03Dining
Every table, every turn, every note.
Reservations from your own website, a table plan that knows how long a table takes, and the note the kitchen needs before the guest sits down. Service stays yours; the bookkeeping of a full room does not.

20:30Second seating. The kitchen reads the note.
01The day
Second seating is at half past eight. The night was decided at noon.
A full room is a schedule: who arrives when, how long they stay, who didn’t come last time, and what the kitchen needs to know before the first plate.
What running it involves
- 12:00The bookReservations by phone, by message, by a widget — three lists, one room.
- 16:30The planWhich party at which table, how long a turn takes, where the walk-ins go.
- 19:00The noteThe allergy, the anniversary, the regular who likes the corner.
- 20:30The no-showA four-top held for twenty minutes, the waitlist that already left.
- 23:45The numbersCovers, revenue, what the night actually made.
What Solera removes from your plate

- —Kitchen notes per guestWhat the kitchen needs is on the reservation, and it stays with the guest next time.
- —Waitlist and no-show trackingThe waitlist is a list, not a memory; no-shows are recorded.
- —The numbers you can readCovers and revenue live, not reconstructed at the end of the month.
02The fit
Four products, set up for a room.
The same system every Solera client runs — with the dining parts switched on and named the way your floor names them.
The console
Reservations, waitlist, table plan, turn times and kitchen notes — one screen for the floor, on a phone at the door. Shown to you with your tables in it.
Your website
A fast site we design, build and host. The reservation form writes into the book — in the guest’s language.
The assistant
Answers guests from live availability — “is there a table for four at eight?” — and takes the reservation. In the console, moves tables and sends reminders from a sentence.
The wallet
A confirmed table as an Apple or Google Wallet pass — date, time, party — updated if the time moves.
03Where we stand
Built. Not yet in a dining room.
The dining parts of Solera — reservations, table plan, turn times, kitchen notes — are live in the system. We don’t yet run a restaurant on it, and we won’t pretend otherwise. If yours is the first, you set it up with us, with your names in it.
