Tables timeline
Every table down the side, every booking laid out by time.
A pub booking system for tables and rooms, with no per-cover fees
Guests book a table or request a room on your own website. Every request lands in one dashboard and is confirmed by email. It's our own system, built from scratch and set up for your pub, restaurant or B&B, for one simple monthly fee.
How it works
Online table booking on your own website, in three steps
No third-party widget and no app for guests to download: the booking form is part of your own site.
- A guest books on your website
They pick a table or room, a date, a time and party size.
- It lands in your dashboard
It shows on the Tables timeline or the rooms calendar. Table bookings are seated automatically.
- You confirm, the email goes out
The guest gets a confirmation email automatically.

Pricing
A commission-free booking system, with no per-cover fees
Many booking platforms charge per cover. A cover is one guest at one meal, so a table of four means four fees, sometimes on top of a monthly subscription.
So the bill grows the busier you get, and your best months cost you the most.
We charge one simple monthly fee instead, the same in a quiet January as a packed December, with no commission on rooms. Ask us for a price.
Rooms
Tables and rooms in one system, for pubs with rooms and B&Bs
Let rooms as well as serve food? Table and room bookings come through the same website into one dashboard, with a guest record for everyone who books.
Your rooms calendar can sync with booking sites through iCal to keep dates in step. That's calendar sync, not a full channel manager, so prices are still set on each site.
Need a new website too? See our pub and restaurant websites.
Security
Your guest data stays yours, and stays secure
Bookings made on your website stay in your own dashboard, not on a third-party booking platform.
- Guest details are encrypted.
- Two-step staff sign-in, with recovery codes.
- Export or erase a guest's records for UK GDPR data requests.

FAQ
Booking system questions
How much does a restaurant booking system cost in the UK?
It depends how the system charges: a monthly subscription, a fee per cover, or both. Ours is one simple monthly fee with no per-cover or commission fees. Email us for a price.
What are per-cover fees, and do you charge them?
It's a charge for each guest booked through a platform, so a table of six means six fees. We don't charge them, however busy you get.
Can guests book a table straight from our own website?
Yes. The booking form is part of your website, not a link to someone else's, and every request goes straight to your dashboard.
Can one system handle both table bookings and room bookings?
Yes. Table bookings and room requests come into one dashboard, with tables on a timeline and floor plan, and rooms on their own calendar.
Will our room calendar sync with Booking.com and Airbnb?
They can sync through iCal, a calendar link many booking sites offer, to keep your dates in step. It isn't a full channel manager, so prices are still set on each site.
Is guest data kept secure, and can we handle GDPR data requests?
Yes. Guest details are encrypted and staff use two-step sign-in with recovery codes. If a guest asks for their data, or for it to be deleted, you can export or erase their records.
