DerbyFlow

Works with the rest of DerbyFlow.

Questions owners ask.

Does Derby charge per cover?

No. Derby charges nothing for the tables you book, however busy you get.

Where do guests book?

On your own website, through a booking page and a widget we add for you.

Can we approve bookings before they’re confirmed?

Yes. Confirm instantly, or hold every booking as a request until someone on your team says yes.

What about parties too big to book online?

They see your note and a tap-to-call number instead of a dead button, so the call comes to you.

Do guests get reminders?

They get a confirmation email right away, a reminder the day before if you turn it on, and a review request after their visit. Once your texting is set up, confirmations can go by text too.

Can we take a deposit or a card to hold a table?

Not yet. For now, big bookings are best handled with a call or as a private event.

Does it replace OpenTable or Resy?

It gives you bookings on your own site with no per-cover fees. It doesn’t sync with OpenTable or Resy today, so plenty of restaurants run it alongside them.

Which package includes reservations?

Every package. Reservations are part of DerbyFlow, which comes with every Derby Digital package.
