About

Bzz is a digital waitlist, queue management, and reservation platform for restaurants, fast-casual venues, food halls, and multi-location groups. Guests join the list with a QR code scan or NFC tap, with no app download or SMS fees required, and receive a real-time browser-based buzzer with audio, push, and vibration alerts when their table is ready. While guests wait, Bzz serves targeted in-wait marketing such as drink specials and appetizer upsells to increase average spend before seating. Staff manage walk-ins and online reservations from a single dashboard featuring a drag-and-drop floor plan editor, real-time occupancy tracking, two-way guest chat, GPS-verified presence, and analytics on wait times and peak hours. Bzz supports white-label branding and offers a free plan alongside paid tiers with additional buzzers, custom branding, advertising, and analytics.

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.
