Restaurant reservation system

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla different from standard restaurant reservation software?
  Standard restaurant booking calendars only offer simple table and time scheduling. Anolla is a complete all-in-one revenue-optimizing table reservation and guest management platform for restaurants. The solution combines online table bookings, restaurant CRM, floor occupancy management, staff scheduling, and automated guest communication. Unlike static reservation systems, Anolla uses AI to intelligently and automatically allocate tables, times, and guest flows. Anolla supports dynamic pricing for menu preferences, peak hours, and special events. The platform handles hourly table reservations, multi-hour dinner sessions, and multi-day group bookings in parallel, consolidating all reservations into a single smart restaurant control panel.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support hourly, session-based, and multi-day restaurant bookings at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s main competitive advantages for restaurants and catering businesses. Unlike many table reservation solutions, Anolla does not force a restaurant to choose just one scheduling model. The platform simultaneously supports hourly table bookings, seating-based dinner slots, special tasting-menu evenings, and multi-day group and banquet reservations. A restaurant can also manage events with variable duration such as private room rentals, parties, and catering services. All bookings run in parallel under a single restaurant account and are consolidated into one central dining-room and table calendar view. Thanks to this, Anolla is an ideal fit for hybrid foodservice businesses: restaurants, cafés, lounges, event halls, hotel restaurants, and catering kitchens.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce the administrative workload and human errors of restaurants?
  Anolla’s automated guest service AI assistant works for restaurants 24/7, answering booking inquiries even outside front-of-house opening hours. The AI assistant automatically resolves up to 79.3%¹ of typical table reservation and menu information questions, including availability, party size, special requests and opening hours. The assistant also takes care of up to 52.4%¹ of first-level technical support and inquiries related to booking changes and cancellations, without servers, shift managers or reservation coordinators having to intervene. Automated emails, SMS messages and live chat communication help reduce the volume of phone calls and manually managed bookings, cutting admin time by up to 39.3%¹. The result is a lower administrative workload for the floor manager and host, fewer double bookings and minimal human errors in table and seating schedules.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing module help restaurants optimize revenue?
  Anolla’s dynamic pricing module automates a restaurant’s pricing strategy for table booking fees, set menus and special event tickets. The restaurateur can create flexible rules for adjusting prices based on time of day, day of week, seasonality, venue occupancy, special events and customer segments (such as regulars, corporate clients, tourist groups). All price adjustments are applied automatically in the booking module according to the configured business rules, with no extra workload for administrators. The system helps drive guest traffic during low-demand times with special offers and early-bird prices, while enabling maximum revenue per table during peak hours, weekends and holidays. Smart dynamic pricing increases average occupancy, average spend per guest and the restaurant’s overall profitability.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable both for a small restaurant and for a multi-location restaurant chain?
  Yes, Anolla restaurant booking software is designed to scale from a single cozy bistro to large multi-location restaurant chains. A small café or standalone restaurant can start with a powerful free plan that covers core functions: table reservations, a simple guest list and notifications. Restaurant groups with multiple locations, hotel F&B outlets and franchise chains can use centralized management from a single dashboard to control all restaurants, dining rooms, terraces and private rooms in one system. The platform lets you add unlimited locations, floor plans, user accounts and roles, tailoring permissions by role (floor manager, reservation manager, administrator, head chef, marketing). Flexible role- and location-based access control (RBAC) ensures every team member sees only the bookings, statistics and workspace they need.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich tools and systems does Anolla restaurant software integrate with?
  Anolla’s restaurant reservation software is built on an API-first architecture and supports all key integrations a modern restaurant needs. For online payment processing, it features a deep integration with Stripe, enabling you to request deposits to secure tables for high-demand dinners and special events. For restaurant marketing and sales analytics, Anolla supports integrations with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Meta Pixel to measure booking sources, conversion rates, and campaign performance. The platform enables the export of raw data to BI and ML tools to analyze dining room occupancy, guest return frequency, and sales trends. In addition, the solution includes a powerful public API and integrations with other in-venue systems such as POS, inventory management, loyalty programs, and hotel booking engines.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat is included in the free plan and what do the paid restaurant features add?
  Anolla’s free plan includes all the basic tools a restaurant needs to start managing table reservations smoothly: an online booking form, a simple reservations calendar, a basic customer profile and automatic booking confirmations. This level is ideal for single-location restaurants, small cafés and new hospitality businesses that want to start accepting online bookings quickly. Paid features add unlimited automation (such as reminders, follow-up surveys, feedback collection), advanced integrations with POS systems, CRM and marketing platforms, and guest loyalty modules that support points programs, sending personalized offers and managing VIP guests. Extended plans also unlock deeper reporting, revenue-optimization tools and centralized management for multi-location restaurant groups.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing help a restaurant manage business security and risk?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing model is designed to support the business security and risk management of restaurants and catering companies. Restaurants do not have to pay high fixed monthly fees for booking software during low season or quieter periods when they are using it less. Software costs always scale in proportion to the actual booking volume and usage, helping keep fixed costs under control. This model is especially suitable for seasonal restaurants, summer and beach cafés, event and wedding venues, and catering businesses where demand varies significantly between months or weeks. This way, the restaurant can focus on the menu, guest experience and service quality, knowing that the cost of the reservation software automatically adjusts to the real volume of business activity.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can a restaurant get its bookings up and running with Anolla?
  For restaurants, getting started with Anolla usually takes only a few minutes, because the entire setup is guided by a 24/7 context-aware AI assistant trained specifically on table reservations and floor layouts. Step by step, the restaurant can configure the floor plan, tables, bookable time slots, party sizes and automatic confirmations without any technical background. The platform’s ease of use is rated 5/5 on Capterra¹, and nine out of ten restaurant staff members master the core functions—creating, modifying and confirming bookings and changing table status—in under 30 minutes¹. This allows the entire front-of-house team to start working with a unified reservation calendar very quickly.
