TablePulse

TablePulse is a mobile + web reservation add-on that helps restaurants backfill last-minute cancellations and no-shows by running a verified standby list. Diners opt into “standby” for specific neighborhoods, cuisines, party sizes, and time windows, then get a short-fuse offer when a table opens. Restaurants set rules (min spend, deposit required, seating duration) and can push a table to standby with one tap from the host stand. Diners confirm instantly with Apple Pay/Google Pay to lock it in, reducing wasted covers without overbooking. The product is intentionally narrow: it does not try to replace the restaurant’s primary reservation system; it plugs in via lightweight integrations and a manual mode for smaller venues. Expect tough sales cycles, but the value is measurable: recovered revenue per reclaimed table and fewer empty seats during peak hours.
