We have some news we are very proud of: NomNom has been named a finalist in the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards, in the Hospitality Technology Innovation category.
The RTIH Innovation Awards are run by Retail Technology Innovation Hub and recognise technology that changes how retail and hospitality businesses work. This year they added a category for technology that changes how bars, restaurants and hotels run, and NomNom is on its shortlist.
What happens next
The shortlisted entries now go to RTIH's independent judging panel, made up of senior people from well-known retail and leisure businesses. The winners and highly commended entries are announced at the awards ceremony at The HAC in London on Wednesday 4 November. We will share the result here as soon as we know it.
Why it matters to the venues we work with
NomNom is built in Cornwall by a small team, for independent restaurants, pubs and cafés. Being shortlisted means people outside our own customers have looked closely at what NomNom does and judged it worth putting forward alongside the rest of the year's hospitality technology.
For a venue owner choosing a booking system, that is a useful second opinion. It is also a reminder that you do not need a large platform, a per-cover commission or a long contract to get a booking system that stands up to that kind of scrutiny.
What NomNom does
- Online bookings with no per-cover commission, taken from your own website and social media.
- Deposits and card holds to cut no-shows, paid straight into your own Stripe account.
- Text and email reminders, so guests remember, and can change or cancel from a link instead of simply not turning up.
- A live diary and table plan in the browser with NomNom Web, plus the iOS and Android apps for when you are away from the desk.
- Gift vouchers sold from your own booking page.
NomNom is £29.99 a month per venue, plus VAT, with SMS credits bought separately. There is no setup fee and no contract, and you can try it free for 14 days.
Thank you
The biggest thank you goes to the venues that run their bookings on NomNom every day. Almost everything in it started as a conversation with one of you about what would make service run better, and this shortlisting is as much yours as ours.
Fingers crossed for 4 November.
