Who it is for

  • Independent and multi-unit full-service restaurants

    One flat fee per location with every feature included, and no per-cover or seating fees.

  • Restaurants wanting to own the guest relationship

    The vendor says it is a software provider with no consumer marketplace, so bookings come through the restaurant's own website, Google and social links.

  • Restaurants selling ticketed events

    Ticketed event registration is included in the plan, with guests paying online when they book.

  • Restaurant groups with 10 to 1,000 locations

    The vendor offers custom enterprise packages and integration with existing infrastructure.

Less suited to: Restaurants that want to be discovered by new diners through a marketplace. The vendor states it has no consumer marketplace and does not send guest traffic.

What it does

  • Online reservations

    Bookings from the restaurant website, Google Maps, social media, email and SMS land in one view at the host stand.

  • Table and floor plan management

  • Reservation timeline

    A visual timeline of upcoming bookings to prepare for each rush.

  • Wait-time quotes
