Questions

What do you need from my venue?

Your rooms, menus, prices, policies and Stripe account. Our launch service sets them up with you and tests the booking path before launch.

Can I take my guest records with me?

Yes. Read every conversation and export your guest and booking records, including for 30 days after you leave.

Can guests book tables too?

Yes. Our team sets up table booking in chat around your website and reservation system.

What if a guest asks something the host doesn't know?

It tells the guest your team will confirm, and the question shows up in your workspace. Add the answer once, and the host uses it from then on.

Your next event. Let's get it booked.
