Who it’s for

Built for the way your venue runs service.

Every venue fills tables differently. Here’s how restaurants, pubs, cafés, bars, hotels and groups use Orbis Table.

Restaurant dining room with leather booths and wooden tables

01 · Restaurants

For restaurants that care about every table.

Whether you run a 30-cover neighbourhood bistro or a fine dining room with a tasting menu, the job is the same: fill the room, pace the kitchen and make every guest feel expected.

Orbis Table handles the diary and the floor plan so your team can focus on hospitality, and deposits and reminders protect the services where a no-show really hurts.

  • Automatic table assignment that keeps two-tops off your six-seater
  • Pacing that spreads arrivals across the evening
  • Allergy and occasion notes on every booking
  • Experiences for tasting menus and special dinners

02 · Pubs & gastropubs

For pubs where bookings and walk-ins share the floor.

A good pub runs on both: booked tables for Sunday lunch and Friday dinner, and a bar full of people who just turned up. Orbis Table lets you manage both in one place without turning anyone away who didn’t need to be.

Seat walk-ins straight from the floor plan, run a proper waitlist on busy nights, and take deposits for big parties and Christmas bookings.

  • Separate areas for the restaurant, bar and beer garden
  • A walk-in queue with automatic text offers
  • Deposits for large groups and seasonal menus
  • Simple enough for every member of the team

03 · Cafés & brunch spots

For cafés that turn tables all morning.

Brunch is fast. Short slots, high turnover and a weekend queue out the door. Orbis Table keeps the bookings tight and the queue moving, without making regulars feel like a number.

Set short booking durations, let guests book online the night before, and fill gaps from the waitlist as tables turn.

  • Short booking durations for quick turns
  • Online booking for weekend brunch
  • A waitlist that fills gaps as tables free up
  • Affordable plans for smaller teams

Features you’ll use most

Smaller cafés often start on Basic and move to Standard for the waitlist. Compare plans

04 · Bars & cocktail lounges

For bars that book areas, not just tables.

Booths, high tables, the mezzanine, the whole venue for a launch party. Bars sell space and time, and that’s how Orbis Table lets you set them up.

Take deposits on busy nights, manage late-night walk-ins, and send events to guests who have asked to hear about them.

  • Rooms and areas for booths, terraces and private spaces
  • Deposits for weekend and event bookings
  • Ticketed events and masterclasses as experiences
  • Email and SMS campaigns to promote events

Bars running events get the most from Pro, with experiences and campaigns. Compare plans

05 · Hotel restaurants

For hotel restaurants serving residents and locals.

A hotel restaurant has two audiences: residents who expect a table, and locals you want coming back. Orbis Table gives your team one view of both, with notes so the restaurant knows who’s staying in the hotel.

Run breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner as separate services, each with its own rules and capacity.

  • Separate services for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner
  • Guest notes and tags for residents
  • Private dining and event enquiries in a pipeline
  • Reports across every service

Features you’ll use most

Hotels typically choose Pro for private hire and 360° guest profiles. Compare plans

06 · Restaurant groups

For groups running more than one venue.

As you grow, the last thing you want is a different system and a different login in every site. Orbis Table runs multiple venues from one account, with each site keeping its own floor plan, services and branding.

Switch between sites in a click, keep each venue’s guests and data separate, and give managers access to exactly the sites they run.

  • Multiple venues under one login and one subscription
  • Each venue keeps its own floor plan, services and branding
  • Roles and permissions per venue
  • White-label booking pages and an API for your own systems

Features you’ll use most

Multi-venue groups and white-label are part of the Pro plan. Compare plans
