BookDinePlay is live: the booking channel your bar, restaurant or game room actually owns

Today we're flipping the switch on our newest product: BookDinePlay is live. It's the reservation platform for the places people actually go to dine, drink, watch and play — restaurants, bars, pubs, game cafés and event spaces. And it takes bookings not just for tables, but for billiard tables, dart boards and every other resource on your floor.

Stop running reservations out of your phone

Most independent venues still run reservations out of a phone, a pile of social-media DMs and a paper book behind the bar. It works right up until it doesn't: two parties booked onto the same table on a Friday night, a pool table nobody wrote down, a birthday that never made it into the calendar. Every no-show is a table you could have sold twice.

BookDinePlay replaces the phone-and-paper routine with one booking engine for the whole venue — and puts it on your own website, in your own branding, with the guest data staying firmly with you.

One booking engine for the whole venue

• Table reservations. Take direct restaurant, bar and pub bookings with live availability across the entire floor.
• Game & entertainment bookings. Reserve billiard tables, dart boards, shuffleboard and more, side by side with tables — one unified engine for dine, drink, watch and play.
• Flexible hours & special days. Model regular opening hours, holidays and one-off events, so availability always mirrors how your venue really runs.
• Menus & VAT-aware pricing. Manage menus and prices with correct VAT handling built in.
• Optional deposits. Collect a deposit at the time of booking to cut down on no-shows.
• Live availability. Guests see exactly what's free, in real time, across tables and games at once.

Your brand, your data — not a marketplace

Marketplace apps rent you your own customers and take a cut of every cover. BookDinePlay is the opposite bet: it's the booking channel your venue actually owns. The booking flow lives on your site, in your branding, and your guests never get handed off to a third-party portal. There's no per-cover commission — and your guest data stays yours, which matters just as much for GDPR as it does for filling seats next week.

Three ways to integrate

BookDinePlay is built to drop into whatever stack your website already runs on:

• Plain JavaScript. A single, framework-free script tag — paste it in and the widget appears.
• WordPress plugin. A shortcode you drop into any page or post.
• .NET SDK. A typed client for teams building a custom site or app.

Pricing

Flat monthly pricing, with no commission per cover. Start with tables, step up when you add games and payments.

Pro is the most popular tier — it unlocks every resource type and QR-code ordering alongside table reservations.

Who it's for

BookDinePlay is built for independent hospitality and entertainment venues: restaurants and bistros, sports bars, pubs, game cafés and pool halls, and event spaces that need to take bookings for rooms and resources as well as tables. If guests currently reach you by phone, DM or walk-in, it gives you a proper booking channel without signing you up to a marketplace.
