Each booking is placed on its table, so the host sees who is booked where, and when, across every room.
In short: a booking written in a paper book does not tell the host where to seat the party. 4restaurants.net places each booking on the table it is for, per room and per time, with the number of covers noted. The floor plan shows which tables are reserved at each time, so a party of six is seated without guesswork. Bookings sit in the same application as the menu, table orders and stock, so front of house and the kitchen work from one record.
A paper book tells you that four people are coming at eight, but not which table to set for them. On 4restaurants.net each booking sits on the table the host chooses, with its time and covers. The plan follows the real layout of the room, so the host sees at a glance which tables are taken for each service.
Each booking carries its covers, its time and its table, so the host can see which table a group is booked on. Deciding who sits where stays with your team. The day's list is built from the same records, and bookings for future dates stay on the same floor plan.
Tables can be grouped by room, such as the dining room, the terrace or the bar, and each room shows its own tables on the plan. A party of ten for a birthday is placed like any other booking, with its covers and time visible, so it shows on the plan and on the day's list.
4restaurants.net can text guests a confirmation if you connect your own 4notify account (Plus plan and above); otherwise confirmations go out from your own phone or inbox. Names and phone numbers in a booking are personal information under the Privacy Act 2020, so keep only the details you need.

4restaurants.net places each reservation on the real floor plan, with the party size and time for every table.
We are transparent — here is where 4restaurants.net is not (yet) the best fit:
A fit for restaurants that want bookings kept on a floor plan rather than in a diary, and that want group bookings in one place. If the venue does not take reservations, the module is mainly useful for the floor plan itself.

4restaurants.net brings into a single platform table reservations on the floor plan, the digital menu with recipes and food cost, table orders sent to the kitchen, ingredient stock levels and sales reports.
The reservation is entered in the platform, on the table where the party sits, with the party size and time. It appears on the floor plan.
From the recipe. You enter the ingredients with portion weights, and the platform calculates the production cost (food cost) of the dish from the ingredients and quantities in the recipe.
Yes. The server enters it at the table, and the order reaches the kitchen from the platform, with its items and the table it came from.
No. The platform is used alongside the restaurant’s own cash register: it gives a non-fiscal table bill, and the fiscal receipt stays on the cash register.
Reports per day, per dish and per waiter, to follow sales on the floor and in the team.
Yes, 4restaurants.net is part of the 4b2b ecosystem but works as a standalone product; other ecosystem products, such as 4invoices or 4notify, are separate.
