Sound familiar?
- Christmas and New Year bookings coming in by phone, Instagram and WhatsApp, all at the same time.
- Deposits to ask for, chase and note down by hand.
- Booked tables left empty on the biggest night of the year.
- Menu choices, allergies and head counts found out on the night.
From idea to opening night, in four steps
Create your night
Photos, programme, menu and price: the page for your Christmas dinner or New Year's party is ready in a few minutes, with your logo and your colours. It's your shop window, not ours.
Set up tickets and questions
One ticket for dinner and one for the after-party, each with its own places, and an early bird for those who book first. With one click you ask about allergies, intolerances and menu choice, guest by guest.
Fill the room
Share the link with your customers, on social media or on your website, and give your regulars a discount code. And get help selling out: your most loyal customers become your ambassadors and bring new guests with their Ambassador code.
Get paid and welcome them
Guests pay when they book, securely, and the money goes to your account. When the places run out, bookings close on their own. At the door, a phone is all you need.
