The Problem

Restaurants lose $1K–$5K per week from no-shows (average 20% no-show rate). Manual reservation books cause double-bookings. Hosts can't optimize table assignments without data. OpenTable charges $2.50 per cover, costing popular restaurants $50K+/year.

The Solution

Restaurant table management platform with online reservations, intelligent table assignment, automated no-show reduction via confirmations, waitlist management, and guest CRM — at a fraction of OpenTable's per-cover costs.

Why Now?

OpenTable's per-cover fees are driving restaurants to alternatives. Diners expect online reservations as standard. No-show rates increased post-COVID. AI can optimize table assignments better than humans.

Revenue Model

Flat monthly: $79/mo (1 location, up to 100 covers/day), $149/mo (300 covers), $249/mo (unlimited + multi-location). No per-cover fees. Annual: 20% discount.
