Book the table, then book the car home
A branded ride-booking layer for restaurants, bars, hotels with F&B and event venues — so guests arrive on time, leave safely and the venue records the revenue instead of losing it to a rank outside.
Quick answer
Restaurant booking software for transport lets a venue arrange, price and track the cars its guests arrive and leave in. Staff book a ride from the host stand in seconds, guests scan a QR code on the bill or table to order their own car, and large-party or private-dining transfers are pre-arranged as a group booking. Fares come from an agreed rate card, cars are dispatched to your own drivers or a contracted operator, and each ride records who booked it and what commission the venue earned. It reduces no-shows on late reservations, shortens the wait after service and turns the ride home into a branded part of the experience. Setup starts at $399 plus $10 a month with no per-booking commission.
What the restaurant solution covers
Book a car from the host stand
Front-of-house staff arrange a ride in under 30 seconds while the guest is still at the table: party size, vehicle class, pickup time set to the end of service. The guest walks out to a car that is already waiting instead of standing on the pavement in the rain.
QR code on the bill and the table
A branded QR on the bill folder, the table card or the cloakroom ticket opens your own booking page with the venue address pre-filled. The guest enters a destination, sees the fare and confirms — no app download and no third-party marketplace between you and your customer.
Group, private dining and event transfers
Pre-arrange a fleet of cars or a minibus for a private dining room, a wedding, a corporate dinner or a tasting event. Multiple pickups, staggered departure times and a single consolidated invoice to the event organiser are all handled as one booking.
Safer late-night departures
Offer every guest a guaranteed ride home at a known price. Vetted, licensed drivers and a tracked journey protect both the guest and the venue's duty of care, and give servers a natural, useful upsell at the end of a wine-led meal.
Valet and driver coordination
Coordinate valet retrieval and inbound arrivals so the forecourt does not jam at 8pm. Staff see which cars are en route, which have arrived and which guests are still waiting, all on one screen at the door.
Commission and covers reporting
Every ride records the fare, the operator's rate and the venue's margin, broken down by service, shift, staff member and event. You can finally see what transport is worth to the business rather than treating it as a favour to guests.
How it runs across a service
Reservation confirmed
The booking confirmation email can carry a ride link so guests arrange arrival transport in advance.
Arrival managed
Inbound cars are timed to the reservation so the door is not overwhelmed at peak sitting times.
Ride home requested
By the guest via QR code on the bill, or by a server from the host-stand console.
Priced and confirmed
Fixed fare from your rate card, confirmed by SMS with vehicle details and pickup point.
Dispatched and tracked
Allocated to your drivers or a contracted operator; the door team sees the ETA before the guest asks.
Settled and reported
Card, guest account or event invoice, then commission and volume reporting per service.
