Restaurant reservation system
A restaurant reservation system takes table bookings and spreads them across sittings without going over capacity. Ours is part of the restaurant software from Meypi Developers, a software studio in the Barcelona metropolitan area: guests book on your website, the booking goes into the same system as the dining room and orders, and when they arrive their table opens.
What is a restaurant reservation system?
It is the software that takes table bookings, sorts them by day and sitting, and never lets anyone book more than your venue can hold.
Many of them work on their own, as one more diary. Ours sits inside the same system as the dining room, the kitchen and orders: the booking knows which table it takes and stays on the guest’s record.
How does a booking go, from your website to the table?
This is how a booking comes in and becomes an occupied table, with no back-and-forth calls.
Your sittings and your capacity
You set your lunch and dinner sittings and how many people fit in each. The dashboard shows you how each sitting is going.
They book on your website
Your guests choose the day, sitting and party size on your website, without calling, and the booking appears in your dashboard straight away.
Never over capacity
When a sitting fills up, your website stops offering it. You never take more bookings than you have tables.
Arrival opens the table
When the guest arrives, their booking opens their table on the dining room floor plan, ready to take the order.
If they do not come
If someone does not turn up, you mark it as a no-show and it stays on their record.
Their full record
The guest’s record brings together their bookings, their orders and their no-shows. If they accept your campaigns, you can write to them under your brand.
What your reservation system does
To fill your venue without back-and-forth calls or double-booked tables.
Bookings from your website
Guests choose the day, sitting and party size on your website, without calling.
Sittings
You set your lunch and dinner sittings, and each booking falls into its own.
Capacity with no overbooking
The system only offers what fits: you never take more bookings than you have tables.
Arrival opens the table
When the guest arrives, their booking opens their table in the dining room, ready to take the order.
No-shows
If someone does not turn up, it is noted on their record.
Your calendar, your brand
Every booking in your dashboard calendar, under your brand, and each one on its guest’s record alongside their orders.
We set up your sittings and capacity with you when you start.
Book a demoSittings and capacity, your way
You decide how many sittings you have, when each one starts and how many people fit. The system spreads the bookings and only offers what is still available.
Bookings you take by phone go into the same calendar as the ones from your website, so a slot that is already taken is never offered.
Your sittings
Lunch and dinner, or whatever you have, each with its time.
Your capacity
How many people fit in each sitting.
One calendar
Website bookings and the ones you take, together.
Under your brand
Your dashboard calendar and the booking on your website carry your brand.
What do you know about who books?
Each booking stays on the guest’s record, next to their orders: how often they have come, what they usually order and whether they ever failed to turn up.
With that, you can write under your brand to those who accept your campaigns, and reward returning guests with points.
Bookings and orders together
On the same record.
No-shows
You know who tends not to turn up.
Campaigns
By email or text message, only to those who accept.
Points
For guests who come back.
Does it work with the website I already have?
Yes. The booking can go on the website you already have or on a new one built with Meypi Core. Either way, your guests only see the slots that are left, because they are read from the same calendar your dining room uses.
And if you later want online ordering or the QR menu, they connect to the same system without rebuilding anything.
On your current website
Without having to change it.
Or on a new one
Built with Meypi Core, under your brand.
Slots always up to date
They come from your dining room’s calendar.
How is it set up?
From your booking diary to your dashboard calendar.
Your sittings and capacity
You tell us your sittings, your tables and how many people fit.
Your floor plan
We build the plan with your tables, so each arrival opens the right one.
Booking on your website
We add it to the website you already have or to a new one.
Your team
They learn to see bookings, open tables and mark no-shows before the first service.
Bookings sit alongside orders and the dining room in the same system.
A standalone booking tool or one inside your restaurant system?
| Inside your system | Standalone booking tool | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the booking lives | In the same system as the dining room and orders | In a separate diary |
| When the guest arrives | Their table opens | You open the table by hand in another program |
| The guest record | Bookings and orders together | Bookings in one place and orders in another |
| The brand | Your restaurant’s | Depends on the tool |
When it is not worth it
If you only need to write bookings down and do not want to link them to the dining room or orders, a standalone booking tool will do.
How much does a reservation system cost?
The reservation system is included in your venue’s monthly fee, together with the rest of the software. What shapes the fee:
Venues
Each venue has its own fee.
Website
Whether we build you a new website or connect the one you have.
Everything else
Which other parts you use: orders, kitchen, delivery or campaigns.
We send you the proposal in writing, with the fee and everything it includes.
Book a demoQuestions about the reservation system
How do you stop more tables being booked than you have?
You set your capacity and sittings, and the system only offers the slots that are left. When a sitting fills up, it stops offering it.
What happens if a guest does not turn up?
It is noted on their record, so you know who tends to miss bookings the next time they reserve.
