Built for cafés

Bookings that fit a busy café

Most café trade walks in. NomNom takes the bookings that come ahead without filling the room.

No table plan needed

Switch on Don’t assign tables online and set a daily online guest limit. Your team seats each booking when the guests arrive.

Bookings without tables

Room for walk-ins

Cap online guests per day, per booking time, or across the whole venue at one time. Whatever you hold back stays free for people who walk in.

Capping guests

Short visits

A meal’s turn length can be as short as 30 minutes, so a coffee-and-cake booking does not hold a table all afternoon.

Turn lengths

No last-minute surprises

Stop online bookings that start within the next 15 minutes to 24 hours, so the lunch rush is not interrupted.

No bookings within

Gift vouchers, online and at the till

Sell vouchers from your own page around the clock, or in person with no NomNom fee.

Keep it simple

Set limits, not a floor plan

Every limit applies to online bookings only. Your team can still book anyone in.

  • Guest limit: per meal and area, per day
  • Per booking time: a maximum for each time you offer
  • Whole venue: a cap on guests at one time across every area
  • Turn length: from 30 minutes
  • High chairs: guests ask when they book
  • Dogs: welcome, with a limit if you want one
Smart, hospitality-minded software with premium features and a price that makes sense — bookings run smoother than ever.
