Marcel Staal, October 2026
Overview
Three parts in one system
Staff
A back office for today's bookings, the table plan, guests and settings.
Guests
A booking page that works on any phone and can sit on the restaurant's own website.
The Shopbox till
Sign in with your Shopbox login and bring in the table plan from the till.

Bookings
Today's bookings
Three views
See the evening as a list, a timeline or a table plan.
Quick actions
Seat guests, finish the table or mark them as a no-show.
Phone bookings and walk-ins
The system finds a free table by itself.

Table plan
Move guests between tables
The whole room at a glance
Busy tables are coloured, free ones stay white.
Drag to move
Drag a booking to another table. If that table is taken, the move is refused.
Every room
Switch between the dining room, the terrace and other rooms.

Floor plan
Lay out the room
Drag and drop
Place round and square tables where they really stand.
Bar and pillars
So staff can find "the table by the bar".
Fill order
Choose which tables fill first, and which can be pushed together.
Import from Shopbox
If the restaurant has a table plan in the till, it can be brought in.
Online booking
Guests book for themselves
Step by step
Party size, date, room, time and name.
Confirmation by e-mail
With calendar links, and guests can cancel themselves.
On the restaurant's website
As a link, a button or right on the page. In Danish, Norwegian and English.

Waiting list 1/2
When the evening is full
A waiting list instead of a no
When a guest taps a taken time, they can join the waiting list.
Their own window
The guest picks the times that would suit them.
7
Waiting list 2/2
When a table frees up
Everyone hears at once
Everyone on the waiting list gets an e-mail straight away.
The table is held
For 30 minutes only people from the waiting list can take it.
First come, first served
The first to answer gets the table.
