Live table grid
Hosts see the floor in real time and can move parties with a drag.
Web App
Restaurant Booking System
Reservations that feel like the host already knows you.
Overview
A small restaurant group lost dozens of bookings a week to phone tag. They needed a reservation system that worked on the host stand, on the diner's phone and in the team's existing email inbox.
We built a focused web app — no app store, no install — that handles availability, deposits and reminders in one flow.
Challenges
- 1
Model table availability across multiple venues with overlapping seating times.
- 2
Keep deposits painless: charge only on no-shows, refund automatically on time.
- 3
Send reminders that the kitchen and the diner can both trust.
What was built
📲
SMS confirmations
Diners confirm or cancel with a single tap — no app required.
💰
Smart deposits
Stripe holds a deposit; we capture it only when a no-show is recorded.
🔔
Two-way reminders
Reminders that update if the diner reschedules from the email itself.
