GeoNest detects the counter dwell, the drive-thru lane, or the walk-out — and dispatches an email, SMS, or push moment from the same fence you already drew.
Use cases
Enter, dwell, and exit mean something specific here — this is what that looks like in practice.
Enter
Set different dwell thresholds for the drive-thru lane versus the dining room, so a quick pass-through and a sit-down visit can trigger different campaigns.
Dwell
A dwell near the counter during peak hours is a decision-in-progress — fire a limited-time combo offer before they order.
Exit
Catch a guest as they're leaving with a loyalty-point reminder or a next-visit incentive — timed for while the meal is still fresh.
Why teams choose GeoNest
Circles and polygons handed to the phone's own geofencing APIs — no continuous background polling.
Register, fetch geofences, report an event — that's the entire integration surface.
Every fence, device, and campaign is scoped to a single app — nothing crosses over.
Dispatches through your existing email and SMS infrastructure, plus Firebase Cloud Messaging for push — nothing new to wire up.
More industries
Not quite your world? See how the same enter/dwell/exit fence plays out for other industries.
Trigger a welcome offer on entry, and a "come back" nudge if a browser leaves without buying.
Send a "your prescription is ready" text when a dwell in the waiting area completes, or a refill reminder on exit.
Recognize a check-in streak on entry, and fire a win-back offer the moment a member's visit pattern shows they've stopped coming.
Follow up automatically after a branch visit dwell, or route someone to a nearby ATM the moment they exit a closed location.
Detect a dwell at an open house or listing and follow up with the listing details before the visitor is back in their car.
Trigger a service reminder for anyone dwelling on the lot, or a test-drive follow-up the moment they exit.
Draw the fence rule once, and every location in the network runs the identical enter/dwell/exit logic — scoped to its own app.
Questions
Yes — draw them as separate fences with independent dwell thresholds, since a drive-thru pass and a dine-in visit look very different in duration.
No — there's nothing for staff or guests to do. The trigger fires from the device's own location in the background, with no scanning or app-opening required.
No — GeoNest hands fences to the phone's native geofencing APIs, which are designed for exactly this kind of repeat, low-power monitoring.
Each fence is scoped and evaluated independently, so overlapping fences from two nearby locations don't interfere with each other.
