Table booking
Online bookings with table management.
Restaurant booking systems, deposits & live menus
Restaurants: full tables, protected by deposits. Bookings and menus that never go stale.
Bookings through platforms that charge per cover, big groups that no-show and menus that are always one change behind. We build booking and menu systems for restaurants.
Looking for a restaurant booking system without per-cover fees?
Booking platforms charge you for every diner. We build booking systems that take deposits for groups, manage tables and keep your menu current, on your own website.
Wollopit builds ordering, bookings, menus and websites for restaurants around how your venue actually runs. We connect the POS and tools you already use, cut out the commissions you don't need to pay and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back on the floor.

04Services
Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for restaurants.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for restaurants
Built around how your restaurant actually runs: table booking, group deposits and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for restaurants
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Restaurant system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.
Apps and portals for restaurants
Live menus and function packages: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your restaurant: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things restaurants ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can we move from our current booking platform?
Yes. We can move future bookings and guest lists across and set up your own system before you switch off the old one.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your restaurant. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Will it work with our POS?
Usually, yes. We connect to common systems like Square and Lightspeed so orders, menus and stock line up. If yours is holding you back we'll talk options first.
Do we stop paying commission?
On orders and bookings that come through your own website, yes. You pay your card fees and that's it, instead of handing over a cut of every sale.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most restaurants we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
