것What it is
From the English word waiting: the queue outside a restaurant, and the apps that run it. Tabling describes itself as queuing from the app before you reach the restaurant; CatchTable runs the other large one. On the pavement there is usually a tablet where you type a phone number and the number in your party, then walk away until the message comes.
하는 법How to do it
If the tablet is in Korean, the big button is 대기 등록, register to wait, and two people is 2명. Stay within reach; if you miss your call the spot goes to the next party.
