Using ResDiary?
Keep it.

ResDiary already reminds your guests and can hold a card. GhostBookings adds the part between the reminder and the arrival: knowing which bookings to chase, and hearing back in time to refill the table.

What ResDiary does, and what GhostBookings adds

WHAT RESDIARY ALREADY DOES

  • Reminders by email and textEmail reminders with a confirm link, and text reminders as a paid add-on. Source
  • Card guarantees and depositsCard details held securely, deposits, and no-show fees. Source
  • A standby listW8List, for filling cancelled tables. Source

Keep using all of it. GhostBookings doesn’t replace any of these.

WHAT GHOSTBOOKINGS ADDS

  • Which bookings to ask aboutA reminder goes to everyone. A score picks out the handful of bookings worth a direct question tonight, and leaves the rest alone.
  • An answer, not just a messageThe guest replies YES or NO, or presses 1 or 2 on a call, and your host sees it on the desk.
  • Time to refill the tableA NO at 3pm reaches the floor while there’s still time to offer that table to someone else.

HOW YOUR BOOKINGS WOULD REACH US

Checked first.
Promised second.

ResDiary can send us each new booking, change and cancellation as it happens. Any venue can ask ResDiary’s support team to switch that on.

We’ll walk you through the request, then rehearse a full service on test bookings before any guest hears from you.
