GetSeated

Tables · €49 a month

A table booking system for Irish restaurants, pubs and cafés

GetSeated takes table bookings on your own website and your Google profile, for €49 a month. There is no commission and no per-cover fee, however busy you get, and the customer list stays yours.

What you get

Bookings where your guests already are

A Book button for your website, and one link for your Google Business Profile, Instagram and Facebook. Guests book in under a minute, with no app and no account.

A room that never overfills

Limits on arrivals per time slot and on total covers, a largest group size online, and longer table times for bigger groups.

Fewer no-shows

A confirmation, then one reminder that asks "Still coming?" with a button to confirm or cancel. You see who has confirmed, and who has let you down before.

One diary for everything

Online, phone and walk-in bookings together. Mark arrived or no-show, move a booking when a guest rings, and print a run sheet for the host stand.

Your customers, not ours

Download your customer list any time, with a record of who agreed to hear from you. GetSeated never markets to them or shows them another restaurant.

A plan for a bad day

Each morning the day's bookings are emailed to you, so a broken internet connection never leaves you without your book.

What it costs, and what it doesn't

€49 a month. That covers unlimited bookings and covers, confirmations and reminders, the booking page and the button for your site. There is no contract, so you can cancel any month.

The large platforms charge differently: a monthly fee and then a fee for each diner, or a percentage of deposits. On a busy weekend that adds up quickly. See GetSeated and OpenTable, GetSeated and ResDiary, or, if your booking system is closing, moving from Quandoo.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

GetSeated suits an independent restaurant, pub or café whose guests mostly find it directly: on Google, on its own website, on social media or by word of mouth. You keep those bookings without paying for each one.

It is not a diner marketplace, so it won't send you strangers from an app. It doesn't take deposits, and it has no floor plan or till integration. If you rely on those, a larger system is the better fit.

Questions restaurants ask

How does it stop the kitchen being swamped?

You set how many people can arrive in each time slot and how many you seat in total. The system keeps both limits for every booking, and re-checks them at the moment of booking, so two parties can never take the last table.

Can big groups book online?

You choose the largest group that can book online. Anyone bigger is asked to call you, so you decide how to seat them. Bigger tables are held for longer automatically.

What about phone bookings and walk-ins?

Add them in the same diary in a few taps. Bookings you add yourself skip the online limits, so you can squeeze in a regular.

Can guests change or cancel themselves?

Yes. The link in their confirmation lets them change the time or the number of people, or cancel. You are told straight away and the table goes back on sale.

Does it work with Google?

Yes. Add your booking link to your Google Business Profile and people who find you on Google Search or Maps can book from there. There is no fee for those bookings.

Is there a floor plan or table numbers?

No. GetSeated manages how many people you seat and when, not which table they sit at. For most independents that is enough; if you need table-by-table seating, a larger system will suit you better.
