Bookings
Restaurant booking automation
An automated booking system that takes reservations however customers get in touch, whether by phone, email, SMS or Instagram DM, and lands them in your floor plan with confirmations, reminders and no-show prevention baked in.
Bookings shouldn't need a dedicated person.
The Calso solution
Every booking, every channel, auto-managed.
Calso unifies phone, email, SMS, web form and social DMs into one booking pipeline. It confirms availability, takes the reservation into the Calso dashboard, sends reminders on your schedule, re-fills cancellations via your waitlist, and chases no-shows automatically.
Takes bookings on every channel
Phone, email, SMS, Instagram DM, website form. All pipe into one booking flow.
Smart reminders cut no-shows
Timed SMS and email reminders with easy confirm and cancel links, so a guest who cannot make it tells you instead of just not turning up.
Auto-fills cancellations
When a booking cancels, Calso messages the waitlist and offers the slot. Empty tables become rare.
Handles the edge cases
Group bookings, allergy notes, special occasion flags, pram access. Calso asks the right follow-up questions.
