What you actually get

No fluff. These are the parts operators tell us they use weekly.

Live availability per shift

Define service windows + turn times once. The booking widget shows only what you can actually serve — no overbooking, no confused phone-backs.

Smart table assignment

We hold four-tops for four-tops until 20 minutes past the booking window, then release. You configure the rule; we run it 24/7.

Deposit-protected weekends

Charge a refundable deposit for high-risk slots (Friday 7pm). The guest sees a clear refund policy; no-shows drop overnight.

One inbox for everything

Web bookings, phone-in entries, embed widget, partner sites — all land in the same dashboard with the same confirmation flow.

Frequently asked

Do you charge per cover?

No. We charge a flat monthly subscription per restaurant. Take 1 booking or 10,000 — same price.

Can I block off dates for renovation or private events?

Yes — close any date/time range and the public widget hides those slots automatically.

Will the deposit money flow to my bank?

Yes, via Stripe Connect. We set up the account during onboarding; payouts go to your bank automatically.
