How it works · 1-2 weeks to live

From signup to live QRs in six beats.

No procurement RFP. No three-month rollout. Open Waitery, pick your hardware, send your void cheque, and we'll have the boxes on a Canada Post truck this week.

Step 01 · Day 1
01

Sign up at waitery.ca

Business name, locations, contact, banking. Sign the PAD agreement online. Takes about 12 minutes.

  • Legal entity & business number
  • Per-location address & province
  • CAD chequing account · PAD authorization
  • Restaurant Panel access for owners
Step 02 · Day 1-2
02

Pick your hardware

Order handhelds, KDS, cashier tablets, printers — per item, purchase or lease. Most single-location restaurants need 2-3 handhelds, 1 KDS, 1 cashier tablet, 1-2 printers.

Step 03 · Day 2-3
03

Upload compliance docs

Void cheque (or pre-authorized debit form), articles of incorporation or business registration, and the owner's photo ID. Required by Fiserv to underwrite your merchant account.

Step 04 · Day 3-7
04

Approval & account creation

Waitery and Fiserv review in parallel. Most files clear in 2-4 business days. You'll see status at every step in the Restaurant Panel — no opaque "we'll get back to you."

Step 05 · Day 5-10
05

Hardware ships · guided setup

Boxes arrive via Canada Post (expedited). Plug in the printers, sign in once on each device. Walk the guided checklist:

  • Floor plan & tables
  • Menus & modifiers
  • Staff & roles
  • Taxes & tip presets
  • Languages per touchpoint
  • Printer & KDS routing
Step 06 · Day 10-14

QRs go live · open the doors

Waitery generates downloadable PDFs of your table QR codes. Print, place, brief your team, run the Friday shift. We're on the call if anything stutters.
