The problem

The system is not working for you.

Every booking costs you money. Every no-show costs you more. And your own guests do not even belong to you.

28%average no-show rate

You pay commission on every single booking.

Existing commission-based platforms charge you per cover — even for loyal regulars who have loved your restaurant for years. The more successful you are, the more you pay.

28% of reservations never show up.

No-shows cost Dutch restaurants hundreds of euros every service. You staffed for them. You prepped for them. They simply did not come — and you bear all the loss.

Your guest data belongs to someone else.

Phone numbers, emails, visit history — kept by the platform. You cannot reach your own customers. Every time they book again, you pay again. Your regulars cost you forever.

What you get

Free booking system. Real discounts for guests. Zero commission for you.

Everything you need to welcome guests and get paid — without anyone in between.

Your own booking page

Beautiful, branded, live in 5 minutes. Widget for your site, link for Instagram, QR for your window. Every booking goes directly to you — nobody in between.

Diners pay upfront. You get paid first.

Guests choose how much they plan to spend and pay via iDEAL before arrival. They get an instant discount. You get guaranteed cash before service starts. No-shows become structurally impossible.

Every guest is yours. Forever.

Name, phone, email — stored in your dashboard. Export anytime. Market to them directly. Build the direct relationship that commission platforms have been preventing.

How it works

Live in three steps.

No technical knowledge needed. No installation. No contract.

List your restaurant

Add your restaurant photo, set your opening hours and available time slots. Takes 5 minutes. No technical knowledge needed at all.

Share your booking link

Add the widget to your website, drop the link in your Instagram bio, add it to your Google Business profile. Print the QR code and put it in your window.

Guests book and you get paid

Diners book, pay upfront via iDEAL, and receive an instant discount. The money arrives in your account before they walk through the door.
