A restaurant booking system with a live floor plan
Online reservations and walk-ins on one floor plan, checked in real time so a table is never booked twice for the same time.
Built for restaurants and cafés in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf: guests book in Arabic or English, and staff see bookings and walk-ins on the same floor plan.
Set it up yourself in minutes — no sales call, and bookings are included on the Free plan.
Every table, accounted for
Draw your floor plan once and it becomes your table management system: every reservation and walk-in lives on it — and AlaMenu never seats two parties at the same table.
Visual floor-plan editor
Lay out sections and tables to match your dining room — bilingual names, real seat counts.
Bookings and walk-ins, one screen
Online reservations land next to the walk-ins your staff seat from the dashboard — no second system, no paper book.
No double-seating, ever
Every table is checked in real time, so two bookings never collide on the same table.
Confirmations on WhatsApp and email
A WhatsApp message goes out automatically when a booking is received, confirmed, or cancelled — no staff member has to remember to send it.
In the guest's language
Every message carries English and Arabic together, so guests read it in their own language either way.
Email backs it up
Guests who leave an email address get the same confirmation there too — a written record beyond the chat.
Your number, or ours
On Premium, messages come from your own WhatsApp Business number; on other plans, AlaMenu sends them for you.
How a booking happens
The guest books
From your menu page, guests pick a date, time, and party size — no app, no phone call. Your staff add walk-ins from the dashboard.
You confirm
The request appears on your floor plan with the table checked in real time — confirm it in one click, conflict-free.
WhatsApp confirms it
The guest gets a WhatsApp confirmation in English and Arabic, and by email too if they left one. Cancellations message them as well.
