The practical decision
Why pay for more reservation software than your venue needs?
Platforms such as ResDiary and Now Book It offer broad reservation ecosystems with additional CRM, marketing and advanced operational functionality. That breadth can be valuable for venues that need it.
Many independent hospitality businesses primarily need a dependable way to take bookings, manage tables and capacity, set booking rules, add phone bookings, handle special requests and send confirmations. POSbiz provides those core reservation capabilities at a significantly lower cost.

POSbiz Reservations
Need a straightforward hospitality reservation system that does the core job at a much lower cost? That's where POSbiz fits.
Core reservation tools
Everything needed for the core reservation job.
Each part is focused on the practical controls that help a venue take and manage reservations.
Take bookings direct from your website
Let guests choose a date, time and party size through a real POSbiz booking widget on your website.
Control when and how people book
Set booking intervals, booking windows, stay times, guest and capacity limits, and service periods.
Manage your tables
Set up tables and table priority, with optional automatic table allocation where appropriate.
Keep online and phone bookings together
Use the reservation administration to manage online bookings and manually add phone bookings.
Handle the details before the guest arrives
Record special requirements, use custom reservation messages, send confirmation emails and configure deposits where enabled.
Commercial clarity
More of your budget should stay in the venue.
POSbiz uses a straightforward reservation product model and does not charge a POSbiz fee every time somebody books. For venues that only need the core reservation job, the larger advantage is a significantly lower overall cost than broader specialist platforms.
Core reservation system, clear product boundary
Reservations is a separate POSbiz product. It does not imply automatic core-POS floor-plan, guest-spend, customer-CRM or marketing synchronisation from POS transactions.
Booking workflow
A booking experience built around service.
Use a customer-facing booking flow, online administration and booking confirmations while your team retains the control it needs around each service period.
Availability and tables
Set capacity, availability, tables and priorities around the way service runs.
Clear confirmations
Send automatic booking confirmation emails and use custom reservation messages.
FAQ
