How far do restaurant buzzers work?

Most restaurant coaster pagers are rated up to 984 feet (300 meters) in open area, but expect reliable signal in the 200–300 foot range inside a typical single-story restaurant with standard drywall construction.

The open-area rating on restaurant buzzers applies to obstacle-free outdoor conditions — parking lot queues, food truck lines, or patio waits. Inside a building, walls, refrigeration units, and concrete floors all reduce effective range. LOUKIENE coaster pager systems handle most single-floor restaurant layouts comfortably within that 200–300 foot real-world window. Multi-story venues with concrete slab floors between levels will see further reduction and intermittent signal.

• LOUKIENE coaster pager open-area rating: up to 984 feet (300 meters).
• Typical indoor restaurant range through standard walls: 200–300 feet.
• Multi-floor venues with concrete slabs experience intermittent signal beyond one floor.
• Transmitter placement affects range: central positioning outperforms a back-corner or near-refrigerator location.
• Full initial charge required: 3–4 hours before first use for consistent signal performance.
