Direct online reservations,
commission-free
Your customers book from the Plathea app and from your restaurant's website. You manage everything from one list, with table, room and menu already connected. No marketplace in between, no per-cover commission.
A phone ringing during service is not a reservation system
Between missed calls, paper diaries and marketplaces that take a commission on every cover, managing reservations by hand costs time and customers. Plathea gives you a direct channel that you own: reservations arrive already organised, connected to the room and the menu.
From the customer to the room, all connected
For others reservations are the whole company. For Plathea they're a feature.
There are tools that do only reservations and build the entire business on top, then painfully add menu, customers and marketing as external modules. In Plathea reservations are born inside a complete management system: connected to room, menu, food cost, CRM and website. Not an add-on to integrate — part of the same system.
A feature, inside a complete system
| Reservations-only software | Plathea | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | App dedicated to reservations | Complete restaurant management system |
| Form on the site | Standard widget to paste in | Bespoke website, branded form |
| CRM and marketing | Separate module or absent | Native: GDPR contacts, followers, push promos |
| Reservations connected to | Only themselves | Menu, room, food cost, website |
| Result | Another software to manage | One single system |
From reservation to loyalty, in one system
A reservation isn't the end: it's the start of a relationship with the customer. Here's what Plathea does that a reservations-only tool can't.
A reservations-only tool stops at the first step. Plathea closes the loop.
No widget: the booking form is your site
Others give you a standard widget to paste onto the site: colours and style that clash with your brand, a foreign body on your page. Plathea builds your restaurant's whole website to measure, and the booking form is customised with your font, your colours, your brand. Not an external component — it's part of the site.
And you control it all from the app: turn the form on or off, show or hide the room map, set how many covers customers can book on their own from the site. To book from the site the customer doesn't need to sign up to any app.
Don't have a website yet? You're online from day one anyway: every restaurant on Plathea already has its public page in the network — with photos, menu and information, visible even without login. Reservations from the app are active from day one for registered users.
Direct reservations, zero per-cover commissions
With booking marketplaces you pay a commission on every cover and the customer data stays theirs. With Plathea the channel is yours: no per-cover commission, reservations arrive from your brand and the relationship with the customer stays yours.
And reservations are only the beginning
Digital menu, food cost, inventory, website, staff, marketing, analytics: Plathea is your restaurant's all-in-one management system. Reservations are one of its functions, already connected to everything else.
Reservations aren't an island
Every reservation is linked to the room map, the covers and — if you want — a menu. The same reservation lives in the list and in the calendar, and the restaurant's website is part of the same system. One single dataset, consistent everywhere.
Online reservations from the app are included in every Plathea plan, from Essential at €50/month. The manual confirmation email to the customer is available from the Business plan. Before the plans, the restaurant profile is free and never expires: the public page with details, menu, opening hours and photos asks for no credit card.
