About

Chezlist is a waitlist and reservations CMS for restaurants. Guests scan a QR code at the host stand — or tap a link — to join the waitlist from their phone with no app to download, and get an SMS when their table is ready. Staff run the queue from any phone or tablet: add walk-ins, track quoted vs. actual wait times, and seat parties in order. Owners use a web dashboard to provision locations, issue staff passkeys, and brand the guest-facing waitlist page with their own logo. Two tiers: Core is free and covers the core waitlist; Pro adds SMS notifications and lets a restaurant serve its waitlist page from its own subdomain. It targets independent restaurants and small multi-location groups that want an OpenTable-style guest experience without per-cover reservation fees or high monthly fees.

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.
