Check Today's Bookings on Your Phone From Another Restaurant
To check today’s bookings at several restaurants without calling each one, keep every restaurant’s reservation book on one phone. In Rezabo, the restaurant list shows today’s party count and guest count for each restaurant, and tapping a restaurant opens its book.
The list shows today’s party count and guest count
Each restaurant has one row.
The numbers cover the whole day. Lunch bookings and bookings already finished are included. Cancelled bookings are not.
To see how many parties come at what time, open the restaurant. The book shows, table by table, which hours are taken.
What the list does not tell you
The list gives counts and nothing more. It does not show:
- Times, tables or guest names. Open the restaurant’s book for those.
- How busy the room is right now, how the kitchen is keeping up, or whether the floor has enough staff. The book does not show these either.
- Bookings nobody has entered.
A screen left open may not show bookings entered on another device on its own. Open it again when you want to check.
Staff entry is what makes the numbers true
The numbers are only what staff entered. Your staff type in the bookings they take by phone and LINE.
A booking written in a notebook, or taken but not yet entered, is not counted. If you plan to check from your phone, make it a house rule to enter each booking as soon as it comes in.
A paper book and a phone call also work
If you only need to check bookings, you can call the restaurant and ask. A paper book has no software cost either.
I run three restaurants in Bangkok, and the izakaya used a paper book. We printed Excel sheets one week at a time, and when a booking came in for next month, we wrote it on a calendar to copy over later. The operating company’s registration number and address are on the About page.
The problem was not knowing what was happening at each restaurant. With three of them, I want to be at the one that is busy. But I could not know how many bookings each had without calling to ask.
If that does not bother you, your current way is fine.
When a call to the manager is still the better choice
Call when you need something the book does not show. The book does not replace the phone.
- You want to know how busy the room is, or whether the floor has enough staff
- You want to check whether any bookings are still waiting to be entered
- You want to know about walk-ins (they are not counted unless someone enters them)
- You need the restaurant to do something urgently
Pricing is per restaurant: 3 restaurants cost 5,700 THB per month + VAT
Each restaurant costs 1,900 THB per month or 19,000 THB per year (paid at once), both excluding VAT. There is no setup fee or referral fee.
You can try it free for 1 month, with no card and no automatic charge.
The demo’s restaurant list does not show the counts yet. To see them, look at the screen image above.
What Rezabo does not do
Rezabo is a reservation book for restaurant staff. It does not have:
- Online booking by guests
- Automated reminders or confirmations, including LINE notifications
- Deposits or prepayment
- POS sync
- Data export
If you need these, Rezabo is not a fit. See how TableCheck and Tabelog differ.
FAQ
Do the numbers on the list cover dinner only?
No. They cover the whole day, including lunch. Cancelled bookings are not counted. Open the restaurant to see the times.
What happens if staff forget to enter a booking?
It does not appear in the list numbers or in the book. What you see on your phone is only what staff entered.
How does the price change when I add a restaurant?
Pricing is per restaurant. Each one adds 1,900 THB per month, excluding VAT. The price does not change with the number of bookings.
Can I see a regular’s record across my restaurants?
Yes. Guest records and notes are shared across your restaurants. You read them on the customer screen.
Does adding devices raise the price?
No. Rezabo runs in a browser.
