The Problem In Restaurant Booking Apps
Gone are the days of calling and making appointments or reservations because now everyone expects even simple tasks to be done instantly with a button. Over 75% of Americans now own a smartphone, which makes digital applications crucial to the success of any business, including bars and restaurants. Understanding this new trend and utilizing smartphones’ reach can play an important role in the overall success of your establishment.
- Issues with booking the tables at the restaurant
- Not having the facility to pre-order from the menu
- Losing customers because of the lack of a delivery service
- The hassles faced by guests when ordering online
- The lack of major steps to improve user experience
Booking systems: Advantages for restaurants and customers In the restaurant
Open tables are a trend in restaurants nowadays. How does it work? Every restaurant has to pay electricity bills & taxes. To keep profits low, a restaurant owner needs to find a way to fill the empty seats at their restaurants. It’s possible to do this with a mobile application for restaurant bookings.
Solution for restaurant owners
- Taking bookings 24/7
- Manage waiting list easily
- Easy tracking of booked tables, customers, and menus
- Reducing the workload
- Notify customers for their booking via mobile app without any hassle
- Customer retention via showing offers and various loyalty programs
Solution for customers
- No refusing of phone calls
- Reading reviews before booking
- Booking tables at any time
- Preordering food and drinks from the menu
- Paying in advance
- Guests can easily plan their time
- I want to meet fellow architects. How can I do that?

Market Analysis
In my competitors’ analysis, I found that other solutions offer benefits that fail to touch the primary user’s pain points. The solutions available in the market are costly and not easy to use. The market needs simple, elegant, and usable restaurant booking software that can boost sales.
- Problems in existing applications:
- Hard-to-use because of a bad UX
- Delete negative reviews
- Add extra changes to the bill
- Cancel reservation without any notice
Target Audience
Book a table in restaurants designed for women and men aged 24 to 55, living mainly in large cities, and a target audience with an average and above average salary:
- Office workers and managers (trips on business trips)
- Entrepreneurs (Booking a table for meeting with partners)
- People living a luxury lifestyle
- Freelancers
- People working in small and medium-sized businesses (Employees of those companies who give food vouchers)
