How a service runs

From first booking to last table turned

One system carries the whole night: the guest reserves, the host seats, the guest book remembers.

01The booking page

Guests reserve from your own site

Your booking page lives at your link: on your website, your Google Business Profile, your Instagram bio. Live availability comes from your real tables, turn times and pacing rules, so the times a guest sees are times you can actually seat.

  • Date, party size, live time grid
  • Confirmation email with a manage link
  • Embeds on your site with one snippet

02The host stand

Run tonight's service from one screen

Every reservation for the night in one timeline: who is next through the door, which table they take, who is seated, who is running late. Walk-ins and the waitlist live on the same screen, so nothing gets scribbled on a scrap of paper.

  • Seat, complete, or mark a no-show in one tap
  • Covers and pacing at a glance
  • Waitlist with quoted times

03The guest book

Every visit builds a guest book you own

Each reservation adds to a guest record: visit count, no-show history, allergies, the table they prefer, the occasion they mentioned. It is your data about your guests, and it exports to CSV free, any time.

  • Tags, dietary notes, visit history
  • Spot regulars and first-timers at the door
  • Full CSV export on the Free plan

Your guest book exports to CSV free, any time. It leaves with you.

No-show protection

A no-show costs you the table. Now it costs them too.

On Pro, you can ask for a card at booking. Guests who show up never notice. Guests who ghost a six-top on a Saturday pay the fee you set, charged in one click, straight to your Stripe account.

You set the fee
A card hold at booking, at whatever amount fits your room. Many restaurants start at $25 a guest.
One click to charge
Mark the no-show at the host stand, charge the fee from the same row. No paperwork, no dispute forms.
100% goes to you
The charge runs on your own Stripe account. We take no cut of no-show fees, ever.

Honest pricing

Flat pricing, done out loud

Per-cover fees tax you for being busy. We charge one flat number and publish it, so you can do this math in your head.

Your guest book leaves with you

  • Full guest book export to CSV, free, on every plan
  • We never sell, rent or share your guest data
  • Your guests book under your name, not ours
  • Cancel and your data still exports; nothing is held hostage
