Benefits for your business

Eight high-impact advantages of our restaurant reservation system—out of 50+ options. Built to grow online reservations, speed seating, and keep data clean. Request for the full list.

Fewer no-shows & late cancellations

Guests commit with money—fewer empty tables at peak. Even if they cancel, the deposit covers your minimum spend/holding cost.

Fewer no-shows & late cancellations

Predictable production, less waste

Advance payment for dishes gives you a locked-in order pipeline: exact portions, fire times, and station load per time slot. That means tighter inventory control, smarter purchasing, fewer 86s, and lower food waste—especially for set menus, tastings, banquets, and peak services.

Predictable production, less waste

More table turns

With menu prepayments, the kitchen gets the order before the guest arrives. Prep starts earlier, courses hit the table on time, and checks don’t clog the host stand at the end—resulting in shorter wait times and faster table turns.

More table turns

Less admin, faster service

Auto-confirm on payment with clear statuses; if a guest doesn’t pay within the set window, the reservation auto-cancels, freeing the table for others.

Higher AOV through planned upsells

Higher AOV through planned upsells

When guests prepay items (e.g., tasting menu, wine pairing, occasion cake), you secure revenue before service and can add smart upsells in the flow (pairings, add-ons, experiences). The outcome is a higher average order value and more consistent revenue, with compliant digital/fiscal receipts and full restaurant analytics on prepay uptake and channel performance.
