Process

How We Build It

A proven 5-step process that de-risks your project and gets you to market fast.

01

Discovery

We map your market, users and the exact workflows your product must support, and lock the technical architecture before we write code.

02

Design

UI/UX and interaction design for every role in the system, prototyped and testable before development.

03

Development

Agile sprints with weekly builds. The consumer app, partner/provider backend and admin run in parallel so you see working software every week.

04

Testing

QA across devices, browsers and edge cases. Performance, security and usability are verified before every release.

05

Launch and Support

Deployment, monitoring, analytics and a post-launch maintenance plan so the product keeps improving after go-live.

Business Models

Choose Your Operating Model

The model you pick drives the architecture. We build all three, and advise on which fits your market.

DTC Reservation

Best for: No marketplace commission or data loss

White-Label

Agency or group rolls out branded booking for many venues.

Best for: Reusable product and recurring licensing

Booking Marketplace

Many restaurants listed with discovery, payments and a commission model.

Best for: Largest reach, highest complexity

Monetization

How the Platform Makes Money

Revenue models that work in your vertical, built in from day one.

Subscription

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a restaurant booking app cost?

A single-restaurant reservation app is roughly $25,000-$60,000 for an MVP; a full suite with floor plan, waitlist, guest CRM and loyalty runs $60,000-$150,000+.

How is this different from using OpenTable or Resy?

Those marketplaces charge per cover and own your diner data. A custom build removes the cut and keeps data and branding yours.

What is a realistic timeline?

A single-venue MVP in 6-10 weeks; a multi-outlet or marketplace build in 3-6 months.

Does it cut no-shows?

Yes. Automatic reminders, confirmations and deposits measurably reduce no-shows.

Can it connect to my POS?

Yes. We integrate with leading POS, email, SMS and CRM tools so reservations flow into your stack.

Can I use my own POS and calendar?

Yes. We integrate leading POS, calendar, SMS, email and CRM systems so reservations flow into your existing stack.

How does this compare to OpenTable or Resy?

Marketplaces charge per cover and keep diner data. A custom build removes the cut and keeps guest data and branding yours.

Can it support multi-location chains?

Yes. Dining groups and chains get central management with per-venue floor plans and rules.

What does it cost to run after launch?

Plan roughly 15-20% of the build per year for maintenance, hosting and support.

Can we add online ordering and loyalty later?

Yes. Ordering, loyalty and delivery are additive modules we build onto the reservation core.

Marketplaces Keep Your Diners. You Should Own Them

OpenTable, Resy and Tock take a cut and hold your diner data. A booking app you own gives the same power with your brand and your guest list.

We help independent restaurants, dining groups, chains and reservation marketplaces launch software that converts and retains diners.

Proven Track Record

500+ apps delivered; booking and marketplace platforms are core strengths.

No-Show Focus

Reminders, deposits and waitlists built in - not a generic booking widget.

Launch Ready

A working reservation and booking MVP in weeks.
