How it Works
Welcome to Make a Rezzy - an affordable, user-friendly restaurant reservation platform built for small and independent restaurants in the UK. We started Make a Rezzy because we know the struggle: too often, big reservation services overcharge and overlook the little guys.
Are you tired of paying exorbitant fees to reservation giants like OpenTable or TheFork? You're not alone. At Make a Rezzy, we believe independent restaurants should have access to cost-effective technology that helps them thrive. That's why we offer a simple pricing model of just £1 per cover booked - with zero hidden fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no long-term contracts tying you down.
Our user-friendly online platform makes it easy for diners to discover your restaurant and book a table online in seconds. They get real-time availability and can even save your venue as a favourite for next time. Meanwhile, we work closely with you as a true partner to ensure our solution fits your business, providing personal support at every step.
Don't let high reservation fees hold your business back. Join Make a Rezzy today and start reaching more local diners without breaking the bank. Fill more seats and keep more of your hard-earned revenue where it belongs - in your business.
Why Partner with Make a Rezzy?
Make a Rezzy is an affordable table reservation system for restaurants, designed to bring you more business and simplify your operations. Here are a few key reasons to partner with us:
Affordable Pricing
With our simple pay-as-you-go model of just £1 per cover, you save money that can be invested back into your restaurant. Unlike other restaurant booking platforms, we never charge monthly subscription fees or surprise commissions. If our platform doesn't deliver bookings, you don't pay a penny.
User-Friendly Platform
Our restaurant reservation software is incredibly easy to use for both you and your guests. Diners can find and reserve a table online in seconds, and your staff can manage those bookings effortlessly from an intuitive dashboard. No steep learning curve - if you can send an email, you can use Make a Rezzy.
Partnership Opportunities
We treat every restaurant as a partner, not just a customer. As a founder-led team, we listen to your feedback and can adapt to your unique needs. You're not dealing with a faceless corporation - you're working with people who genuinely care about your success. Expect friendly support, flexibility, and guidance at every turn.
Is This Just Another Restaurant Reservations Platform?
It's easy to assume that Make a Rezzy is just another reservation service in a crowded market. You might wonder, “Is this like OpenTable or Resy, trying to replace my existing setup and take a cut of my profits?” We get the scepticism - many platforms do operate that way. But that's not the case with Make a Rezzy. We're here to complement your current setup and help you grow by bringing in more diners, not to compete with or derail what already works for you. Here's how we do things differently:
1 Works alongside your existing reservations system
Keep your current reservation workflow — we won't ask you to rip out what you have. Whether you use a system like Resy or SevenRooms, a simple Google calendar, or even a pen-and-paper booking diary, you can keep it. Make a Rezzy simply acts as an additional channel to attract online bookings from diners who might otherwise miss your restaurant. We integrate with your operations, instead of forcing you to adapt to ours.
2 No subscription fee
There are no monthly software fees with Make a Rezzy. Many reservation systems charge hefty monthly subscriptions regardless of whether they bring you customers; we think that's unfair. With us, if our platform doesn't send you diners, you don't pay us a penny. It's that simple - no bookings, no charge.
3 Flat fee of just £1 per cover booked
We charge a flat £1 for each guest who books and actually dines. There's no percentage commission skimming off your sales and no sneaky add-ons - just a tiny, predictable cost per seated diner. This flat £1 cover fee means our incentives are aligned with yours: we only succeed when we bring you bookings. No other costs, no hidden fees.
4 Meeting your needs
Our service moulds around your restaurant's needs, not the other way around. Have unique requirements or special requests? We're flexible. From custom seating arrangements to particular notification preferences, we'll do our best to accommodate you. You don't work around us - we work around you, tailoring our system so it fits seamlessly into your everyday workflow.
5 Excellent customer service and support
When you partner with Make a Rezzy, you get direct, personal support from our UK-based team. No call centres or week-long waits for a reply - you'll have a real, friendly person ready to help, whether you're setting up your account, need a quick tip, or have a question down the line. We're with you every step of the way.
6 Builds your online presence
Beyond managing bookings, we also boost your online visibility. Your restaurant will be featured on our dining platform where local food lovers are actively searching for places to eat. In essence, Make a Rezzy doubles as a marketing channel for you - at no extra cost. We help new diners discover your restaurant online, driving more walk-ins and reservations without you having to lift a finger on advertising.
Tailored Reservation Settings
We understand that every restaurant operates a little differently. That's why we offer customisable reservation settings to fit your style. You control all the details: set the maximum party size for online bookings, decide how far in advance people can reserve a table, and define the time intervals between seatings. Make a Rezzy gives you the flexibility to configure our system to match your dining room's flow - think of it like having your own custom restaurant reservation management tool, without the complexity.
We're also continually improving our platform based on feedback from partners like you. If there's a feature that would make our reservation system work even better for your business, we want to hear about it. At Make a Rezzy, we can rapidly implement suggestions. In short, your input matters - we build this service hand-in-hand with the restaurants that use it.
Our Availability System Is Designed to Fit Your Needs
Running a restaurant isn't a strict 9-to-5 job - and our availability management is built with that reality in mind. Simply tell us your standard opening days and hours, and our restaurant booking software will automatically manage your bookable timeslots. Once you've set your schedule, we handle the rest. If your hours change seasonally or you adjust timings, update your settings once and your online reservation availability updates everywhere instantly. You'll never have to worry about a guest booking a table when the restaurant is actually closed.
And we don't stop there. Hosting a special event or planning a holiday closure? It's easy to block off specific dates and times in the system with just a few clicks. Our availability calendar will immediately reflect the change, so you won't receive bookings when you're not open. You can relax knowing no one will slip through the cracks - no awkward double bookings or disappointed customers.
As always, if you have suggestions to make our availability features even better, our team is all ears. We're constantly enhancing Make a Rezzy to better suit your needs, and many of our best improvements have come directly from restaurant owners' ideas. We love building new capabilities that help you succeed.
No Need to Contact Customers Individually
Stop spending your precious time calling or emailing guests about their reservations - we've automated that process for you. We understand running a restaurant keeps you busy, which is why Make a Rezzy takes care of the routine communication so you can focus on what you do best: creating amazing dining experiences.
For example, the moment a diner books a table through our online restaurant reservation system, they receive an instant confirmation email with all the details. If they later cancel, our system immediately sends them a cancellation notice so the slot opens up for someone else. Need to modify a booking? Simply update it in your dashboard - we'll automatically send the guest an email with the new details. It's like having a personal assistant for your reservations, working 24/7 in the background.
This seamless level of automation means you save time and avoid costly errors. No-shows and cancellations are handled gracefully, and your guests stay informed at every step. With Make a Rezzy managing the busywork of confirmations and reminders, you can sit back and let us handle the nitty-gritty. It's one less headache on your plate, so you can concentrate on delighting your diners and running your restaurant.
