Tablein

tablein.com

A small Lithuanian company with an unfashionable virtue: it built a booking system independent restaurants can afford and set up themselves. Tablein offers a widget for the site and social profiles, table plan, automatic confirmations and reminders by email and SMS, deposits and card details against no shows, guest notes and simple statistics, all on a flat monthly plan with no fee per cover and a free trial before payment.

The audience is clear enough: bistros, cafes, wine bars and family restaurants with one or two rooms, in Europe and beyond, run by people who want the diary to work and nothing more. Large groups with complex shift patterns, deep CRM needs or heavy integration lists will hit the ceiling quickly. Support is helpful but the team is small, and there is no consumer network sending new guests.
