How the Speedi waitlist actually works
If nobody's available on the map right now, the waitlist gets your job in front of every registered pro in that trade — so the first one to come free can take it on.
The live map is the headline feature, but it answers one question only: who's available this minute. If nobody is, the obvious next thought is "fine, what now?"
That's the waitlist.
The simple version
Ask Yori for whoever you need. If nobody on the map matches, Yori offers to put you on the waitlist. Confirm, give a quick description of the job and a phone number to reach you on, and the request fans out.
Who gets the request
Every registered pro in that trade who covers your area gets a ping. That's not just the ones who happened to be online when you asked — it's anyone whose profile says they do the work and whose coverage radius reaches you.
So if you ask for a plumber at 7am on a Sunday and only one's live on the map, the waitlist still reaches the dozen other plumbers in your area who happen to be offline at that moment. The first one to pick it up gets the job.
Why we built it this way
Most platforms fail "outside the live moment" — if nobody's available right now, you get nothing. We didn't want a marketplace that only works during peak hours. The waitlist closes that gap: live availability is the headline, but the network is always working in the background.
Your number stays hidden
You don't have to give your number out to twelve strangers. Until a pro accepts and you're connected, your contact details aren't visible to anyone — Speedi only reveals the number to the pro who takes the job.
What about urgency
If it's a real emergency — gas leak, broken boiler with kids in the house, locked out at midnight — tell Yori. We'll flag the request as urgent so pros know to jump on it.
Otherwise the request stays live for a few hours, and you'll hear back as soon as someone accepts.
If you've not tried it yet, open Yori from the bottom-right of the map and just describe what you need. It'll figure out the rest.
