Yelp is a business directory service that develops, hosts, and markets the Yelp.com site and its mobile application, which publishes crowd-sourced reviews about companies. It also operates an online reservation service named Yelp Reservations.
2 ex PayPal workers, Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons founded Yelp 16 years ago and named it “Yelp,” because it was brief, memorable, simple to spell, and familiar with a word like “Help.” After filing for an initial public offering (IPO) with the Securities Exchange Commission in 2011, Yelp’s stock started public trading on the New York Stock Exchange on March 2, 2012.
3 years ago, Yelp bought the waitlist application and had it rebranded as Yelp Waitlist, letting Yelp users join the waitlist at local restaurants with a few clicks on their smartphones. When you dine out, one frustrating thing that will happen is waiting for a table when a restaurant is extremely busy and filled with people.
At times, you can even need to wait for about an hour or above, and if you are so hungry, your patience might eventually run out. Fortunately for you, Yelp Waitlist gets rid of all that waiting once and for all. See How To Use Yelp Waitlist:
