NoWait is a free to download app that lets you locate restaurants nearby, check the wait times and virtually put yourself in line. Often times, the busier a restaurant is, there's usually a good reason for it, but it can sometimes mean spontaneously wanting to stop and eat somewhere will also mean a long wait time. Waiting around isn't fun and NoWait knows it.
When a diner has reserved their spot in line, the NoWait app shows the diner's proximity to the restaurant, presumably to give them plenty of time to get there to claim their spot, as well as how many other parties are in line before them. The app is a must-have for foodies who would rather spend their time eating than waiting around for a table.
