Deposits or card holds? How to stop no-shows without scaring off guests

Why SMS reminders pay for themselves
A pack of 100 text reminders costs £6. If just one of them turns a no-show into a guest who walks in — or a phone call that frees the table in time to re-sell it — it has already paid for itself several times over. Here's the maths.
What's coming in v1.0.3
v1.0.3 has been months in the making, and it's landing in the next few days — a new floor plan designer, voucher sales, one-tap card authorisation, popup notes for the team, and a long list of smaller improvements. Here's a sneak peek.
New feature: gift vouchers
Sell branded gift vouchers from your booking page, redeem them at the table with a QR scan, and keep more of what they pay — no setup fee, no monthly cost, no fee on unsold vouchers.
Quick table actions: move, unallocate, and swap in a tap
Reshuffling reservations no longer means digging into the details screen. Tap or swipe a booking to move, unallocate, or swap tables right from the list.
