For restaurants

Fuller tables. More regulars.

Text guests when their table is ready, take reservations, reward repeat visits and ask diners for a review, all by text and/or email from one dashboard. Guests never have to download an app.

  • No buzzers: guests wait wherever they like and get a message when their table is ready.
  • Regulars earn rewards on their phone, with no punch cards to lose.
  • Diners with a problem can tell you privately, so you can make it right.

How it works in a restaurant

Six moments that keep tables full

Each message goes out by text and/or email, whichever your guests prefer, and every reply lands in one inbox.

Friday, 7 pm Waitlist

A waitlist without buzzers

Guests join the waitlist from a QR code or at the host stand, then wait at the bar or take a walk. One tap tells them their table is ready.

Your table for 4 is ready! Please head to the host stand.

Be right there

The day before Reservations

Reservations with reminders

Guests request a table online and get a confirmation and a reminder by text and/or email, so fewer tables sit empty on your busiest nights.

Reminder: table for 2 tomorrow at 7:30 pm. Reply YES to confirm or NO to cancel.

Questions restaurants ask

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Messages arrive by text and/or email. Guests can also log in to your page at thanku.deals with a one-time code to see their rewards, offers and messages. There’s no app and no password.

Do we still need our buzzers?

No. Guests get a text when their table is ready, so they can wait at the bar, in the car or down the street.

Do we have to change our POS?

No. Staff check guests in from any phone, tablet or computer at the host stand or register, and rewards add up from there.

What does texting cost?

Growth and Pro include 1,000 texts a month for each location (500 during the free trial); more are 2¢ each. Starter doesn’t include texting. A text longer than 160 characters counts as 2 or more, the way phone carriers bill it. Email is included in every plan.
