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.

About

VenueStack is an all-in-one platform for nightclubs, lounges, beach clubs, festivals and event venues. Venues sell tickets, take table reservations with deposits, and sell multi-entry passes from one branded booking page that can also be embedded on their own website. Guests pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through the venue's own Stripe account, and keep tickets and passes in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. On the night, staff scan tickets and passes from a phone or iPad, even when the connection drops, count the door, and run the floor from a live table map with deposits, server assignments and guest notes. Pulse alerts the team to unanswered requests, unpaid deposits and waiting chats. VenueStack also includes a guest CRM, customer accounts, email campaigns, guest chat with an AI concierge, tracking links, ad pixels, and ticket, table, pass and door reports. One plan includes every feature.
