GOOD FOR YOUR GUESTS. GOOD FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

From first booking
to next visit.

Make it easy to book, keep your floor running smoothly and build guest relationships that last beyond the bill.

01 / GROW YOUR DIRECT BOOKINGS

Make your website
your front door.

Turn interest into a reservation with a branded booking page and a link you can share anywhere. Guests see your live availability, and every booking becomes part of your restaurant’s guest history.

02 / MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TABLES

Know your floor.
Find your flow.

Plan arrivals around your capacity and pace of service. Bring reservations, walk-ins and your waitlist into one view, so your team can see the next arrival and the next available table.

Put commitment on the books.

Set deposit rules for the bookings that need them. Send payment requests and see what’s paid alongside the reservation, with clear terms for your guests.

Plan with a clearer picture.

See covers, booking sources, cancellations and no-shows in your reports. Use the patterns behind your bookings to plan the next service.

Learn from every visit.

Invite guests to share feedback after dining. Read and reply to reviews in one inbox, so your team can recognise what worked and respond when it didn’t.

GUEST RELATIONSHIPS THAT GROW WITH YOU

Every guest.
A reason to
return.

A favourite table. A dietary preference. An anniversary worth remembering. Keep notes, custom tags and reservation history in a shared guest profile, so the whole team can make the next welcome feel personal.

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Getting to know your next reservation book.

What is ExpectMe?

ExpectMe is restaurant reservation and table management software for independent restaurants. It brings online bookings, the reservation book, table plans, waitlists, deposits and guest profiles into one workspace.

Can guests book directly from my website?

Yes. Add your direct booking link to your website, social profiles and messages. Guests can choose from your live availability without needing a staff account.

How does ExpectMe help me get to know my guests?

Guest profiles bring contact details, notes, custom tags and reservation history together. Your team can check preferences before service, recognise returning guests and export guest records when needed.

How do reservation deposits work?

You can set deposit rules and send guests a payment request with a provider-hosted checkout link. Payment status stays attached to the reservation. Payment availability depends on your venue’s provider configuration.

Can I bring my existing bookings and guest list?

ExpectMe supports CSV imports for guest and reservation data, plus exports for your records. You can review the import results before you start running service.

When will my restaurant’s booking page go live?

After your demo, we’ll help you set up your restaurant. Your booking page stays private until the required setup is complete and you’re ready to publish.

HERE’S TO YOUR NEXT GREAT SERVICE
