In a world of hyper-venture-capital-fueled startups, eTender Guestplan was built for the long term. We pay our bills and fund new developments with the revenue from our products, and we've been profitable since day one. Thanks to all our great users, we build exceptional reservation systems.

Tablejoy is the host app for restaurants that want to actually run their service. Open it and instantly see who's arriving, which tables are free, and what needs you right now — built for the way restaurants actually run. No clunky back office. Tablejoy lives on the floor: on the iPhone in your pocket during service, on the iPad at the pass. Your service at a glance — a live read on covers, holds and confirmed parties, with the next arrival, its table and notes front and centre. A floor plan that thinks — drag guests to the right table, per seat and per room, with occupied / upcoming / free status in a single look. Every guest, every detail — allergies, deposits, special occasions and past visits, all in one place. A timeline for the whole evening — see the full service over time and plan for the rush before it lands. Fewer no-shows — per-service deposits and automatic reminders keep your covers locked in. Tablejoy pairs with the reservation widget on your own website — bookings that stay on your site, in your own brand. Reserve. Manage. Delight.
