Carbonara overview

What is Carbonara?

Carbonara Waitlist and Reservations is a simple and easy-to-use app for restaurants, cafés and bars. You will have full control over your restaurant with the various tools the app offers. With Carbonara, you will have both an innovative digital waitlist as well as a complete reservation system, everything available from your phone.

When tables are full, restaurant operators can list customers in the digital waitlist, include a mobile phone number, and then text the guest when there is a table available.

With Carbonara’s online reservation system your customers can make bookings online either from your website or your social media platform. You can easily schedule which hours and days you want reservations available as well as choosing which tables should be open for reservations.

The Carbonara App updates in real-time so that your whole team is always connected through their phones and has the latest information, whether it is guests on the waitlist or new reservations.

Restaurants that use Carbonara are able to seat more guests and increase overall revenue during busy periods. Let us help you with improving the entire hospitality experience your restaurant can offer.

Carbonara also includes:

- Two-way SMS: Any change of plans? No worries. With two-way SMS you and your customers can always be in touch.

- Dual Language Support: You are able to communicate in both your local language and English for when guests are coming from abroad.

- Table management: Set up tables in the app so you can easily assign parties to specific tables to allow for ease of use.

- Drink Pre-Ordering: Allow customers to pre-order drinks before they step into the restaurant

Statistics email: You can receive an email that provides insight into how the restaurant is operating which allows you to easily see areas of improvement

Notes for requests: Keep track of important customer information and improve customer experience

What do users say about Carbonara?

There isn't the availability yet for multiple users or permission sets, which isn't the end of the world, but it means we don't have the ability to track who made which changes, as our whole team shares one username/password.
