Table Reservation & Waitlist System for Restaurants

A booking and waitlist platform built by CYBEX IT Solutions to fill tables, cut no-shows, and give front-of-house staff one clear view of every reservation, walk-in, and open seat — across one restaurant or many.

Who This System Is Built For

The platform suits fine dining, casual and fast-casual restaurants, gastropubs, hotel restaurants, cafés with peak-hour queues, and multi-site restaurant groups. Any venue juggling phone bookings, walk-ins, and online demand benefits from a single coordinated system.

Common Operational Problems It Solves

Double bookings and phone-line bottlenecks during peak hours
No-shows and last-minute cancellations with no financial protection
Disorganised walk-in queues and inaccurate wait-time estimates
No visibility into guest history, allergies, or seating preferences
Fragmented data across locations, spreadsheets, and paper books

Core Features

How It Works: The Six-Step Workflow

Discover: guest books via website, social, or phone.
Confirm: system checks live availability and confirms instantly.
Remind: automated messages reduce no-shows before arrival.
Seat: staff assign tables using the floor plan view.
Manage: walk-ins join a digital waitlist with wait estimates.
Review: reports reveal trends to refine staffing and turnover.

Integrations

Where requirements and API access allow, the system can connect with your restaurant POS, website, Google Business booking, email, SMS, WhatsApp, CRM tools, payment gateways, and accounting or BI platforms. It can also work alongside a broader Online Ordering & Delivery Integration Platform or an AI Reservation & Ordering Assistant as part of a wider Restaurant IT & AI Solutions strategy. Exact integrations depend on your existing systems and provider APIs.

Security and Privacy

Guest data is handled with encryption in transit, access controls, and role-based permissions. CYBEX designs bookings systems with GDPR-supporting practices such as data minimisation and consent handling, though outcomes depend on your operational policies and configuration.
