How it works

Online booking in three steps

  1. Set your rules

    Your meals, tables and turn lengths decide which times are offered, with your own limits on party size and notice.

  2. Share your booking link

    Put it on your website, in your Instagram bio, behind a Facebook Book now button or on a printed QR code. The link never changes.

  3. Bookings arrive in your diary

    Each one comes with a table allocated, and the guest gets a confirmation email straight away.

A booking page that only offers what you can seat

A time only appears when a table is free for the whole sitting, and it is held for the guest while they book.

Real availability

A time appears only if a table is free for the whole turn, and picking it holds the table for about 15 minutes while the guest finishes.

How times are worked out

On your own website

Paste two pieces of code and the full booking form sits on your own page, sized to fit and with no iframe. Or add a one-line Reserve a Table button.

Add it to your website

A table for every booking

NomNom picks the smallest free table that fits, single tables before joined ones, then the priorities you set.

Table management

Guests manage their booking

Turn on online changes and guests can move their time or party size on the same day, as long as a table is free.

Online changes

Dogs, high chairs and allergies

Offer dog-friendly tables to guests bringing a dog, never promise more high chairs than you have, and record allergies from your own list.
