Talk through the details ↗
Can I put the booking form on our existing website?
Yes. Booking provides a public venue booking link and an embedded booking flow. You can keep your existing website and direct guests into your restaurant’s availability.
Can I limit the number of guests arriving at once?
Yes. Cover limits per slot work alongside service schedules, slot intervals, maximum online party size and lead times. Dining-duration rules can also vary by party size.
Can guests change a reservation themselves?
Yes. The guest management flow supports booking lookup, rescheduling and cancellation. Your online change rules determine when those actions are allowed.
Does the floor map work offline?
Plan to use it with an internet connection. Home Screen installation provides convenient tablet access; it is not a promise of offline booking operation.
What does the free trial include?
The first 50 restaurants are invited to trial selected app access free. We’ll confirm availability, terms and any separate provider usage costs before setup.
