Recess is almost here! The team and I are super excited to get our first couple of demo units out in live environments for testing. Looks like this is going to be a really busy next couple of months. 
What is Recess App?
Recess App is an application that runs on a handheld touch screen device (iPod Touch, iPhone, Nokia N800, etc.) that allows you to manage a waitlist and send out text message (SMS) pages. We’ve thought of a couple really cool use cases for this application –
Restaurants
Instead of getting one of those buzzer pagers at your favorite restaurant, just plug your phone number in and you’ll get a text message when your table is ready. You don’t have to be within any particular distance to the restaurant and you can reply back to the hostess if you need more time.
Amusement Parks
Instead of standing around and waiting in line for hours, you can just plug your phone number in to reserve your spot in line. Guests are placed in buckets (according to the capacity of the ride/attraction) and the entire bucket is messaged when it’s time to come back.
Doctor’s and Dentist’s Offices
Even though you have an appointment, sometimes it can take up to an hour before the physician can actually see you. When you sign in, just type your phone number in and the doctor can shoot you a text when they’re almost ready to examine you.
Pharmacies
I don’t know about you, but I drop off my prescription and then wander around aimlessly looking at groceries and gadgets for the quoted “15 minutes”. You can come in, drop off your prescription, put your phone number in, and get some actual shopping or errands done and know exactly when the prescription is ready to be picked up. We might also be able to tie your phone number to your actual prescription and send you text message reminders to take your meds 
These are just a few of the places we can alleviate the pain of waiting around. Imagine never having the stand in line for anything ever again!!
I’ll have a demo up soon with more information. If you know anyone that could use Recess, send them our way – we’re currently looking for partners that would like to help us test the application.
Recess. That’s right, just like grade school. We’ll let you know when it’s time to come in.
