Built for UK restaurants

Bookings, floor, till and kitchen.One app.

Why Slotivo

Every feature is there to earn or save you money

Margins in hospitality are thin. Slotivo is built around the places where restaurants lose revenue: empty tables, no-shows, slow turns, waste and admin.

Premium dates sold upfront

Sell Mother's Day, Christmas Day and other big dates at a fixed per-person price, with full payment or a deposit taken when guests book.

More covers from the same room

Smart table allocation, joins, pacing and waitlist resale fill seats that first-come seating leaves empty.

Fewer no-shows

Deposits, card guarantees, email and SMS reminders, and one-tap cancel links that release tables early.

Faster table turns

A touch till, split bills, course firing and kitchen timers keep each service moving.

Less waste, fewer comps

Kitchen notes, sold-out items, held-course prep and VOID tickets stop dishes being cooked for nobody.

Less admin

Bookings, reminders, waitlist offers and rebooking run on their own, so staff stay on the floor.

No commission, no lock-in

Guests book direct through your own channels, and your guest data exports to CSV whenever you like.

Extra food sales

Prepaid collection and delivery orders through your own ordering page, with kitchen limits that protect dine-in service.

Online bookings

Take bookings while you're closed, or too busy to pick up

Your own booking page shows only the times that really fit: opening hours, table sizes, dining durations, reset buffers and arrival pacing are all taken into account.

  • Branded booking link, website embed and printable QR code for table cards
  • Standard card, horizontal booking bar or compact sidebar, with live style previews
  • Lunch and dinner services, special dates and bank holidays handled properly
  • Full date? Guests see the nearest dates with space, or join the waitlist
  • Every confirmation carries a private change-or-cancel link
Public booking page: /widget/your-venue on a phone: party size, date and available times.

Your website

A booking form that fits your restaurant

Choose a standard card, a horizontal booking bar or a compact sidebar. Match your colours, font, corners and logo in a live preview, then copy the embed code.

  • Readable button text adjusts to your accent colour
  • Light or dark backgrounds
  • The booking bar opens a full booking dialog
  • Script and plain iframe embeds
Widget layout and style picker: Settings with layout, accent colour and branding controls beside the live widget preview.

Deposits and no-show protection

Guests who've paid turn up

Take a fixed or per-person deposit through Stripe, paid straight into your own Stripe account. On quieter dates, ask for a saved card instead and charge a no-show fee only if you need to.

  • Deposits applied to the final bill automatically at the till
  • Partial refunds tracked against Stripe
  • Unpaid checkouts hold a table briefly, then release it
  • Reminders by email and SMS the day before
Deposit checkout: Booking details for a party of eight, with the £80 deposit to pay before the table is confirmed.

Events

Sell your busiest days at a set price, paid before the night

Put Mother's Day, Father's Day or Christmas Day on your booking page as an event with a per-person price and a set menu. The event can take the whole day or just a window, such as the evening, and normal tables stay bookable outside it.

  • Take full payment, a per-person deposit, or payment on the day
  • Optional cover cap so the kitchen is never oversold
  • Events page shows covers sold, booked value and money paid upfront
  • Event bills open with the set menu, and prepayments are redeemed at the till
  • Staff record course choices, with prep totals and no extra charge for included dishes
Events page: A Christmas Day event: per-person price, time window, covers sold against the cap and booked value.

Floor plan and tables

One floor plan runs bookings, the host stand and the till

Draw your rooms with tables, walls, doors and pillars. Set which tables can join and how many each one seats, and Slotivo minimises unused seats across current bookings while respecting staff locks.

  • Automatic allocation that reshuffles future bookings to make room
  • Pin a regular to their favourite table without turning allocation off
  • Hold tables back for walk-ins, or cap online covers per day
  • Close a table or room for private hire, and affected bookings move
Floor plan builder: Admin → Layout: a dining room with round and square tables, walls and a door.

Front of house

See the whole service at a glance

Today's bookings, arrivals and seating status sit on the live floor plan. The table diary shows the gaps you can sell to walk-ins or offer to the waitlist.

  • Seat walk-ins and waiting guests straight onto the plan
  • Confirmed, seated, completed and no-show, tracked per booking
  • Floor view refreshes itself every 30 seconds
Service view: Tonight's list beside the live floor plan, with seated and due tables coloured.

Point of sale

Reservations + Till and Multi-venue

A till new staff can use on their first shift

Colour-coded menu tiles, one-tap items and a three-pane layout built for iPad or desktop. Bills sit on floor-plan tables, so nobody charges the wrong one.

  • Item options with prices, so upsells are always charged
  • Split evenly or by item, with a fair share of service and discount
  • Card, cash and deposit payments, with change due
  • Staff sign on to a shared iPad with their own code, and it locks itself when left
  • Every void, refund and discount needs a reason, kept in the Till log
  • Cash-up and Z-report at the end of the night
Touch till: iPad landscape: category tiles, the menu grid and an open bill for Table 4.

Kitchen and bar

Reservations + Till and Multi-venue

Tickets the pass can read across the room

Orders split into kitchen and bar tickets automatically. Timers turn amber at 10 minutes and red at 20, so late tables show up before guests complain.

  • Starters go straight away and mains wait to be fired, or send everything together
  • Held courses show in a “coming up” lane so chefs can prep ahead
  • Mark an item sold out (86) and it can't be rung up anywhere
  • Kitchen logins see the kitchen screen and nothing else
Kitchen display: Full-screen tickets with an amber timer, a red one, and the held-course lane.

Printers and card machines

Reservations + Till and Multi-venue

Plug in the printer and card machine you already know

Pick your exact model in Settings and follow the steps for it, with your own address or code filled in. The page turns green when the device connects, so there's no engineer visit.

  • Cloud receipt and kitchen printers with nothing to install
  • The small Slotivo Bridge drives most other network and USB thermal printers
  • Held courses print as “prep, don't cook”, and firing prints a FIRE slip
  • Card sends the exact amount to a Stripe or Square card machine, and the bill settles itself
  • Refunds go back to the guest's card from the till
Printer and card machine setup: Settings → Printers & card machines: a printer model chosen, with its setup steps and a green Connected badge.

Collection and delivery

Add-on for till plans

Takeaway orders on your own page, cooked when the kitchen has room

Customers order and pay for today at your own ordering page, for collection or delivery by your own drivers. Paid orders reach the kitchen and bar screens when it's time to cook them, not all at once.

  • One menu, with collection and delivery prices, descriptions and allergens
  • Your hours, delivery postcodes, fees and minimum spend
  • Limits on orders and food every 15 minutes, and a pause when the dining room is full
  • Pause collection, delivery or both from the kitchen in one tap
  • Customers track their order and can cancel for a full refund before it's cooked
  • No commission per order: payment goes to your own Stripe account
Takeaway ordering page: /order/your-venue on a phone: collection or delivery and the menu by category.

Guests and reports

Know your regulars, and where money is leaking

Guest profiles collect visits, no-shows, tags, notes and spend from settled bills. Reports show covers, sales, no-shows, discounts and which channels bring bookings, venue by venue or side by side.

  • Marketing consent recorded for UK GDPR and PECR
  • CSV import from your old system, CSV export any time
  • Duplicate merges and erasure requests without a developer
  • Closed trading days locked and exported as CSV for your accountant
Guest profile and reports: A regular's profile with visits, spend, no-shows and upcoming bookings.

Control and reliability

Safe to hand to casual staff

Only managers can give money away, every void and refund is traceable, and access ends when someone leaves. Till-only staff sign on with a code instead of a login, invitations expire and staff reset their own passwords.

Roles for every job

Owner, Manager, Host, Server and Kitchen each see only what they need, and the Team page shows exactly what each can do.

Audit trail

Every void, refund, discount and price change needs a reason, and the Till log shows who, when and why.

No double-bookings or double charges

Bookings and bills are protected when two people act at once, and payments are idempotent.

Messages that don't fail silently

Email, SMS, reminders and refunds retry automatically, and staff can see anything stuck.

Multi-site

Compare every site without a spreadsheet

Covers, sales, no-shows, refunds, discounts and booking sources for each venue, or all of them side by side.

One login covers every venue you own or work at, so managers and staff who move between sites don't juggle accounts.

Multi-venue plan

All-venues report: Two sites compared: covers, sales, no-show rate and booking source.

What is Slotivo? A tour of the app

Bookings, floor plan, till and kitchen screens in one place. Here's what each part does and how they fit together.

Switching to Slotivo

Replace your POS with Slotivo

What the Slotivo till does, what it replaces, what it doesn't do yet, and how to switch without disrupting service.

Switching to Slotivo

Moving away from OpenTable: what you could save

Work out what your booking platform costs a year, compare it with Slotivo, and plan a switch that doesn't lose a single booking.

Questions restaurants ask

Does Slotivo take a commission on bookings?+

No. Guests book through your own booking page, website embed, social links and QR codes. Deposits go to your own Stripe account.

Does the till connect to my card machine?+

Yes, with Stripe and Square card machines: the till sends the exact amount and the bill settles itself when the guest pays. Dojo is on the way. Payments on any other machine can still be recorded by hand, and deposits taken online are applied to the bill automatically.

Does it print tickets or work offline?+

The kitchen and bar can run on screens, printers or both. Cloud printers from Star and Epson connect with nothing to install, and the small Slotivo Bridge drives most other thermal printers. Slotivo needs an internet connection.

Can customers order collection or delivery?+

Yes, with the £10 a month takeaway ordering add-on on a till plan. Customers order and pay for today on your own ordering page, with no commission per order. You set the hours, delivery postcodes, fees and kitchen limits, and delivery is by your own drivers.

Can I bring my guest list with me?+

Yes. Import guests from CSV, and export them again whenever you want. It's your data.

We run more than one site. Does that work?+

Yes. Each venue has its own floor plan, menu and team, and the all-venues report compares sites side by side. One login covers every site.

Is it built for the UK?+

Yes. VAT on receipts, UK GDPR consent records, SMS reminders and correct handling when the clocks change.

Can I sell Christmas Day or Mother's Day as a set-menu event?+

Yes, on every plan. Set a per-person price and set menu, choose whether guests pay in full, pay a deposit or pay on the day, and cap the covers if you like. Events can run past midnight into the next day, and staff record set-menu choices per booking for kitchen prep totals. Choices appear on the bill without an extra charge.

Is the Reservations plan really free?+

Yes, for one venue, with no card needed. It includes online bookings, the floor plan, deposits, reminders, guests and reports. Add the till or more venues when you need them.

Can I change or cancel my plan?+

Any time, from the Plan & billing page. Plans are monthly with no contract. Upgrades start straight away and are charged pro rata. Moving to free takes effect at the end of the month you've paid for, and you can undo it before then.

What happens if my card payment fails?+

Your plan keeps running while Stripe retries the card, so you're not cut off in the middle of service.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?+

Nothing is deleted. Venues over the new plan's limit are paused, which stops online booking and staff access, and they come straight back if you upgrade again.
