Board Update
July 4
Seven customers closed, four already live — on a finished Service View, a new scheduling engine, a rebuilt floor plan editor, modular onboarding, per-venue branding, and Reserve with Google in production
Seven closed, four already live
Service View, finished
Waitlist, walk-ins, the door list, and no-shows — the whole floor is now covered end to end.
One place to run the schedule
Hours, capacity, pacing, closures, pauses, overnight services — set once, and the booking engine obeys.
Onboarding & Google
Faster, modular setup with a Go Live checklist — plus Reserve with Google now running in production.
Service View, finished
The last piece of the live floor — waitlist, walk-ins, the door list, and no-shows, all beside the floor plan
Waitlist
Guests scan a QR to join and get a text when ready — tap the floor to seat, full lifecycle on the rail.
Walk-ins
Tap any empty table and a compact panel seats the party in seconds — no full form.
Door / guest list
A fast tick sheet for running the door — who's expected, who's inside, one tap to check in.
No-shows
See no-shows, free the table, and get alerted the moment a seat opens for the next party.
One place to run the schedule
A full-page service editor and a calendar that the whole booking engine obeys
Set up a service, all in one page
Hours, color, a hard cover cap, and pacing per slot — plus pause without deleting, and overnight or different-per-day hours.
Close a day, a week, or a range
Block a holiday, a private event, or a renovation in a couple of clicks — bookings and Google both stop taking those times.
Design your room, exactly
A rebuilt floor plan editor — draw tables, zones, and walls, and arrange the room to match the real space
Draw the room directly
Draw and shape tables, chairs, zones, walls, and objects — a real drawing tool, not a rigid grid.
Copy, paste, and snap
Duplicate a table or a whole section and snap it into place — a full layout in minutes.
Powers the live floor
Whatever you build here drives the Service View floor and the seating suggestions during service.
Set up in minutes, only what you need
Redesigned first-run — switch on the modules you use, and a Go Live checklist walks you to launch
Minutes, not an afternoon
A cleaner, faster first-run flow — from sign-up to taking real bookings.
Switch on what you need
Turn modules on à la carte — no small venue forced through features it will never use.
A Go Live checklist
Walks each venue through the must-haves before opening — nobody launches half-configured.
The first venues live — each its own brand
Same product underneath, four different front doors — every venue's widget and shared links carry its own colors, logo, and cover
Shared links look like the venue, not like Covers
Post or text a booking link and the preview now unfurls with the venue's own cover, name, and favicon — not a generic grey box — so it looks trustworthy the moment it lands in a guest's messages or feed.
Reserve with Google — into production
Two weeks ago the sandbox was complete. Now it runs in production, and venues enroll themselves through settings.
Real data, real feeds
Production is wired with real venue feeds and structured addresses — the same booking flow guests will use, now on the live instance.
Venues enroll themselves
A venue turns Reserve with Google on from its channel settings — no manual back-end setup per restaurant anymore.
Only bookable times shown
Covers only advertises slots a venue can actually take, so Google never offers a time that would bounce.
Integration status — production, awaiting Google's review
The safety net, and a faster web
A test harness that proves the app end to end, plus a web performance and branding pass
journeys that prove the app
Book, seat, cancel, invite, onboard, take a widget booking — each runs the real app against a live database and checks the data landed. If one breaks, the change can't ship.
A faster web
Self-hosted fonts, per-page titles, and pre-rendered pages so venue and booking pages load noticeably faster — and the sign-in screens were rebuilt.
A pipeline that fails loud
The build and deploy pipeline was hardened so a broken change is caught and flagged, not silently slipped through to customers.
Why it matters now
With paying customers live, this is how we ship every day without ever breaking their service — the foundation under all the visible work.
What's next
Onboard the first customers, get Google switched on, and keep widening what a venue can control
Onboard the first customers
Get them fully live and happy, and turn every rough edge straight back into the product.
Switch on the Google channel
Push Reserve with Google through Google's production review so booking goes live on Search & Maps.
Per-night layouts & staff roles
Lay the room out differently per night, and give owners control over who on the team can do what.
Keep the harness green
Grow the automated test coverage so we keep shipping daily to live customers without breaking service.
