Deposits and reminders that cut no-shows
An empty table on a Saturday is money you do not get back. Ask for a deposit when it matters and remind every guest before they arrive.
Deposits and card holds
Take a deposit, hold a card against no-shows, or skip it, for every booking or only for big parties and busy nights. Payments go to your own Stripe account, with no NomNom fee.
Deposits and card holdsApple Pay and Google Pay
Guests pay a deposit with a thumbprint instead of typing a card number. Wallet payments are on by default, with no extra setup.
SMS and email reminders
Automatic reminders before each booking, by text or email, so fewer guests forget and more cancel in time for you to resell the table. SMS uses pay-as-you-go credits.
SMS remindersGift vouchers
Sell branded gift vouchers from your booking page. Customers buy online and recipients redeem at the table, in full or in part, tracked as they go.

Frequently asked questions
What does a restaurant booking system do?
A restaurant booking system keeps your reservations in one diary, takes bookings online around the clock, sends confirmations and reminders, and helps you seat each service. NomNom also takes deposits, sells gift vouchers and asks guests for reviews.
Does NomNom work on a computer as well as a phone?
Yes. NomNom Web runs the whole system in any browser on a Mac, Windows PC or Chromebook, with nothing to install. The iOS and Android apps are included for when you are away from the desk.
Can guests book a table from Google?
Yes. With Reserve with Google, diners book a real table from your Google Search or Maps listing, and the booking lands in your diary with no commission.
Can I take deposits to cut no-shows?
Yes. Take a deposit or hold a card through Stripe, for every booking or only for large parties and busy nights. Guests can pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Does NomNom connect to my EPOS or till?
NomNom has a documented developer API that EPOS and till suppliers use to read today's covers and add walk-ins. See integrations for what it connects to.
