Everything you need to take and manage bookings

A booking page customers finish in under a minute

Every venue gets its own page at its own link. Customers pick how many people, tap a day, tap a time and add their name and phone. No account, no app to download, no password. It works on any phone, and in 14 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish, Arabic and Chinese. Customers switch language on the page and their emails follow. Your dashboard, the staff app and the emails to your venue come in the same 14 languages, so your whole team can work in the one they know best.

Every venue gets its own web address. Free venues get a short random code like 5434.nabsie.com; on Standard and above you choose your own, like yourpub.nabsie.com. Your dashboard has a QR code and a printable poster for it. Share the address on Google Business Profile, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, your email signature, or put the QR code on menus and in the window. If you have a website, embed it with one line.

Three ways to say yes

Instant confirms a booking on the spot if a table is free. Staff approved holds it as a request until someone accepts. Live check is the clever one: the customer waits a few minutes with a countdown while your staff get an alert. If nobody replies in time, you choose whether to decline politely or keep it as a request and email later.

Live check can be switched on manually, on a schedule, or automatically whenever a staff member is logged in to the staff app. All three modes are on every plan, including Free.

A staff app that lives on a phone

Install it to the home screen on iPhone or Android. Requests appear at the top with a countdown and two big buttons, accept or decline with a reason. A short beep plays when something new arrives, and Standard and Pro venues get push notifications even when the app is closed.

There is also an Android Staff app for paid plans (see Apps). Staff can also add walk-ins and phone bookings by hand, mark arrivals and no-shows, and see tonight's list at a glance. Free includes the owner plus one staff login; Standard and Pro have unlimited logins.

Tables, turn times and pacing

Add your tables as groups, for example five 2 seaters and ten 4 seaters, plus any named tables like the snug or the window. Set turn times by party size and optionally let large parties combine two tables. Cap covers per service and limit bookings per 15 minutes so the kitchen keeps its rhythm on a Saturday night.

Opening hours are set per day with separate lunch and dinner services, and you can close a date or a service for a private party in two taps.

A live floor plan of your actual room

Drag your tables into place, round, square, oval or booth, big or small, turned at an angle if that is how they sit, and add the bar, doors, windows, stairs and toilets so everyone can find their way. Split it into areas like the garden and upstairs, and zoom out for a hundred plus tables. Then run service from it: tap a free table to seat a walk in or take a phone booking, see who is on every table and when it frees up, move people around, mark no shows. Online bookings drop onto the smallest free table that fits.

Switch on table picking and customers choose their own table from the plan, with a minimum party size per table so a couple cannot take your six seater. Bookings carry colour tags too: regulars and first timers are spotted automatically, birthdays and anniversaries from what they type, plus VIP, allergy, high chair and more.

And because the internet goes down on the busiest night of the year, a table list can be emailed to you before every service, or downloaded and printed any time.

A calendar customers understand

Days are colour coded: green for plenty, amber for limited, red for full and grey for closed. Customers pick a party size and see the times that work, and never see how many tables you actually have. That keeps your capacity private and stops people trying to game the system.

Works on any website, or none

Your booking page has its own link you can share anywhere. If you have a website, embed it with an iframe, a one line script, or a "Book a table" button that opens it in an overlay. It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy, or plain HTML someone built years ago.

Emails that do the work for you

Customers get a confirmation with a calendar file, a manage link to cancel if plans change, and a reminder the day before. You get an email for every booking and request. Standard and Pro venues can send from their own email address so it looks like it came from you.

Spam and no-show protection

Rate limits per connection, a hidden honeypot, optional Cloudflare Turnstile, and a daily cap on bookings per phone number and email. Staff can mark arrivals and no-shows so you know who to trust, and the reminder email the day before does most of the work of cutting no-shows on its own.

Works anywhere in the world

Nabsie is built in the UK and used by venues anywhere. Set your venue's time zone and the booking page, emails and staff app all show local times. Any country, any address format. Prices are in pounds sterling and cards from any country are fine. Deposits are taken in pounds sterling through your own Stripe account, and guests can pay with a card from any country.
