For independent restaurants

Reservations for your restaurant, on your own website, from US$19.90 a month.

No per-cover fees. No contract. Guests book in three taps on your site, in your colours, and you run the night from an iPad at the door.

No card to start. Cancel any month and take every guest record with you.

This is the real widget, on the Demo Bistro. Book a table and see what your guests see. Nothing is sent, and the demo resets every night.

80%of October's bookings came through the widget, not the phone
2.5%of bookings were no-shows, with guests confirming their own reminders
7 in 10guests agreed to texts when they booked

The gap, plainly

A room with 20 to 80 seats has had two choices. Live inside a free plan's caps, or pay a few hundred dollars a month for a system built for restaurant groups and hotels, often with a fee on every guest on top.

Maitrebook gives you the parts of those systems a small room actually uses: the floor plan, the texting, card holds, the guest notes. It costs about what you spend on lemons.

Every feature, line by line, including the ones still on the way

Built at the door, not in a boardroom

One tap per status

Seated, finished, no-show. Targets big enough for a thumb when the door is three deep.

Made for an iPad in a dim room

The host stand was designed on the iPad at Dickie Baxter's front door, by the people who stand there every night.

No-shows handled honestly

Cards are held, never charged on their own. A charge takes two separate decisions by your staff, and guests read the policy in plain words before they book.

Your guests stay yours

No marketplace between you and the people who eat with you. No Maitrebook logo in front of them on a paid plan.

A note from Dominic

I run Dickie Baxter Taproom & Bistro in Canning, Nova Scotia, and every table we book goes through Maitrebook, on an iPad by the door.

I built it because the systems that could handle our floor wanted a few hundred dollars a month and a fee on every guest. The free ones couldn't tell me which table was open at eight on a Saturday.

This is the same system, opened up to rooms like ours, at a price you shouldn't have to think about. There will never be a per-cover fee. If you leave, every guest record goes with you.

If you'd rather see it on your own floor plan first, book a call and I'll show you myself.
