At forty seats, one empty table is four percent of the night.
A small room cannot absorb a no-show, and cannot afford software that makes the floor look clumsy.
A no-show is not one table
It is also the second seating you turned away at six because the book said you were full.
Nobody marks the no-show
At nine on a Saturday the floor has better things to do, so the pattern never shows up.
Deposits feel hostile
Asking every guest for a card is a bad first impression. Asking a party of eight is just sensible.
The first week, in four decisions.
- 01
A reminder with two buttons
“I’ll be there” and “Cancel”. No account, no password, so people actually answer.
- 02
No-shows that record themselves
Set how long you keep holding. Anything still empty gets recorded without anyone remembering.
- 03
Deposits above a party size
Refunded automatically inside your window, returned in full if you cancel, kept on a no-show.
- 04
History in front of you
Past visits and past no-shows show on the booking before you decide to hold the table.
