About

Buqq is a streamlined, business-to-business restaurant reservation and table management engine built specifically for hospitality venues in Southeast Asia. The platform takes venues from an initial booking concept to a fully deployed digital operation, featuring a seamless guest booking flow that requires no mandatory diner account creation. It handles complex availability logic and digital calendar management natively, sending instant, real-time booking alerts directly to merchants via a integrated Telegram Bot API channel. Optimized for high-performance and zero unnecessary friction, it includes built-in subscription billing management, allowing local restaurants to run their seating independent of bloated consumer apps or high-commission discovery networks.

About

Porchlight is a cloud-based restaurant booking and operations platform for independent pubs, restaurants and cafés. Its AI phone host, Thomas, answers calls and books tables against live availability, with requests it cannot handle passed to staff as callbacks. Phone, website and Google bookings are brought together in one venue diary with a floor plan. The staff app combines rota management, clock-in, payroll-hour records, tips and food-safety checks, giving venues a shared place to manage bookings and day-to-day staff tasks. The service is designed for independent UK hospitality venues that need to handle reservations during busy service as well as when the venue is closed. Thomas recognises regular callers and remembers their usual table. Live at The Kings Head, Tealby since August 2026. Every venue gets a 14-day free trial, and we’ll visit anywhere in the UK to set it up.
