The London hospitality scene

While London hospitality does benefit from a thriving tourism industry, it has also faced the brunt of a tough few years. In the first instance, the cultural shift to work from home has resulted in fewer bookings and walks-ins for London restaurants, cafes and bars whether that is from after work drinks, business meetings or workers popping out for lunch. Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis has hit hospitality, including London, twofold, with suppliers hiking costs and consumers cutting back on dining out. Last, but certainly not least, while tourism remains high in the capital, visitor figures have still not returned to pre-pandemic levels, leaving London hospitality facing significant challenges. Despite these obstacles, competition remains as high as ever in London, leaving restaurants, cafes and bars racing to cut supplier costs, remain competitive with pricing and also offer something unique.

How our table booking system can help London hospitality venues?

Our London table booking system can help venues by placing them in front of consumers at the right time, therefore increasing those all-important covers. Our table reservation system consists of an easy to use widget that is embedded on your website and social media providing diners with an easy-access tool to book tables online, freeing up your phone lines and staff from manually taking bookings. Meanwhile, the software comes with an integrated easy-to-use table management system to monitor bookings and table plans, streamlining your processes, preparing you for those fully-booked evenings and freeing up your time to you to focus on growing your restaurant.

With no-shows prevalent across the sector, especially in larger cities such as London, our table booking system comes with an integrated deposits system powered by Stripe. You therefore have the option to charge deposits or take card details at the point of booking, reducing no-shows and safeguarding that all-important revenue.

Meanwhile, with rent and overheads in London high, pubs and restaurants need to save costs where they can. Likewise, with so many covers throughout the week, venues cannot afford to pay per-booking fees. Unlike other booking software providers, our table booking system has no per-cover charges. Instead, we offer a transparent fee with no hidden charges. This means you can account for our fee while increasing your covers and reducing your admin, a must in the competitive London hospitality scene.
