About

Crunchtime Host is a front-of-house guest management solution designed to help restaurants streamline reservations, waitlists, seating, and table operations from a centralized digital platform. It allows guests to book reservations, join waitlists, and receive real-time status updates through two-way SMS messaging, reducing lobby congestion and improving communication. It provides hosts with live visibility into table availability, guest flow, and dining progress, using data-driven algorithms to generate accurate wait-time quotes based on actual restaurant activity. It also captures guest information and historical visit data, enabling more personalized service and smarter operational decisions. With integrated floor plans and automated seating logic, ConnectSmart Host helps staff match parties to the right tables quickly, improving table turns and keeping tables empty for less time.

About

TableLink is a flat-fee restaurant reservation and table management platform built for independent restaurants, launched in 2026 by CR2 Creative (a US studio founded in 2016). Unlike per-cover platforms, TableLink offers month-to-month pricing from $10/mo (annual) or $13/mo (monthly) with no per-cover charges, no annual contracts, and full guest data ownership. Features include online booking, real-time floor plan, waitlist with kiosk self-add, two-way SMS reminders, guest CRM with no-show tracking, custom branded booking pages, and detailed analytics. Built iPad-first for front-of-house staff, with full support across iPhone, Android, and desktop browsers. A 14-day free trial starts with a card (handled securely by Stripe) — no charge during the trial, cancel anytime in one click. For independent and small-group restaurants that want professional reservation software without enterprise contracts, hidden fees, or vendor lock-in.
