FAQs on restaurant booking software
What is a restaurant reservation system?
A restaurant reservation system primarily enables customers to book table reservations through the restaurant's website. The restaurant staff can then manage bookings digitally from checking how many covers are booked for a particular day, to managing cancellations, booking reminders and confirmations.
Online booking software makes bookings and table management easier to keep updated and manage than traditional paper diaries. Managers have more visibility of the number of guests expected so they can plan, order and staff effectively.
Customers benefit from a simple, easy-to-use online booking process that guarantees a table at the time and place they want.
Online reservation software may also include additional features that help restaurants manage bookings and enquiries such as automated confirmation and reminder emails and communications, queue management, table management and the authorisation of pre-payments and deposits.

How much does restaurant reservation software cost?
The cost of a restaurant reservation system will largely depend on what a venue needs - as there are different pricing structures that will suit different businesses. Some solutions offer fixed monthly fee software with different levels of functionality and others have a similar model where there may be a fee for the platform but the cost is commission based with charges based on covers.
It is advised that restaurant operators familiarise themselves with the different pricing structures of reservation systems and align the cost with the software functionality to decide the value it will offer their business.

Why is table booking software important for restaurants?
Enhancing the efficiency of your table reservation system is crucial for the seamless operation of your restaurant. Adopting digital table booking software centralises all enquiries, streamlining the reservation process for both your staff and customers.
The advantages of digital table booking software extend beyond manual booking diaries. It provides an accurate and easily accessible record of reservations, reducing errors and missing information. This results in an improved guest experience as pre-orders and dietary information can be effortlessly stored alongside the booking details.
Moreover, an online table booking and reservation system empowers you to optimise your restaurant's sales potential. It helps maximise venue space utilisation and minimises no-shows by offering pre-orders and deposit collection at the booking stage, ensuring a more efficient and profitable operation.
