Hi! We're Hostme. For years we've been the reservation book, the waitlist and the floor plan behind thousands of restaurants — from tiny cafes to growing groups. This update is the biggest thing we have ever shipped: we rebuilt Hostme from scratch. Not repainted buttons — rebuilt. It's noticeably faster, smarter and, honestly, just nicer to use. Everything you had is still here, and most of what you kept asking us for finally is too. What's inside: • Guest book and a real CRM — we remember every guest: visit history, favorite table, allergies, birthdays. Tags and auto-tags sort your guests for you, and from there — segments, campaigns, reports and funnels. A guest walks in a second time and it feels like you've known each other for years. • Floor timeline — the whole day's load at a glance. You instantly see where it's busy, where it's empty and where to seat a party of eight. • Floor plan — drawn like in a proper editor, not a millimeter at a time with the mouse. You can even generate it from a photo or a hand-drawn sketch. • Waitlist done properly — promised wait time, place in line and a call timer, with the guest kept in the loop. • Chats from every channel in one window — SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram and the rest are no longer scattered across ten tabs. • Call history — who called, when and what about. Nothing gets lost. • Dashboard and clear reports — bookings, guests and floor load on one screen. In plain language, no spreadsheets to decode. • "Restaurant today" widget on your Home Screen and Lock Screen: floor occupancy, bookings, requests, the waitlist and the guests worth preparing for — VIPs, birthdays, large parties, allergies. • Online bookings from your website, Instagram, Facebook and Google — with deposits, prepayments and your own cancellation rules. Plus a dark theme, push notifications about bookings, and a search that finds any setting and any help article at once — in a couple of seconds. And what hasn't changed: one simple subscription. No per-cover fees. Ever. Noticed something odd, or got an idea? Write to us — we read every message and fix things fast. Your wins are our wins, and the rough edges are ours to fix. Thanks for being with us. Let's go! — The Hostme team
