What is the problem?

Website says call for reservations — younger diners bounce to competitors with instant booking.

How TablioQR solves it

Book a table widget on your marketplace listing and restaurant page — no app download required.

  • Online booking from your Discover listing — no guest app.
  • SMS-verified requests and email confirmations.
  • Host queue: pending → confirmed → seated → completed.
  • Seat → open table order → POS ticket.

What to do this week

Enable reservations on one branch, set party size and booking windows, and tell hosts to use the dashboard queue instead of the phone for new bookings.
