Guests & Marketing
162 products listed
Introduction
Getting a guest through the door and then getting them back are two separate jobs, and the software in this group splits along that line. Some tools help people find you and book a table: reservation systems, waitlists, listing pages and websites. Others work on the guests you already have: customer records, email and text campaigns, loyalty schemes, gift cards, WiFi sign-ups, reviews and surveys. A few sell private events and ticketed evenings. Many products cover several of these at once, so the useful question is which job costs you most today. Missed bookings point one way. A customer list you never contact points the other.
Who needs it
Any venue that depends on repeat custom or on bookings, from a single-site restaurant with an empty Tuesday to a multi-site brand that wants one view of every guest. It becomes worth paying for once you notice guests you cannot name, tables that sit empty after no-shows, or regulars you never contact between visits.

What to look for
Which job you are solving first. Booking tools, guest-data tools and review tools overlap but each is strongest at one task. Pick the category for your biggest gap, then check what else the product includes.
Connection to your till and bookings. Guest records are only useful when sales and reservations feed them automatically. Check which POS and reservation systems each product connects to.
Single site or many locations. Some products are built for one restaurant and others for chains with central reporting. Pricing usually follows the number of sites.
Published price or quote only. In the products profiled here a large share ask you to request a demo before showing a price. Ask for the full cost, including messages and add-ons.
At a glance
Across the twelve categories, most products charge a monthly subscription per location or venue, and a large share of products are quote only. Some booking and listing services charge per booking or per diner instead. Check for message credits and add-on modules.
Categories in Guests & Marketing
Reservations & Table Management (70)
A phone that rings during service, a paper diary with crossed-out names and a table left empty by a no-show all cost a restaurant money.
Guest CRM & Customer Data Platform (43)
Every sale, booking, online order and WiFi login leaves a trace of a guest, but each system keeps its own copy.
Restaurant Marketing Automation (email, SMS, push) (42)
Sending a special offer by hand to a list of guests takes an hour you do not have, and it goes out once.
Restaurant Discovery & Listing Management (business-facing) (31)
Diners choose where to eat on maps, review sites and booking apps, and your entry on each one is either accurate or out of date.
Loyalty & Rewards (28)
A paper stamp card lives in a wallet and is often forgotten.
Restaurant Website Builder (25)
Your website is where a hungry guest checks the menu, hours and whether they can order.
Waitlist & Queue Management (22)
A crowd on the pavement, a clipboard and a host guessing waits of twenty minutes is a poor first impression.
Event, Ticketing & Private Dining Booking (15)
A private dining enquiry can be worth more than a night of ordinary covers, yet many arrive as emails that get lost.
Reviews & Reputation Management (15)
Guests read reviews before they book, and an unanswered complaint stays visible for years.
Guests who sit with a coffee and log on to your WiFi are already telling you they have time to spare.
A gift card sells a future visit and brings in cash today.
