    About Now Book It

    Now Book It is a table reservation platform for hospitality venues. A booking widget on your website and social pages takes reservations, and floor plans update as bookings come in.

    A waitlist handles standby bookings with automated reminders. The built-in CRM sends email and SMS campaigns to bring guests back, and reporting gives you answers and end-of-day summaries.

    It takes deposits, full prepayments and card holds through Stripe or EzyPay, and connects with point of sale systems such as Square, Lightspeed and Tyro. An AI receptionist answers calls and takes bookings around the clock, and multi-venue groups get shared reporting and guest data.

    Pricing: The vendor states pricing is a flat monthly subscription with no per-booking, cover or commission fees. Payment providers such as Stripe charge their own transaction fees. A free demo is available.
