Tables HQ is the first restaurant management system designed specifically around the tasting menu — orchestrating every moment of service with a flat subscription and no per-cover fees. No commissions on booking deposits or online takeaway. At 70 covers, that alone saves most restaurants £1,000–£2,000 every month.
From the moment a guest books to the moment they leave, Tables HQ keeps your whole team in perfect sync.
Designed specifically around the tasting menu workflow — not bolted onto a generic retail POS. Manage multi-course menus with per-course wine pairings. Staff can assign tasting menus to all seats in one tap or split courses per-guest, distributing price evenly. A course can hold one dish or several — a banquet's “to follow” of five dishes served together is one course, not five — and you can price a set menu per guest type, with your own child or senior tiers carried onto the bill, the receipt and the kitchen ticket. Toggle course visibility instantly on staff terminals and public menus.
Orchestrate high-end tasting courses and beverage pairings with precision, keeping kitchen and sommeliers in lockstep.
Draw your dining room to scale — drag tables into position, choose table shapes (square, round, rectangle, oval), check there is room for staff to pass, and add features like walls, bar, till, and piano for spatial context. The live dashboard gives management a real-time overview of occupancy, active orders, course pacing, delayed tables, and estimated revenue. Every table is followed through ten stages of service; delay alerts surface only to managers so servers stay focused. Move, Merge, or Split tables mid-service without losing any order data.
Your floor plan looks and works exactly like your dining room — and your team always knows what's happening at every table without asking.
A real-time ticket board with station filtering — Chefs see food stations only, Sommeliers see Bar only. Live elapsed timers turn red at 20 minutes; tickets sort oldest-first. Allergy items are immediately visible with a tinted border and warning icon. Fire, hold, mark ready, and serve each course with one tap — with a 5-second quick-undo after every action so mistakes are fixed before the guest ever notices. Dishes are sequenced by how long they take to cook, and you choose whether your kitchen paces courses or takes the whole ticket at once — or runs on printed tickets with no screen at all.
Every station sees only what's relevant, every dish arrives at the right moment, and allergen safety is built into every single ticket.
Reservations that can never double-book a table or overfill a sitting. Your own online booking page lets guests book themselves 24/7 — time slots show Available, Limited, or Full in real time. Collect deposits at booking via Stripe, on the days you choose, refunded or kept automatically according to your cancellation policy, with confirmation emails sent for you.
Fill your restaurant around the clock — guests book and pay themselves while your team focuses entirely on the guests already in the room.
Try the live booking pageGuest profiles store dietary preferences, allergy notes, and contact channels including WeChat and WhatsApp. Every booking, dine-in visit, and takeaway order is automatically linked to the guest profile. A loyalty programme rewards returning guests across tiers you name yourself, earned on visits, spend, or both, and updated automatically every night. Pre-arrival reminders, post-visit feedback requests, and self-service cancellation all run automatically from within the platform.
Your guest relationships don't end when they leave the table — every return visit feels personal, and loyal guests are recognised before they even sit down.
Split bills by seat, evenly, or custom — guests mix card, cash, and comp. Connect your own Stripe account in a few clicks — all card revenue is paid straight to you, with no markup from us. Card payments at the table run on a Stripe card reader, and an interrupted payment picks up where it left off. A separate commission-free takeaway/delivery channel lets guests self-order online — pay by card up front, on collection, or cash on delivery, set per order type, so cash-based venues are fully supported. Twelve financial report sections with period-over-period comparison and CSV export.
Every pound stays with your business — link your own merchant account with 0% platform fees, no split-bill friction, and no marketplace commission.
Tables HQ ships with 8 distinct staff roles — each with purpose-built views and permissions so everyone sees exactly what they need and nothing they don't.
Manages arrivals, walk-ins, and the waitlist. Seats guests, moves tables, and keeps the floor running smoothly from the moment the door opens.
Places orders, paces courses, and presents bills. The My Tables toggle keeps their view focused on their own section only.
Sees only the Bar station on the kitchen display. Manages wine pairings and beverage courses without distraction from food tickets.
Bridges kitchen and floor. Coordinates course readiness and ensures every plate leaves the pass at exactly the right moment.
Sees food stations only on the kitchen display — the categories your own menu is built from. Acknowledges and marks courses ready within their station.
Full service oversight — delay badges, merge/split tables, apply discounts, unserve courses, and access the audit log. No access to financial reports.
All manager permissions plus financial reports, server performance data, and period-over-period revenue analysis. The full business picture in one place.
Complete control — staff accounts, role assignment, two-factor sign-in, data retention, and all financial data. Typically the restaurant owner or IT lead.
Tables HQ is designed to be configured once and run reliably every service. A few hours of setup — your floor plan, menu, team, and kitchen stations — and your whole operation is ready to go.
Draw your room to scale — choose table shapes, set capacities, add walls, bar, and architectural details. Your dining room, exactly as it looks in real life.
Add menu categories and items with pricing, allergens, and course numbers. Create tasting menus with per-course wine pairings — ready before service begins.
The Admin creates a login for every team member — Host, Server, Sommelier, Chef, and more — and assigns each their role. Everyone accesses only what they need.
Your kitchen display stations come from your own menu categories — whatever you actually call them — so a Cantonese kitchen is not asked to think in Grill and Garde Manger. Chefs see food tickets only; the Sommelier sees the bar only. The Host manages the floor from the front.
Greet guests, assign a server, and place orders in seconds — tap a dish or type its menu number, with the order beside the menu so every tap is in view. The kitchen sees everything instantly, on its display or its printed ticket.
Fire each course at exactly the right moment. Split the bill however guests prefer and settle up.
The live dashboard gives managers and owners a real-time view of occupancy, revenue, delayed tables, and course pacing during service. After service, run financial reports to understand revenue trends, top-performing dishes, server performance, and period-over-period comparisons — then export to CSV for your accountant.
