Who it is for
Busy restaurants with high table turnover
Automated confirmations, table maps and queue management aim to cut manual booking work and speed up seating.
Restaurant groups and hotel dining
Guest history is shared across all the restaurants a group manages, and the vendor lists hotels and resorts among its customers.
Restaurants adding takeout and delivery
The ordering service lets guests order without an app and lets restaurants use their own or third-party couriers.
Less suited to: Businesses in the European Union or European Economic Area: the terms say Inline may end service to users located there.
