Online card payments

No-shows on a Saturday night cost real money. A weekend tasting menu booked for six that doesn't show up is covers you can't sell anywhere else. Asking for a card deposit upfront filters tire-kickers and keeps the guests who actually plan to come.

Online card payments let you send a payment link to any reservation — by email, SMS, or copy-paste into WhatsApp. The guest clicks, pays by card through a standard online checkout, and the reservation status flips to paid in the app the moment the payment clears. Nobody on your team has to chase it, note it down, or match a bank statement.

Use it for full prepayment (tasting menus, NYE, pop-ups), a fixed per-cover deposit (high-demand weekends), or a refundable hold for large parties. The amount lives on the reservation, and the guest sees exactly what they owe.

Pair it with no-show rules and the booking fills with people who've already committed.
