Frequently asked questions

How does this help us grow our repeat business?

By turning "anonymous diners" into rich data profiles. When you know a guest's favorite bottle or table, you aren't just serving them; you're building a relationship that guarantees their next visit.

Will this help us manage our peak-time revenue?

Absolutely. Our intelligent pacing rules ensure you never overbook your kitchen, while our secure deposits ensure your most valuable Saturday night slots are always filled with committed guests.

How does TableSense handle special events like wine tastings or kitchen takeovers?

We make high-margin events effortless to run. You can create dedicated booking links for specific dates, set unique prepayments, and even "pin" the event to your Venue Showcase to drive maximum visibility and growth.

What kind of support can we expect during a busy service?

You get a dedicated WhatsApp concierge group for your venue. Unlike legacy platforms with slow ticket queues, you have our team on speed-dial for instant help with system tweaks or guest arrangements when it matters most.

Can we maintain our independent brand "vibe"?

TableSense is built to stay in the background. From your dedicated Venue Showcase to the tone of your automated emails, we ensure your brand remains front and center—never ours.
