What changes, from the first call to the last guest.

Before service

Bookings come in by themselves, at the pace you choose.

They only see the times you’re open and the seats still available.

  • Guests book online at any hour.
  • You set how many parties can arrive each half hour: once that number is reached, the time is no longer offered.
  • Confirmations and reminders go out by e-mail, with no calls from you.
  • Your page speaks French, English, German and Italian.
  • If you allow it, your guests move their own booking.

During service

The whole service on one screen, on all your tablets.

Bookings, floor plan, joined tables, walk-ins: it’s all there. Two servers work on two tablets at the same time, and each sees the other’s changes. Bientenu can also place bookings on tables for you.

The floor plan during service

When it gets complicated

7 pm

A table of four cancels.

Guests on the waiting list are notified by e-mail, automatically if you want, and can take the spot.

8:30 pm

The connection drops.

You keep seating guests and noting phone bookings. When the connection is back, everything updates.

9 pm

A table never showed up.

The card guarantee takes care of it.

Card guarantee

Fewer no-shows, with nothing paid up front.

Guests put a card on file when they book; nothing is charged. If they don’t show up or cancel too late, they pay the fee you set. Prefer a deposit? That works too.

How it works

Questions we get asked

Do you send text messages?

No. Confirmations, reminders and cancellations go out by e-mail, unlimited and at no extra cost. Guests can cancel in one click from the e-mail.

What if the connection drops during service?

You keep seating guests and noting no-shows and phone bookings. Everything updates when the connection is back. During the outage, new online bookings don’t reach the tablet. An hour before each service, the booking list is also sent to your inbox.

Can my servers change everything?

No. There are three roles: owner, manager and floor staff. Floor staff handle the service and bookings; settings, statistics and refunds stay with the manager and the owner.

Will my guests see other restaurants?

No. Your booking page shows only your restaurant. No marketplace, no commission.

Where is my data, and can I leave?

It is hosted in the European Union and belongs to you. You can export it at any time. No commitment: you stop at the end of the month.

I’m switching software: do I have to retype everything?

No. Import your guest profiles and upcoming bookings from an Excel or CSV file. Your guests get no e-mail when you import. Rather not do it yourself? Send the file from your old software to contact@bientenu.fr and we import it for you, free of charge.

Does Bientenu connect to my till?

Not yet. It’s planned.
