Real-room availability
Only times your tables, combinations, turn times, pacing, and last seating can actually support appear online.
Online booking
Offer only the times the room can support.
A branded booking page backed by table fit, combinations, turn times by party size, pacing, cutoffs, and the floorplan scheduled for that date.
The guest sees simplicity. The availability engine handles the complexity.
Hostbook checks the real service model before a time appears online, and staff receive complete requests without re-entering the details that matter.
An online waitlist that fills gaps
When a time is full, guests can join an online waitlist that books them into the first opening automatically, then tells them it's booked.
Pacing without blunt closures
Cap covers per 30 minutes, pause single slots or whole services, add blackout dates, and adjust tonight without rewriting the rules.
A complete confirmation journey
Email confirmations on every booking, plus push notifications or text messages for guests who opt in. Guests change or cancel from their link.
Built for service
A straightforward booking experience before the guest reaches the door.
Hostbook keeps operational detail behind a clear interface, so staff can focus on the guest and the room.
