Frequently asked questions
How do we stop 'drinks tables' blocking our Sunday Roast revenue?
Our intelligent pacing allows you to set different durations for different booking types. You can offer 60-minute slots for drinks and 120-minute slots for dining, ensuring your floor is always optimised for maximum yield.
Can TableSense help us manage our Pub Quiz and ticketed events?
Absolutely. You can create specific event types with their own capacities and booking links, allowing you to sell tickets or take deposits specifically for your quiz nights or seasonal takeovers.
We have a lot of large corporate enquiries—how is this handled?
You can set a 'Large Party Threshold.' Any booking over your limit (e.g., 10 people) is automatically routed to an enquiry form, allowing you to manage the details personally before confirming and taking a deposit.
Does the pre-order system work for Sunday lunches?
Yes. It’s a massive growth driver for our gastropub partners. Guests can select their roast options at the point of booking, which simplifies kitchen prep and ensures your service remains calm and efficient.
We're an independent pub, will this feel too 'corporate' for our guests?
Never. Your Venue Showcase is designed to be a digital extension of your bar. We stay in the background, ensuring your brand and your vibe are what the guest sees, from the first click to the final bill.
