Before
Crossed out lines, changes and details that go missing.
One time change or one phone call is enough to blur the picture of the whole evening.

Why BookArrive
Built for the Greek restaurant, not adapted to it.
Most reservation platforms are built abroad, charge you for every guest and pull your guests into their own app. BookArrive started on the floor of a Greek restaurant, and it stays there.

The shift
After midnight
TypicallyA 00:30 booking lands on the next day and drops out of tonight.
It belongs to the night it started in, the way a bar or a taverna really works.
Joining tables
TypicallyOnly the combinations set up in advance.
Push together any tables you like on the floor plan, even for a party bigger than the seats.
A taken table
TypicallyThe system simply says no.
It asks you, tells you who is sitting there, and lets you decide or move them first.
The host screen
TypicallyYou refresh the page to see what changed.
It updates itself on tablet, phone and computer, with buttons made for fingers.
History
TypicallyNobody knows who changed a booking, or when.
Every change on record, in plain words: who, when and what.
Your guests' experience
Emails
TypicallyOne ready-made template, in one language.
You write them, in Greek and English, with a live preview. Every guest receives them in their own language.
Deposits
TypicallyForeign payment providers, and a platform fee on top of the amount.
By card, through your own bank: Alpha Bank, Eurobank, National Bank of Greece, Nexi Payments and Viva, or Stripe and PayPal. We take nothing.
Allergies and menu
TypicallyA note at the end of the booking, if anyone reads it.
The booking asks about dietary needs, and the host sees them on it. A QR menu with allergens, in the same system.
Working together
Support
TypicallyA ticket form, answered by a call centre abroad.
You talk to the people who build it. What a restaurant asks for often ships within days.
The comparison reflects what is typical of international reservation platforms. Each provider's terms differ.

The host stand screen
The right information, the moment your team needs it.
Instead of digging through notebooks, messages and separate lists, your staff sees the flow of the shift in one place and updates any booking with a single tap.
- Arrived, running late, finished or no-show
- Table availability in real time
- Walk-in guests added in seconds
- A waitlist with a clear order of priority
The shift updates itself
Live
From paper to a real picture
Less searching. Fewer mistakes on the floor.
BookArrive does not change the way you host your guests. It simply brings order to everything that until now lived on paper, in phone calls and in scribbled notes.
With BookArrive
Every booking has a table, a status and a history.
The team sees what has changed and what the next right move is, without losing time.
The features that get used every day
Everything the host stand needs. Nothing that slows it down.
The core features are built around the shift, not around complicated admin menus.
Live availability
Guests only see the times you can genuinely serve, and availability updates the moment a booking changes.
Floor plan and table combinations
You define which tables can be joined, which are temporarily out of use and where each party can sit.
Walk-ins and waitlist
Add guests who arrive without a booking straight away, and turn a party on the waitlist into a booking with one click.
Guest profiles
Your team sees previous visits, preferences, allergies and internal notes before the guest arrives.
Special dates and hours
Set holidays, New Year's Eve, different booking durations or days when the venue stays closed.
Multiple venues
Each venue has its own tables, shifts and staff, while everything is managed from a single account.
Floor plan
See your restaurant exactly as it is.
The floor plan shows clearly which tables are free, taken or blocked, and helps the host stand decide quickly where the next party will sit.
- Table combinations for larger parties
- Separate areas such as the dining room, the courtyard or the bar
- Temporary table blocking whenever you need it
Waitlist
When a table opens up, you know exactly who is next.
The waitlist keeps the party details, the number of guests, the time they want and the area they prefer. The moment a table frees up, the information is ready.
- Added straight from the same booking form
- Turned into a confirmed booking with one tap
- Fewer parties lost during peak hours
Confidence in day to day use
Reservation system for restaurants, built for the busiest hour of the night.
The system keeps a clean history and protects the flow of the shift, so your team can stay focused on the guests.
Protection against double bookings
If two guests pick the same slot at the same moment, only the booking that is completed first goes through.
A full history of changes
You see who changed a booking, when the change happened and which details were updated.
Guest notifications that matter
Guests get a confirmation, a cancellation or a meaningful change, without a stream of repetitive emails.
Your data stays yours
No competitors are shown next to your restaurant, and there is no commission per booking or per guest.
The core screens
See the tool your team will use every day.
Clear information, large touch targets and fast actions, built for the host stand on a tablet or a computer.

Frequently asked questions
What you need to know before you start.
Can our existing bookings be moved over?
Yes. Existing bookings can be imported into BookArrive so the switch happens in an organised way, without losing important information.

Are Greek and English supported?

What if I have more than one venue?
Each venue has its own tables, staff, opening hours and settings. Everything is managed from a single account with special pricing.
