What does an online reservation system do?
A good reservation system does three things: guests book a table themselves, you see who is coming when in one overview, and the system takes care of communication with the guest. Jesdi does all of this from one back office and one app.
- Bookings on your own website with a widget you add in a few minutes, also on WordPress, Wix or Squarespace.
- An agenda per table with a timeline and a floor plan of your dining room, so you see straight away which table is free.
- Confirmation and reminder by email, with a link that lets the guest change or cancel themselves.
- A guest database that recognises every guest: number of visits, no-shows, allergies and notes.
- A notification on your phone for every new booking or cancellation.
No commission per guest
Many booking platforms charge an amount per guest or per reservation. The busier your restaurant, the more you pay. Jesdi has a fixed price of € 35 per month, however many guests book. The guests are yours: they book on your website and your data stays yours. Also read the maths: commission or a fixed subscription.
More guests, fewer empty seats
A reservation system gives you more than fewer phone calls. With a reminder beforehand, fewer guests fail to show up. With the waiting list you fill a cancellation right away. And with the monthly menu and automated emails you invite guests to come back. See also preventing no-shows and bringing regular guests back.
Set up in an afternoon
You sign up, enter your opening hours and tables and paste the widget on your website. The first 30 days are free and you are not tied to anything: cancel monthly.
Frequently asked questions
What does an online reservation system cost for a restaurant?
With Jesdi you pay € 35 per month, without commission per guest, without setup costs and cancellable monthly. Paying yearly gives a discount.
Can I put the reservation system on my own website?
Yes. You paste one line of code on your website. That works on any website, including WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and Jimdo. No website? Then you get your own booking page.
Do I need an app?
No. Jesdi works in the browser on your computer, tablet and phone. On your phone you add the app to your home screen with one tap, without an app store.
Can I also enter phone bookings and walk-ins?
Yes. Phone bookings and walk-ins go into the agenda with a few taps, and Jesdi picks a suitable table itself.
