The problem
Bookings come in by DM and phone, deposits by bank transfer, and on the night the book says full while tables sit empty.
A DM, a call, a line in a book, and a transfer to check before the table is held.
Screenshots to match and no record of who paid for which night.
Guests who never paid never come, and the tables they held could have been sold.
A deposit is a promise to come. Take it when they book.
01 · Booked anywhere
Guests book on your own website, from the booking link in your Instagram bio, or straight from your Google listing with Reserve with Google. The booking widget takes your colours and works on any site.
02 · Deposits that stick
Ask for a fixed amount, a share of a minimum spend, or a deposit by party size, per guest or per booking. Require it after a set time, above a party size, by area or for special dates, and it comes off the bill on the night.
03 · Themed nights
Set up an experience with its own days, arrival window and deposit per guest. Choose whether regular dining stays open alongside it, and whether bookings are instant or wait for your approval.
04 · Nothing slips
See each guest’s notes, birthday and dietary needs with their booking. A guest who starts paying a deposit and doesn’t finish gets a payment link by WhatsApp and email, and a deposit sheet every morning shows what was held, paid out or refunded.
