About Carbonara

Carbonara App is a free digital waitlist and restaurant reservation system that allows you to seamlessly handle both walk-in customers and guests who have reserved tables.

Make smart use of your time and greet diners with a free waitlist/reservations app. Wherever you are, lighten customer wait times with an app that gives restaurateurs and managers full control over their guest lists.

Created simultaneously for restaurants, cafés, and bars, our app offers an approachable set of features:

a digital waitlist to manage virtual queues;
an online booking service to schedule reservations, and
most recently, an innovative pre-ordering system to allow customers to buy beverages or order food before being seated.

All of Carbonara App’s features are completely free and come at zero cost whatsoever.

Send free SMS messages and text guests in the virtual queue to inform them when their table is ready. Fill your tables with walk-in host strategies — such as two-way communication features to manage your tables in real time.

If you’re a reservation-based restaurant, guests use the app to make online bookings. Customers reserve tables from anywhere on the web, either via your website or...

social media platform. Smoothly schedule your operating hours, and apply table management features to select free tables and seat guests. Carbonara App’s new drink pre-ordering feature lets customers buy alcoholic beverages before they arrive. Customers click on a link to purchase, then your restaurant receives the full amount, no deduction fees included. Increase your restaurant’s revenue with this free feature. It's as simple as ABC: Guests waiting at your door don't want to feel like anyone is wasting their time. So we developed a free app to see hospitality businesses prosper. Give guests what they want — a smart platform to enhance their dining out experience and enjoy their meals with zero hassle. Be the ideal host: let Carbonara App help you fork up a first-class hospitality experience today! Features: NEW! Enhance the customer experience with drink pre-ordering. Let customers pre-order and pay for drinks before they even step through your door. Provide customers with accurate wait quotes and timers using the app's notification features. Send customers text reminders and ensure they arrive on time. SMS messages cost nothing, as Carbonara App absorbs all tariff charges. Bring your whole team on board with multi-device sync. Now everyone views the waitlist and reservation management screen at any time. Change of plan? Receive messages from customers via Carbonara App's two-way communication features, reducing your restaurant's risk of no-shows. Communicate with international customers from across the globe with multi-language support. Use the table management screen and swiftly assign customers their seats, attending to party size and guest preference. Engage with free restaurant analytics: receive statistical emails that provide key insights on how your business is performing.

    L'app giusta nel momento giusto

    5

    Che dire...è stato amore a prima vista soprattutto per un locale come il nostro situato all'interno di un centro commerciale ....la possibilità di sostituire carta e penna con un applicazione che non è una semplice lista di attesa ma bensì un qualcosa che ti permetta di gestire fluidamente l'enorme attesa esterna in maniera perfetta ed impeccabile... Pochi passaggi ed il gioco è fatto....nome...numero di persone...numero di telefono...cliente avvisato tramite sms (senza alcun costo) e poi con un semplice click parte una telefonata (ribadisco SENZA ALCUN COSTO) al cliente che lo avvisa del fatto che il tavolo è pronto. Possibilità di personalizzare gli sms da inviare al cliente... Possibilità di preassegnare già il tavolo in cui il cliente in lista dovrà accomodarsi... Possibilità di fargli scegliere se vuole stare all'interno o per chi ha spazi esterni anche fuori.... Possibilità di interagire con il cliente attraverso una chat nell'app.... Nessuna necessità di far installare un'applicazione al cliente....

    Pros:
    la facilità nell'utilizzo....molto intuitiva e semplice
    Cons:
    sicuramente come già detto sarebbe importante avere la possibilità di oscurare l'orario in cui approssimativamente possa essere pronto il tavolo

    Reasons for choosing Carbonara

    perché credo sia l'app perfetta per chi come noi deve sopperire allo stress della lista di attesa.

    Reasons for switching to Carbonara

    Perché ogni volta si creava una confusione pazzesca all'esterno del locale con gente in attesa che si liberasse il proprio tavolo. Ora invece ho ridotto a zero la fila esterna, il cliente è molto più rilassato poiché nel momento in cui lascia il nome è libero di farsi un giro invece di piantonarsi d'avanti al locale in attesa di essere chiamati Sicuramente stress ridotto a zero da parte di cliente e lavoratore

    Ciao Giovanni, ti ringrazio tantissimo per questa fantastica recensione in nome di tutto il team di Carbonara. Siamo davvero felici che la nostra app sia stata cosi d'aiuto al tuo ristorante, ci fa sempre un immenso piacere leggere questi pareri cosi postivi. Lavoriamo costantemente per migliorare l'esperienza dei ristoranti, e il vostro incoraggiamento e importantissimo per noi. Grazie ancora, non vediamo l'ora di rendere la vostra esperienza ancora migliore. Cordialmente, Francesca Customer Success
