Getting the attention of a server can make some people feel a little anxious. Should I raise my hand? Do I wait to make eye contact? How loud should I yell?
Well rest your nerves (and your voice) because there is a new app that makes eating out a little less stressful for soft-spoken diners.
“Suimasen Daikō” ("Excuse Me Agent") is an application where users simply tap a button and their phone will let out a hearty “すいませ～～～ん!” (“Excuse me!”)
Users can choose between a female voice, a male voice and even an ikemen voice for the cool kids. In addition, there is a bell and buzzer button to grab someone’s attention.
Need to adjust the volume? The app comes with three scene settings ranging from quiet cafes to noisy izakaya.
Suimasen Daikō is now available on iTunes.
