECIDE?
Send friends a quick poll with the best options nearby. They vote from the link, no app needed.
JUST ASK
Type "italian, no wait" or "cheap sushi". On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, your search is understood on the device.
FOR OWNERS
Verified owners post their live wait, specials and closures, and reply to diners.
Also: map of every wait, favorites with a Home Screen widget, friends, and a privacy-first design. Browse without an account; sign in with Apple, Google or email to report.
