Helpful to new business and a stride above other competitors

100% couldn't live without it! Allows our customers the piece of mind that they have a booking and helps us gauge our staffing levels! Congratulations carbonara on a super piece or hospitality software

PROS

It's a straight forward and easy to use piece of software. From the booking link on you're website to automatically selecting tables, it free up a space in you're head to focus on the customers.

CONS

There is nothing in this app that you can humble with! The team behind the app are super knowledgeable and helpful to resolve any issues that may arise

Reason for choosing Carbonara

Pricing mainly. Other companies are expensive for start up companies, the free software allowed us to trial a booking system before committing to a contract, however it proved that great that we won't move from carbonara.

Carbonara

Excellent - [SENSITIVE CONTENT] the BEST

PROS

User & budget friendly & accomplishes our needs with limited reservations mostly walk-in business & waitlists

CONS

Would like to be able to secure reservations with a guest credit card

Reason for choosing Carbonara

Because we’re a small new restaurant & they added expense from other reservation systems doesn’t make sense for us - with only 49 reservable seats

I do love this app! It’s made life so much easier for us. Friendly service

PROS

It’s so user friendly and it’s made our booking system so much easier

CONS

Inability to merge tables together yet. And inability to time slot covers. It can be a long wait time to get a help response/ unsure if I’m contacting the right people for a response.

Really Good Booking system

The contact I have had with the team has been exceptional, a team of people that enjoy what they do, and value your feedback and suggestions.

PROS

We like how the waitlist feature means our customers can join a virtual queue, we also like how we can process answer machine messages, without having to call customers back, as the system will send out an automated message. The team are constantly wanting to develop and advance the app further and are really keen to here end user feedback and take comments onboard. The fact that this app is totally free no monthly fees, no message fees and zero commissions.

CONS

We have made our suggestions about improvements, these have been taken on board and developed into further updates of the app

Reason for choosing Carbonara

We liked the enthusiasm that the team had towards the product and felt we would like to join their journey to make carbonara the best booking system with a zero cost attached.

Great (FREE!) Waitlist and Reservations Management for Restaurants

It does exactly what it says it will, and does it simply and intuitively. There aren't a ton of bells and whistles, which actually contributes to the ease of training, roll-out, and daily use. Additionally, I've found the development team to be truly interested in feedback and accessible for questions.

PROS

Training was -dead- simple on the software, extremely easy to roll out to team, and use is intuitive. Not a ton of frills or feature creep, but accomplished exactly what it said it would, which is exactly what we needed it to do, and it has done it flawlessly

CONS

There isn't the availability yet for multiple users or permission sets, which isn't the end of the world, but it means we don't have the ability to track who made which changes, as our whole team shares one username/password. That said, the lack of this feature hasn't impacted our ability to use it, and it has still worked beautifully for what we needed it to do

Reason for choosing Carbonara

We looked at several alternatives, each of which had subscription fees. We were a little nervous to try the free option, thinking that surely it couldn't work as well as the others or there would be some catch, but we have been overwhelmingly impressed. While it's feature set it relatively simple, it does everything it promises and everything we need it to.
