Placemat

What it does

• Set your venue timezone, tables, turn times and cover limit
• Publish a service after you approve the exact plan
• Let guests book online into times that fit a full turn
• Seat walk-ins, run a waitlist and mark no-shows on one floor view
• Combine tables automatically when one table is too small
• Prepare approved reminder lists as a CSV for your own email or SMS sender
• Keep guest history and notes, and erase a guest's details
• Move in guest and booking history from Tablein-style CSV files

What it promises

• Owners and managers run the floor and approve plans; read-only staff can only look; move-in, erasure, backups and keys need the owner.
• Guests can see published services and make a booking, but never see other guests' contact details.
• Tables cannot be double booked, and a service's total cover limit cannot be overridden.
• If the floor changed while you were editing, the change is refused as a conflict instead of overwriting.
• Agents can prepare plans and proposals, but only a person approves, and that person is recorded.
• Reminders are an approved CSV for your own sender; no deposits, card holds, payments or messages are sent by Placemat.
• Move-in shows a dry run first, applies only the confirmed plan, keeps a journal and refuses to undo rows that were edited.
• Erasing a guest removes their personal details and blocks older backups from bringing them back.

Move in from

• Tablein-style guest and history CSV
