Restaurant
booking app
A booking system on your website or a mobile app, built for your restaurant: no commission, no platform in between, and under your own name.
Reservations taken over the phone in the middle of service, double bookings, tables left empty by no-shows: an online booking tool takes care of these problems. Module, an independent web studio based in Marseille, builds custom reservation tools for restaurants and restaurant groups, which your customers use from your website, Google or an app.
A real example: a restaurant booking app
The group took reservations manually by phone, which caused scheduling errors and double bookings and cost the staff a considerable amount of time. It had no visibility into customer preferences.
A React Native app with a REST API backend, real-time booking, automated availability management and richer customer profiles. A dashboard lets managers handle reservations and analyze the data.

What the tool does
- Real-time booking. Date, time and party size based on your availability, with instant confirmation.
- Reminders and notifications. Reservation reminders, new menus, special offers: a direct line to your customers.
- Dashboard. Reservations, availability and guest numbers, managed by you.
- Customer profiles. Visit history, favorites and preferences, so you can give regulars a better welcome.
- Multiple locations. One tool for several restaurants in the same group, with geolocation.
Website booking system or mobile app?
For a single restaurant, a booking system built into your website is often the right choice: nothing for your customers to install, and a direct link from your Google Business Profile. A mobile app becomes worthwhile for a group with several locations, a loyalty program or notifications (menus, events, special offers). I’ll help you choose based on your guest numbers and your budget.
A custom build rather than a platform
Booking platforms bring visibility, but they often charge per cover or by subscription, and they keep the relationship with your customers. A tool built for you belongs to you: your customer data stays yours, there is no commission, and the tool evolves with your restaurant.
Frequently asked questions
Is a booking system on my website better than a mobile app?
A booking system built into your website is enough for most restaurants: customers book from Google or your site without installing anything. A mobile app makes sense for a group with several locations, a loyalty program or regular notifications.
Is there a commission per booking?
No. The tool is built for you and belongs to you: no per-cover commission goes to a platform. The only costs left to plan for are hosting and, if you want it, maintenance.
Do customers get a confirmation and reminders?
Yes: the booking is confirmed right away, then an automatic reminder goes out before the visit (by email or notification, depending on the format you choose) to cut down on no-shows.
Can I manage availability myself?
Yes. A dashboard lets you manage your time slots and reservations, and keep track of guest numbers.
How much does a custom booking tool cost?
The budget depends on the format (a booking system on your website or a mobile app) and the number of locations. Indicative prices are on the offers page; I put together a precise quote after a first conversation.
