You're giving your customers the ability not just to make online bookings but also to make changes to it should the need arise. A confirmation email is sent out instantly as well as a reminder email to help reduce no-shows and ultimately impact your bottom line in a positive way. As the restaurant owner, you've got a clear picture of your upcoming reservations and multiple ways in which to view them such as calendar or list. All your restaurant bookings that come in via your website is stored at the back-end which you can later use for your own marketing purposes.

Table Pilot offers your restaurant the opportunity to capitalize on this trend through the integration of a fully functional website restaurant reservation system, creating a smooth and reliable booking process both on your part and the part of your customers.

Integrating this into your website is as simple as pasting a few lines of code to bring the reservation system to life and you’re good to go.

Regardless of how many reservations your website visitors make via Table Pilot you only pay a single, low monthly fee.

What’s more, all the tools you’d need to manage your bookings, set reminders, calendar list of reservations and so on are all included. Why not take check out it and see for yourself?

Highly Customisable, Because everyone is different

No two restaurants are alike. Each individual restaurant has its own unique needs and requirements, and thus its operational software should be completely customized to its individual processes. Following extensive feedback from restaurant industry professionals, Table Pilot has been built to meet restaurants’ individual requirements.

Table Pilot is highly customizable, offering restaurants a world of possibilities to suit every individual desire. Through its innovative software you have the power to tailor everything from the colour scheme to the size of the widget to the maximum number of covers per booking – modifying everything to your unique criteria.

Are there any on-going charges or commission to pay? Can the online booking feature be added to an existing website? What changes if any will be required to my existing website? How safe is my customer data? Where is it stored? Can the booking module be customised? What are the capabilities of the reservation system's Content Management System (CMS)?

Are there any on-going charges or commission to pay?

Perhaps the most frequent question we're asked and the answer is no. What differentiates Digital Restaurant to OpenTable or ResDiary or most of the other restaurant booking systems out there is that we don't charge a commission per booking made through our engine. There's only a one-off cost and nothing more.

Can the online booking feature be added to an existing website?

It can indeed. The module is compatible with most existing website technologies and platforms such as WordPress, Magento, Custom PHP to name a few.

What changes if any will be required to my existing website?

That depends on the level of integration you'd like. So that your website visitors don't miss your newly added online booking facility, at the very least we recommend having a main menu item such as 'Order Online' such as the example shown below and Digital Restaurant would carry out this change as part of the installation.

The online bookingwidget itself will be fully customised in terms of it's design and feel and will very much look like a part of your current website.

How safe is my customer data? Where is it stored?

Digital Restaurant's online booking engine sits on your own hosting/server and integrates with your existing website. Therefore, once integration is complete and the system is up and running, all your customer and booking data is held by you and not accessible by Digital Restaurant.

Can the booking module be customised?

Yes it can. Digital Restaurant understands that different restaurants have different requirements when it comes to online bookings, whether the reservation is for lunch or dinner, the number of covers and so on. All of this can be accounted for and rules set so the reservation module functions in the way you require. For example, if you don't want to accept online booking for dinners during Friday and Saturday or bookings over 8 people need to be carried out over the phone, the system can be set as such.

What are the capabilities of the reservation system's Content Management System (CMS)?

There's not much you won't be able to change yourself using the Digital Restaurant's powerful CMS that drives the reservation module. Here's a few:

Block off dates or times or time periods from the online availability
Change the earliest and latest dates/times for lunch and/or dinner
View a calendar of all bookings
Disable online reservations with a single click, starting it back up is just as easy
