Your restaurant reservation system, the same one your team uses at the host stand with the synced live diary, the same floor plan, and every guest detail, now travels with you. <\/span><\/p>

Whether you’re mid-service, in the back office, or out on errands, the Now Book It iOS app is designed to let you stay where you are, and still stay on top of bookings.<\/p>

Keep reading to learn what the app can do, how it fits into your day-to-day operations, and why thousands of restaurant owners and managers are already using it to run sharper services.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is the Now Book It app?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Now Book It app is a mobile extension of Now Book It’s restaurant reservation system<\/a>. It’s designed for restaurant owners, venue managers, and front-of-house staff who need real-time access to their booking diary without being tied to a fixed terminal. <\/span><\/p>

The app gives you live access to the same data and core features \u2014 reservations, table availability, guest notes, blockouts and walk-in management. The essentials that your team rely on during every service. <\/span><\/p>

With feedback from venues we work with, we built the iOS app as a direct response to how people in hospo actually work: fast, on-the-floor, and rarely at a desk.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Here’s what the app puts in your hands \u2014 or your front-of-house manager’s \u2014 from the moment service begins.<\/span><\/p>

See your service at a glance<\/b><\/p>

Your bookings and run sheet is updated in real time and accessible from the app. Staff heading into a service can check what’s ahead without needing to gather around a single screen \u2014 helpful for pre-service briefings when the team is already spread across the venue. <\/span><\/p>

View and manage reservations in real time<\/b><\/p>

Need to create or adjust a reservation on the fly? Move a booking to a different table, update a party size, or mark a table as seated without walking back to the host stand. <\/span><\/p>

Manage walk-ins without missing a beat<\/b><\/p>

Not forgetting that walk-ins are a fact of life in hospo! The app makes slotting them in straightforward: you can see live table availability and open gaps in the service schedule, then add a walk-in directly from your phone. No double-handling. <\/span><\/p>

Know your guests before they arrive<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>

The details matter. If a returning guest has a dietary requirement on file, or a booking tag that flags a birthday or anniversary, your team can see that information in the app before the guests sit down. Customer profiles, visit history, tags, and contact details \u2014 everything you need to deliver <\/span>a great experience<\/span> is always <\/span>within<\/span> reach.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Stay across your floor plan<\/b><\/p>

Best on the iPad, the app reflects your live floor plan, giving you a bird’s-eye view of which tables are occupied, which are available, and how the sections are tracking. For floor managers moving between sections, this visibility means faster decisions and fewer communication gaps. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Managing with your reservation app changes operations\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When your booking system lives only on a fixed terminal, your team’s ability to make real-time decisions is constrained. Whoever is at the desk has the information, and everyone else is working off memory or communication. <\/span><\/p>

The Now Book It app fixes that gap. When your floor manager can check availability from the floor, respond to a walk-in request without leaving a section, or pull up a guest note before approaching a table, service becomes more responsive. <\/span><\/p>

If you’re a venue that runs with Now Book It, you already know the system. The app now extends that familiarity to wherever service takes you and your team. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Now Book It app is built for anyone in your venue who needs booking system access away from the host stand. That might includes: <\/span><\/p>
