Operations automation

Table Reservation Confirmations

Sends restaurant guests an instant booking confirmation and reminder by SMS, WhatsApp or email, lets them modify or cancel, and keeps the reservation system up to date.

The business problem

Guests expect quick confirmation, and manual calls or emails are slow and prone to mistakes. No-shows leave tables empty at busy times. Changes made by phone are not always recorded.

The manual process today

Where the time goes before automation:

  1. Confirm bookings by phone
  2. Write bookings in a reservation book
  3. Call guests to remind them
  4. Update the book when guests change plans
