Description

Porchlight serves as a cloud-based platform tailored for the booking and management needs of independent pubs, restaurants, and cafés. Featuring an AI phone assistant named Thomas, it efficiently manages incoming calls and schedules reservations based on real-time availability, forwarding any unmanageable requests to staff for follow-up. All booking channels, including phone, website, and Google, are consolidated into a single venue diary equipped with a comprehensive floor plan. Additionally, the staff app integrates various functionalities such as rota management, clock-in systems, payroll tracking, tips management, and food safety inspections, providing a centralized tool for venues to oversee bookings and daily staff operations. This service is specifically designed to assist independent hospitality establishments in the UK, ensuring they can effectively manage reservations during peak service hours as well as outside of operating hours. With Porchlight, venues can optimize their operations and enhance customer service.

Description

TableLink handles reservations, waitlist and floor plan for independent, full service restaurants and small groups. It runs on a real time floor plan with table joins and saved layouts. Reservations come through a branded online booking page, and live availability is also exposed through an MCP server, so it is bookable directly inside ChatGPT and Claude. An iPad kiosk covers guest check in and the waitlist. A guest CRM keeps visit history and a reliability score per phone number, and SMS plus email confirmations and reminders go out automatically, with SMS covering the US and Canada. New: guest deposits and card on file holds, on Pro plans and above, with rules by party size, day, holiday and date range, and a host can waive one and note why. Local Team Sync keeps the iPads and phones at a restaurant synced with each other, so the floor plan and check ins keep working through an internet outage. Staff sign in with their own PIN by role: Host, Floor Lead or Manager. Restaurant groups get a multi location dashboard. TableLink runs on iPad, iPhone and the web, with one flat monthly price. No per-cover fees, no booking commissions, no contracts. Plans start at $10 a month billed annually or $13 month to month, with a 14 day free trial. Card required, nothing charged during the trial.
