Reservations that seat themselves

Guests pick a party size, a date and a time on your own reservation page. GrabChair assigns the tables, joins them for bigger groups, and gives your host a live floor map for arrivals, walk-ins and no-shows.

Guests pick a party size, a date and a time. Tables are assigned for them, joined when a group needs it, and your host runs the room from a live floor map.

Guests book themselves

They pick a party size, a date and a time; a table is assigned automatically and joined with another when the group needs it. Confirmations and reminders go out on their own.

The host stand keeps up

Walk-ins land on a free table in one tap, arrivals are checked in as guests come through the door, and the live floor map shows the whole room at a glance.

The host stand, live

Your floor on one screen

Draw your room once, and the front desk sees every table's state as it changes. It runs in the browser on whatever the host stand already has; nothing to install.

  • Tap a table to seat a walk-in, mark the party as arrived or free the table early
  • Colors tell the story at a glance: free, reserved soon, seated, blocked
  • Joined tables show linked, so pushed-together reservations are obvious
  • Freeing a table early reopens the rest of its evening for new reservations
  • Big room? The host list keeps 40 tables readable: arrivals due, late parties flagged, no-show one tap away

From booking to freed table, automatically

A guest books for four, GrabChair assigns the table, the host taps Guests arrived, and freeing the table reopens the rest of the evening. All on its own.

1

Create your page

Enter your restaurant's name. Your reservation page is reserved at yourname.grabchair.com, taking bookings by party size from day one.

2

Set hours and tables

Add your tables and their seats, let the wizard join neighbouring tables for bigger parties, and set your hours and reservation length.

3

Share your link

Put the link in your Instagram bio, Google profile or website. Bookings, confirmations and reminders start flowing.

Everything included

Run your whole book, not just a calendar

GrabChair covers the counter, the back room and your customers' pockets.

A reservation page by party size

Guests pick how many people, a date and a time on your own page. No calls, no double-booking.

Tables assigned and joined automatically

You decide which tables may be pushed together; GrabChair seats every party on the best fit.

A live floor map

Draw your room once and the host stand shows every table free, reserved, seated or blocked, in real time.

Walk-ins, arrivals and no-shows

Tap a table to seat a walk-in or mark guests arrived; late parties are flagged and no-show is one tap.

Automatic confirmations and reminders

Guests confirm, change and cancel from their email. Reminders cut the empty tables.

Deposits for big parties

Take a card deposit per reservation, optionally only for parties of N or more. Refunded automatically when they cancel in time.

Front desk mode

A reception view that stays signed in at the stand and follows your restaurant's day, not the device clock.

Covers analytics

Busiest hours by guests, punctuality, time seated and table usage, so you staff the right nights.

A full audit trail

Every change to every reservation is recorded with who did it, when and how.

Get paid when they book

Deposits, prepayment and tips, if you want them

Online payments are optional and take five minutes to switch on. Customers pay by card on a secure Stripe page and the money lands in your own Stripe account, never ours.

A deposit per reservation

A flat amount you choose, optionally only for parties of N or more. Small amounts book free.

Refunds on autopilot

Cancel inside your window and the card is refunded in full automatically. Late cancellations and no-shows keep the deposit for you.

Straight to your own Stripe account

The money settles in your restaurant's Stripe account. GrabChair never holds your funds.

No commissions, no surprises

One all-in card fee shown before you turn anything on. Walk-ins and cash never cost a cent.

Set it up from your Billing page: connect Stripe, pick deposit or full payment, done. Your booking page explains the deposit to customers before they book.

FAQ

Questions, answered

You tell GrabChair once which tables may be pushed together. When a party of six books and no single table fits, the system seats them on an allowed combination automatically, and your floor map shows the tables linked.
