Restaurant bookings:The group’s menu, agreed before they arrive
A group calls: “There are ten of us coming for lunch, can you set a menu?”. You record the booking with the name, time, party size, dishes and total price. When they arrive, the waiter seats them from the POS or the waiter app and the order is already there.

What you manage with bookings
Built for groups that book a set menu, from birthdays to company lunches.
All your bookings
Date, time, name, party size and phone number. Filter by day, status or location.
Set menu with a total price
Choose the dishes and drinks included and the agreed price for the whole group. The dashboard shows the price per person.
Reserved table, if you like
Assign a table when you record the booking and it stays blocked until the group arrives. Or let the waiter choose.
Seated in one tap
From the POS or the waiter app, the waiter seats the booking and the order is created with the whole menu.
The kitchen sees every dish
The order lists each dish of the menu for the kitchen and, at payment, a single line at the agreed price.
Every booking with its status
Pending, seated, closed, cancelled or no-show. You know where each one stands.

Can I record group bookings with a set menu?
Yes. You record the name, party size, date and time, the dishes and drinks included and the total price of the menu.
Can customers book online?
No. Your team records bookings from the dashboard when customers call or drop by.
Can I include dishes that are not on the menu?
Yes. You can include dishes that are switched off on the POS and the QR menu, because they only exist for that booking.
What if the group doesn’t show up?
You mark the booking as a no-show or cancel it, and the table it had reserved is released.
Do the POS and waiter app see bookings?
Yes. When you record, seat or cancel a booking, the location’s POS and waiter apps see it straight away.
