What a host stand should do, and what ResDiary does today
Seat a table and its tab opens on the till. Close the bill and the spend lands on the guest's profile.
Needs a £10/mo POS add-on plus a partner integration (e.g. Zonal Full Integration) with table numbers matched on both systems. source ↗
A live floor plan: every table's timer, course and next booking at once.
The table plan shows one time slot at a time. Staff click an interval to scrub through it. source ↗
Every status visible together. Allergy, VIP, deposit and occasion sit on the booking itself.
One colour scheme at a time (arrival or payment or confirmation…), with the legend behind the L key. source ↗
No-show? One tap keeps the deposit or charges the card guarantee.
Manual: Payments, Charge Card, amount, Charge, Save, then cancel with a reason. It never charges automatically. source ↗
Waitlist quotes a wait from the live floor and texts the guest when a table frees.
W8List is today only, with no quoted wait. Texting needs the £10/mo SMS add-on. source ↗
New booking opens in a side drawer. Type two letters and the guest is recognised: visits, spend, allergies.
The booking form opens in a browser pop-up. They publish a help article on disabling pop-up blockers. source ↗
Right-click any booking: move table, change time, party, occasion, text the guest. Every change has an Undo.
Reassigning a table means opening the arrival list, clicking the table icon, removing the old one, picking a new one, then confirming. source ↗
Cakes, fizz and cocktail rounds pre-sold inside the booking flow.
Pre-orders and Event Manager are £35/mo add-ons each. source ↗
ResDiary lists £109 to £295 a month by booking volume, plus £99 setup, £10–£35 add-ons and a 1.2% surcharge on deposits (pricing). Rated 2.1/5 on Trustpilot from 103 reviews (Trustpilot), checked 12 Oct 2026.
Demo build. Ember, Hearth & Vine and every guest name are invented. Texts, card charges and till tabs are simulated on screen. Built by Glasgow GFX.
