Fill every cover with no per-cover fee
Diners reserve and pay on your own branded page for one flat subscription, not a fee per cover, so a packed Friday night costs the same as a quiet Tuesday.
Table Booking System for Restaurants
Take table reservations for walk-ins, big parties and prepaid tasting-menu nights, with fixed sitting times and a deposit option for larger bookings. Guests book and pay online 24/7 on your own branded page, while SimplyBook.me holds every request for your approval and stores each guest's dietary notes with the booking for your team to review.

Why you should choose SimplyBook.me
A phone that never stops ringing for reservations, a fully booked Saturday with no waiting list, and allergy notes that never make it to the kitchen: that is what a restaurant runs on without a system built for tables, not tickets.
Approve each table before you hold it
Every table request lands in your queue first, so you confirm large parties and peak sittings yourself instead of a busy Saturday filling up on its own.
Collect allergy notes when they book
Ask for dietary needs, allergies and the occasion at booking with a simple form, so the details are on record in your dashboard before the guest arrives.
Restaurant table booking is one part of our wider events and entertainment booking system, covering event planners, entertainers and recreational equipment rental too.
The restaurant reservation features you actually use
The tools restaurants actually use to confirm the right tables, manage parties and dietary needs, and get found where diners are already looking.
Confirm & seat every booking
-
Approve Bookings
Review every table request before it is confirmed, so a large party or a peak Saturday sitting is never auto-accepted.
-
Appointment at Fixed Time
Set fixed sitting times, like 6:00 PM, 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM, so tables turn over on schedule instead of guests arriving whenever they like.
-
Waiting List
When every table for the night is booked, guests join a waiting list automatically instead of being turned away with no way back in.
Manage parties & dietary needs
-
Group Bookings
Let one guest reserve and pay for the whole party in a single booking, so a table for eight is one confirmation, not eight phone calls.
-
Intake Forms
Ask for dietary needs, allergies and the occasion at booking with intake forms, so the details are on record in your dashboard before the guest arrives.
-
Accept Payments & Deposits
Take full payment up front or just a deposit for large parties and tasting-menu nights through 30+ payment processors, with accept payments through your booking page, so a no-show costs the guest, not you.
Get found & fill the night
-
Facebook and Instagram Bookings
Let guests reserve a table with Facebook and Instagram bookings, from your Facebook Page, or from Instagram on mobile, without leaving the app they are already using.
-
Google Business
Show a book-a-table button on your Google Business Profile, so diners reserve straight from Search or Maps. Availability depends on region and category.
-
Automated Reminders
Send automatic email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders before every sitting, cutting the no-shows that leave a table empty on a busy night.
