Why not set the maximum number of restaurant covers per time slot to prevent kitchen overload, change the maximum restaurant covers for different time slots to improve yield or rank restaurant tables in the order they should be booked out?

Perhaps the best thing is you can automatically divert customers from busy or closed time slots to earlier or later availability or another group restaurant so you NEVER miss an opportunity to take a restaurant booking.

No more 'no shows'

restaurantdiary gives you a range of tools so you can virtually eliminate 'no shows'.

For example, you can set a booking fee and check credit card numbers automatically for validity at time of booking; instantly blacklist email address of 'no shows' and take deposits only on weekends for parties of 4 or more.

Unprecedented access to priceless restaurant information and key performance indicators

restaurantdiary gives you full reporting to the nth degree on past, present or future bookings and customer information, like total spend or restaurant seating preferences.

So, for example, you can compare restaurant booking totals for last month versus the same period last year and use that information to make accurate assessments of staffing levels.

Or you can build a marketing list of all restaurant customers who spent over £100 in the last three months and target them with specific offers.
