How it works

Three evenings to move off the paper diary

Nobody has time to learn software during service. Setup is meant to happen once, on a quiet afternoon, and then get out of the way.

01 — Draw

Build your room

Drag tables onto a grid until the screen looks like your actual floor. Two-tops, banquettes, the awkward one by the kitchen door. Give them the names your staff already use.

02 — Open

Take bookings

Phone, walk-in or your own booking page — everything lands in the same diary. Double bookings become impossible because the room is the source of truth.

03 — Serve

Run the service

Seat, move and combine tables as the evening goes. Everyone on the floor sees the same screen, so the host stops being the only person who knows.

Inside the app

What the host actually looks at

Screens from the alpha, running on a real service. Nothing here is a mock-up drawn for this page.

Floor · Marylebone · Friday service
Floor plan with covers, tables occupied, waitlist and net sales for the evening
The room, at a glance Covers, occupied tables, the waitlist and takings across the top. Tap a table and the reservation opens beside it — who is sitting there, since when, and when the turn ends.
Reservations · new booking
New reservation form with guest details, party size, time slots and a note for the room
Taking a booking on the phone Party size, time, table — and the note that matters. Full slots are struck out, so nobody promises 19:30 when the room turns at 105 minutes.
Seating · 20:00 turn
Seating screen with a waiting list on the left and drag and drop onto free tables
Seating the 20:00 turn Drag a party onto a free table. Waiters and their loads are on the left, so the big table does not land on the person already running four.
Book of the day · first floor
Timeline of the day showing bookings per table across the evening
The whole evening on one line per table Drag a block to move a booking, drag its edge to change the turn. The gaps are where the money is, and here you can see them.
Tonight · Marylebone
Evening dashboard with reservations per day, arrivals list, popular items and waitlist
Tonight, and how it compares Arrivals in order with their state, what is selling, who is waiting and for how long.
Group · six rooms
Group view comparing occupancy and takings across six restaurants
More than one room If you run several places, they sit side by side — occupancy, covers and takings, taken at the same minute.
Orders · table M-1
Order screen with the bill for a table and the printed receipt beside it
And the bill at the end of it The order sits with the table it belongs to. Split it, take payment, print or email the receipt — service, VAT and all.
What it does

Made from what actually goes wrong on a Friday

Every feature below exists because a service broke without it.

Floor constructor

Your room, drawn once and reused every night. Rectangular, round, joined for a party of nine — the plan matches the place, not a template.

One diary

Bookings from the phone, the door and the web land in the same list, in order, with the name and the covers. No second notebook behind the bar.

Live status

Free, booked, seated, finishing. Anyone with a tablet knows the state of the room without asking the person on the door.

Covers and turns

How many people, at what time, how long they stayed. Enough to plan the next Saturday instead of guessing at it.

Guest history

Who has been before, what they asked for, who never showed. Kept on your side, exported whenever you want it.

AI on seating and profit

On Premium and above, an assistant reads the room: which arrangement seats more people, which turns are costing you, where the evening is leaking money.

Guest messaging, your side

Confirmations and reminders go out from your own address, through your own provider. Your guest list stays yours and never passes through us.

Where we are

Honest about the stage: this is an alpha

The product works and we are running it with a small number of restaurants who wanted in early. We would rather say that plainly than pretend to be a finished company. If you join now, you get it free while it is in alpha, and you get to argue with us about what gets built next.

  • Free for the whole alpha, no card taken
  • We set your floor plan up with you
  • Your data exports whenever you ask
  • Leave at any point, nothing to cancel
Pricing

One price per room, per month

No commission on covers and nothing taken per booking. You pay for the room, however busy it gets.
