Run your venue from one place: bookings, orders, the kitchen and your regulars.
Take table bookings, ring up orders at the till, send tickets to the kitchen screen and bring guests back, from one workspace set up for how venues work.
The moments that fill or empty your tables
Here is what happens at each one when your venue runs on Automo.
- A guest calls to book while the team is prepping. Your phone line answers and takes the booking straight into your reservations, so nobody has to stop prep.
- A dish comes off the menu and a special goes on. Change it once in your menu and it updates on the till and on your online ordering page.
- Friday night is fully booked. On the Business plan, each guest gets a text reminder a few hours before their table, so fewer seats sit empty.
- The dining room and the takeaway counter are both slammed. Orders from the till and from table QR codes land on the kitchen screen, and the team bumps each ticket when it is ready.
- Service is over and the till needs closing. Close every till, count the cash against what was expected and get the day's report, ready for the morning.
Questions venue owners ask
Is it free to start?
Yes. The Free plan gives you your website, menu designs, social posts, email campaigns and your private events pipeline, for 1 member. The till, table bookings, the kitchen screen, online ordering, loyalty and the phone line come with paid plans.
Do I need special hardware for the till?
No. The till and the kitchen screen run in the browser on a tablet, phone or computer. Take card payments on the card machine you already use and record them at the till.
Can I bring my menu across?
Yes. Import it from a photo of your printed menu or from a link to your current online menu, then check each item before it goes live.
Can my staff use it?
Yes. The Free plan is for 1 member. Move to a paid plan to add your front of house and kitchen team, each with their own login.
