01
Your room, not a generic floor plan.
Draw your floors as they really are: the bar, the kitchen, the tree out front. Tables show chairs, so an empty chair is an empty seat. Staff orient in a second.
Bookings & Floor manager
Your room, the way it actually works.
Checkin Bookings runs the whole floor from an iPad. Online bookings arrive from your venue’s own page, walk-ins are seated or waitlisted in a tap, and when a party arrives Checkin Intelligence suggests the best free table for them. Cap covers every 15 minutes when the kitchen needs a breather.
How it works
What Checkin does during service.
Six things your floor team uses every shift, from the first online booking to the last table turned.
02
Seat people in one move.
Arrivals land in a tray. Drag them onto a table to seat them. Walk-ins are seated or waitlisted in a tap. Waiting guests change colour, so nobody is forgotten at the door.
03
Pacing you can change mid-service.
Set how many guests the kitchen takes every 15 minutes. Short-staffed on a Tuesday? Turn it down from the iPad. Big Friday? Turn it up. Online bookings follow the cap automatically.
04
Every booking, findable in seconds.
Someone rings to move next Thursday’s booking. Search their name, pick a new time from the open slots, or cancel it. Week and month views show what’s coming at a glance.
05
Confirmations that look after themselves.
Every guest gets an email with a link to change or cancel their booking, so fewer calls reach the floor mid-service. Add SMS confirmations if your guests prefer a text.
06
Runs on the iPad you already have.
There’s nothing to install. Open it in the browser, pair the iPad by scanning a code from your dashboard, and every paired iPad stays in sync through the night.
The floor at a glance
Every table tells you where it is up to.
The chairs show who is seated, the rim shows what is booked, and the party wears its name. Staff read the room in a second.
Free
A thin rim and empty chairs. The table steps back until it is needed.
Booked for 3:30 pm
A dashed rim and the booking time, so staff know if a walk-in fits before the party arrives.
Seated
The cloth goes down, the chairs fill and the party's name sits on the table.
One seat spare
A party of three at a four top. The empty chair is the message.

Frequently asked questions.
No. Checkin doesn’t charge per booking, per cover or per guest, however busy you get. A packed Saturday costs you the same as a quiet Tuesday. Bookings come straight from your own venue page, so there’s no marketplace in the middle taking a cut of your regulars.
Pricing depends on which Checkin Places products you switch on, and there’s never a sign-up fee. Most venues start with bookings and add ordering or a website later. We’ll walk you through the options in a demo and show you exactly what your venue would pay before you commit to anything.
No. Guests book from your venue’s page in any browser, on any phone or computer, in a few taps. There’s nothing to download and no account to create. They get an email confirmation straight away, with a link to change or cancel the booking themselves if their plans change.
Yes. Your Checkin page has one link that does everything, so put it in your Instagram bio, on your Google listing and on your existing website. Wherever guests find you, they land on the same booking page, and every booking appears on the iPad and in your dashboard straight away.
Yes. Staff can add a booking from the dashboard or the iPad while the guest is still on the line, choosing from the times that are actually free. Phone bookings, online bookings and walk-ins all sit together, so nobody is working from a paper book and a screen at the same time.
No. Any iPad with a web browser works, including the one you already have behind the bar. There’s nothing to install. Pair it by scanning a code from your dashboard and it’s ready for service. Add more iPads the same way, and they all stay in sync through the night.
