Live availability, deposits that stop no-shows, automatic refunds and a reminder before every visit, all on your domain, in your brand, with no third-party booking site between you and your guests. Included with every menyu plan.
Guests pick a date, a time and a party size, add a note if they like, and they're done, on any phone. They only ever see times you can actually seat, they get an instant confirmation with an add-to-calendar button, and a reminder lands before the visit so the table doesn't sit empty.
Take a deposit per head on every booking, only for large parties, or only at your busiest times: Friday and Saturday nights, Sunday lunch, whatever yours are. Deposits come off the bill, so guests read them as commitment, not a charge. Cancel in time and the refund goes back to their card automatically, no phone call needed.
Tell the system how long a table is really occupied: by service, so lunch turns in 60 minutes and dinner in 90, and by party size, so big tables get longer. It tracks who's still seated and only sells the space you actually have. Prefer simple? Run a straightforward per-slot limit instead.
A booking with money attached deserves the same care as an order. This is the part guests never see and you never worry about.
Payment confirmations arrive by three independent routes plus a background check, so a guest who loses signal mid-payment is still confirmed and still emailed.
A booking that's started but never paid for is released automatically, so the table isn't lost to a ghost.
Limits per customer, per day and per connection stop scripts and pranksters filling your diary with fiction.
Deposits are taken through a 3-D Secure compliant processor, with refunds issued automatically on cancellation.
Cancellation deadline, refund policy, no-show policy, party sizes: you set them, and the customer-facing terms are written from them automatically.
Every confirmation and cancellation lands in the inboxes you choose: front of house, the manager, or both.
Nothing extra. Reservations are included with every menyu plan, and there are no per-cover fees: a fully booked Saturday costs you the same as a quiet Tuesday. See full pricing.
Used bluntly, they can. That's why you can limit them to large parties or busy periods only, and why they're deducted from the bill: guests read that as commitment, not a charge. And a guest who cancels in time gets refunded automatically, which is the part they remember.
Guests cancel online any time before your deadline: the deposit refunds to their card automatically and the table goes straight back on sale. Past the deadline, your policy applies, and because guests explicitly accepted your terms when booking, with the wording and timestamp stored, you're covered if anyone disputes it.
Yes. Groups get one Book a Table page listing every restaurant: guests pick a location and book, and each location keeps its own capacity, hours, deposits and rules.
Not today, and that's deliberate. menyu reservations is built for independents and small groups who want a world-class guest booking journey and a lean, no-nonsense back office, without paying per cover for a floor plan on a screen. If your operation genuinely needs table-level management, we'll tell you so at the demo. Online amendments and approve-before-confirm are next on our list.
