One invitation. Everyone at the table.

A group dinner starts long before the door opens. Let one guest book, invite the others and bring everyone’s choices into the same reservation. Preorders, guest details and the selected table stay connected, giving your team a head start on the visit.

Make the experience better

One person books for everyone. The guest list changes in a chat, dishes are discussed somewhere else, and the restaurant sees only a time and a party size.

What your restaurant gains

Great group visits start before arrival.

01

Bring the whole group into the booking

Friends join through a shared invitation and choose for themselves. The host keeps control of who joins the reservation.

02

Give service a head start

See preorders alongside the booking, so the team can prepare for the group’s choices before the guests take their seats.

03

Keep plans clear as they change

Guest details, table preferences and orders stay with the reservation. Your team manages arrivals, walk-ins and seating from one view.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Can every friend choose their own dishes?

Yes. Friends join the reservation from the shared invitation and add their own preorders. Their choices stay connected to the same booking.

Who controls who joins the reservation?

The host approves invited guests and manages the group, so the reservation stays with the people who belong to it.

Can we manage our own booking rules?

Yes. Set weekly hours, notice, advance booking windows, party sizes and minimum spend. Add walk-ins, manage seating and pause online booking from your restaurant tools.
