Textaurant

Textaurant was an early SMS-based restaurant waitlist and table-management startup founded around 2010 by Josh Bob in Waltham, Massachusetts, and later surfaced as a 500 Global portfolio company. Its software let a restaurant manage its waiting list from a laptop and text guests when a table opened up, positioning itself as a lower-cost alternative to pager-based systems from JTECH and OpenTable. The original company is defunct: its primary domain, textaurant.com, now resolves to a parked GoDaddy "for sale" landing page with no product, documentation, or API surface. A separate, unaffiliated live app reusing the name exists at app.textaurant.app (a small Twilio-backed Next.js application served through a personal proxy), but it publishes no public API, OpenAPI definition, SDK, or developer documentation. There is no API to onboard against; this profile is retained as a network record of a defunct provider.

Textaurant is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Restaurant, Hospitality, Waitlist, and Reservations.
