Runthefloor.Not the inbox.
Function enquiries that quote themselves, bookings without per-cover fees bleeding margin, and a venue site that actually fills seats.
$0
Per-cover fees
Your booking system, owned outright. Platforms charging per seated head stop taxing your busiest nights.
Hours

Enquiry to quote to deposit runs itself. You step in to say yes, not to type.

A platform charging per cover, plus your best customers being marketed your competitors.

Roster tools
Availability, published shifts and confirmations without the Sunday-night spreadsheet ritual.
Guest memory
Regulars, dietaries, anniversaries and history. The stuff great venues remember, structured.

Requests timed to the good nights. Your Google rating compounds while you run service.
Honest verdicts
The hospo stack, honestly assessed.
We build custom software, and we will still tell you when you do not need it. Keep what works, replace what fights you.
POS (Square, Lightspeed etc.)
✓ KeepKeep the till. We integrate with it rather than fight it.
Booking platforms charging per cover

Function enquiries by inbox

Roster apps (Deputy etc.)

“The new site started bringing in enquiries within weeks. Fast, looks incredible, and Will handled everything from design to launch without any of it landing on my plate.”

Questions
Asked by every
venue owner.
If yours is not here, it is a thirty-minute call away from answered. Free, no obligation, no pitch.
Ask it directly →01What does custom hospitality software cost?+
Quoted fixed after a free call. A venue site is the entry point; function pipelines and owned booking systems are mid-sized builds that typically pay for themselves against platform fees and recovered function revenue. Honest Australian ranges are on our blog.
02Why build our own booking system instead of using a platform?+
Per-cover fees tax your busiest nights, and platforms own your guest data while marketing competitors to your customers. An owned system costs once, follows your rules, and every booking is genuinely yours. Staying listed on platforms for discovery while owning direct bookings is the usual best of both.
03Can it handle functions and events properly?+
That is usually the centrepiece: packages, availability, automated quoting, deposits, dietaries and kitchen run-sheets in one pipeline, because functions are where venue margin actually lives.
04Does it connect to our POS?+
We integrate with the major POS systems where their APIs allow, and design around them where they do not. The till stays; the chaos around it goes.
05How long until something is live?+
A venue site ships in 2 to 6 weeks. A function pipeline or booking system typically takes 6 to 12 weeks for a first version that starts taking deposits immediately.
06We are a small cafe, is this overkill?+
Possibly, and we will say so on the call. A great site plus a review engine might be all a small cafe needs; the bigger builds earn their keep for venues doing functions, multiple sittings or multiple sites.
What would service look like with the admin gone?
Tell us how your business actually runs. We will scope it properly, quote it fixed, and tell you honestly if custom is not the right answer.
