The guest has reserved. The table knows it.

A reservation is not a separate agenda next to the service. Time, party size, and table belong to the same order.

ALLRECA keeps reservations in the restaurant environment. The host sees who is coming, which table is free and what is already running. The online widget writes to the same environment; the reservation stays alongside the table and the service.

Illustrative host display. No current reservations or guest data.

From reservation to table, without a second list.

The host does not work from an export or a paper list. The reservation, the table status and the running order sit side by side. That way the question "is this table free?" is not something someone has to look up separately.

The host flow rechecks availability at the moment of booking. A reserved table is not blindly assigned.

  1. 01

    Reservering staat klaar

    Tijd, gezelschap, notitie en tafelvoorkeur staan bij elkaar. De host ziet wat vandaag verwacht wordt.

  2. 02

    Gast arriveert

    The host opens the reservation and sees the available tables in the business. A walk-in can go on the waitlist.

  3. 03

    Tafel wordt gekoppeld

    The chosen table is linked to the reservation. The table status goes into the service with it.

  4. 04

    Service takes over

    Order, table and reservation stay linked. After departure the table becomes available again.

Three places, one reservation.

The guest sees a widget. The host sees the arrival. The manager sees the overview and the trend. All three refer to the same reservation.

01

Reservation overview

List and detail with date, time, party size, status and table. Filter by status or date; view the reservation without losing the context of the business. The trend view shows demand per period.

Date · time · party size · status · table

02

Host and waitlist

Expected arrivals, free tables, seats, no-shows and waitlist. The host sees the dining room as it is at that moment.

Arrival · seating · no-show · waitlist

03

Booking widget and settings

A widget on your own website with availability, party size and optionally a deposit. Settings determine the window, duration, party size and deposit rules.

Widget · availability · deposit · window

The widget is an entrance, not a second booking product.

The guest chooses a day, time and party size. The widget only shows what the business offers and writes the reservation back to the restaurant environment. The host then sees it in the same list.

A deposit is optional and runs via the configured payment provider. Without that configuration the reservation remains a regular reservation.

The widget is meant for the business's own website. It is not a public booking platform where multiple restaurants appear together.

Availability according to the business · demo

A reservation is only done when the service knows it.

The reservation does not live alongside the rest of the business. It determines which table must remain free, which guest is seated and which order starts next.

Table layout

Tables, zones, and statuses are in the same room. The host sees the reservation reflected in the floor plan.

To Table Layout

Mobile ordering

Once the guest is seated, ordering at the table can begin. The reservation remains the context of the table.

To Mobile Ordering

Restaurant management

Tables, zones, and opening hours are the basis for availability. The host sees them in the same venue.

To Restaurant Management

For businesses where the arrival is part of the service.

Restaurant with fixed shifts

The reservation list determines the expected busyness. The host keeps tables free and service knows which guests are coming.

Café with walk-ins

Reservations and the waiting list sit side by side. A free table is visible before the next guest arrives.

Business with terrace or multiple zones

The host chooses the zone that fits at that moment. The reservation stays linked to the chosen table, not to a loose list.

The booking button is on your site. The reservation comes into the same restaurant environment.

The business environment contains its own integration screen for the website. There you create an embed code that is pasted once into WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow or another site — no plugin needed. The button is configurable: text or icon, position, size, colour and corner radius.

ALLRECA checks availability against the tables and existing reservations of that location. A change to the button takes effect immediately; the embed code stays the same. With the availability check you can check a date and party size without a booking being created.

The guest stays on your domain and books there. The reservation then appears in the same overview as walk-ins and phone bookings — not in a separate calendar or a standalone booking system.

The guest, the table and the origin in one row.

In the business environment, the reservations overview shows date, party size, table, payment status and source. The source column shows whether a booking came in via the website widget, an account or another channel.

The status filters cover the entire lifecycle: pending, awaiting payment, confirmed, seated, completed, no-show and cancelled. The trend view shows demand per period; the host flow remains the place where the guest is seated.

From booking to a filled table.

Every reservation has its own detail: guest, party size, time, table or zone and the status. The host sees here whether a booking is confirmed, on the waitlist or converted.

The same reservation can be found in the schedule, on the table in the floor plan and in the reporting. There is no separate “reservation admin” that gets out of sync.

What this is and is not.

Reservations belong to the restaurant environment. This page describes the components that exist today: the overview, the host flow, the widget, the settings and the trends.

  • However: manage reservations within the business, let the host place them and use the widget on your own site.
  • Not: a standalone booking platform, a public marketplace or a guest portal in which the guest changes and cancels themselves.
  • Not: automatic import of reservations from external platforms.
