A booking page in your branding
Your logo, your colours, and a photo of the room behind the booking card if you want one. Guests choose party size, date and time in their browser. No app and no account.
Restaurant booking system
A restaurant booking system with no per-cover fees
A booking page in your branding, availability worked out from your real tables, a timeline and floor map for the night, a waitlist that emails guests for you and reminders that go out on their own. One flat monthly price, however busy you get.
What it does
Everything between the booking and the chair
A restaurant booking system takes reservations online, decides which times you can really offer, puts each booking on a table and keeps the guest informed until they sit down. Manjelier’s restaurant reservation system does all of that from one dashboard, built around the floor plan of your room rather than a generic grid.
It is sold on its own as Manjelier Table, and it is the same booking system inside Manjelier Pro and Manjelier Business, where an AI waiter looks after guests once they are seated.

Features
Table booking software that knows your room
Fifteen things it does on a normal Friday, all live today.
Availability from your real tables
Smart mode offers a time only when a table that fits the party is free for the whole stay, plus the minutes you keep aside to clear and reset it. No more selling the same four-top twice.
A simple mode for bars and counters
If you seat by shift rather than by table, switch to Simple mode: each half hour takes guests until your arrivals limit fills. Switch back whenever you like; existing bookings keep their table.
One click to accept, or automatic
Each request lands in your inbox with Accept and Decline buttons. Or turn on automatic confirmation, and let the busiest half hours still come in as pending so you control the peak.
A day timeline you drag bookings across
One row per table, one bar per booking. Drag to another table or time and it snaps to the quarter hour. Drag the right edge to give a table longer. Works with a mouse or a finger on a tablet.
A floor map that is your floor
Draw your zones, tables, bar and counters to match the real room, then see who is booked where tonight. Tables on the map are unlimited on every plan.
Smart auto-assign
New bookings get a table the moment they come in, best fit first, reshuffling small parties so a big table stays free for the group that needs it. Every assignment can be changed by hand.
A waitlist that emails guests for you
When you are full, guests join the waitlist. A cancellation, a no-show or a moved booking frees a table and the guests whose party now fits get an email, oldest first, up to three at a time.
Confirmation and reminder emails
Guests get an email when their booking is accepted and a reminder the day before, in your venue’s colours, with your contact details and a link to manage the booking.
Guests cancel or change it themselves
Inside the cancellation window you set, from none to 72 hours, guests cancel or ask for a new time from the link in their email. A change is a request: you accept it or keep the original.
No duplicate bookings
A double tap, a slow connection or pressing back and sending again does not create a second booking. The guest is shown the one they already made, and you get one request, not two.
Opening hours, special days, last seating
Weekly hours, one-off closures and events, the latest bookable time and how far ahead guests can book. Parties above your online maximum are asked to call.
A staff link for the door
Give the host stand its own link. Named waiters sign in with a PIN to check the book, add a walk-in or mark a table seated, without your dashboard login.
Pre-shift overview and reports
Before service: covers by half hour, big parties, guest notes and pending requests. After it: occupancy, covers and no-show rate over time, and CSV export of your booking history.
A widget for your own website
Paste one line into your site and a “Reserve a table” button opens your booking page in place, or float it in the corner.
How it works
From the booking to the table, in five steps
- 1
The guest books
From your website, Google profile or Instagram link. They pick a party size, a date and one of the times your tables can actually take.
- 2
You accept, or it confirms itself
Pending requests come to your inbox with one-click buttons. With automatic confirmation on, the guest is confirmed straight away.
- 3
The table is assigned
Auto-assign puts the booking on the best-fitting free table. It shows on the timeline and the floor map, where you can move it.
- 4
The day before, a reminder
The guest gets a reminder by email, with a link to cancel or ask for a change while your window is still open.
- 5
On the night
The host marks the table seated from the staff link. A cancellation or no-show frees the table and the waitlist hears about it.

How it compares with commission-based platforms
UK booking systems are priced in two main ways. Flat-fee tools charge a monthly subscription. Marketplace platforms usually add a fee for every diner who books through their own app or website, so the bill grows with your busiest months.
The arithmetic is simple: if a platform charges a fee per cover and 1,000 covers a month come through it, you pay that fee 1,000 times on top of the subscription. With Manjelier the price is £179 whether you seat 100 guests or 3,000. The honest trade-off is below.
| Feature | Manjelier | Typical per-cover marketplace |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | A flat monthly fee: £179 on its own, or included in Pro and Business | A monthly subscription plus a fee for each diner who books through the platform’s own app or site, on many plans |
| A busy month | Costs the same as a quiet one | Costs more, because network covers add up |
| Where guests book | Your own booking page, in your branding | Often inside a marketplace that also lists other restaurants nearby |
| Finding new diners | No diner marketplace: guests come from your website, Google, social and word of mouth | The marketplace can bring you diners who have never heard of you. That is what the cover fee pays for |
| Deposits and card guarantees | Not available today | Commonly offered |
| Reminders | Email the day before | Email, and SMS on many platforms |
| Contract | Month to month, no minimum term | Varies by provider and plan |
Switching
Moving from OpenTable, ResDiary, SevenRooms, TheFork or a paper book
Whatever you use today, the move is the same few steps, and nothing forces you to switch off the old system on day one. There is no automatic import from other platforms yet, so we are upfront about the one manual part: the bookings you already hold.

- 2Setup with usWe load your tables, zones and opening hours with you. Setup is £99 once per venue.
- 3Add the bookings you holdFuture bookings from the old system go in with Add reservation.

Beyond the booking
The same system can look after guests at the table
On Pro and Business the booking system comes with an AI waiter: a QR on each table opens a chat that knows your menu, asks about allergies first and answers in the guest's language. See how the AI waiter works.
