For every venue with tables.
Same core, different needs. Set Booklio up the way your venue runs.
Restaurants
Free times based on real table occupancy, booking length by space and room for walk-ins at peak times. The table QR code shows who most likely wrote a Google review, and Claude drafts the reply.
Bars
An iPad admin behind the bar that rings. Bookings at the bar and at tables, one-tap confirmation, events and invitations for regulars.
Clubs
Late-night times that belong to the previous day, booths and bottle tables paid upfront. Partner links and QR codes for hotels and hostels.
Cafés
A simple widget with no deposit, gift cards and vouchers, bookings through guests’ AI assistants and a Monday summary of the week’s numbers.
Bowling, spas, hair salons and more industries are coming soon. See what’s coming
A booking widget that looks like your website.
Drop the booking widget into the venue’s website with one line of code. It takes colours, fonts, corner radius and density from the site, while the steps and checks stay the same. Try a booking; nothing gets sent.
Embed the widgetSEE YOU SOON
Done, you’re confirmed! Your confirmation text is on its way.
Quick booking
An iPad behind the bar that rings.
The admin sits on the iPad home screen like an app. A new booking rings with an old cash-register bell, and alerts show up even on the lock screen. After dark it switches to night mode on its own.
Bar colour in the plan:websitestaffAI assistant
- Pending request cards. Time, name, contact and tags in one place, no need to open the details.
- Floor plan. Timeline and floor map with a time slider. Who sits where, and when a table frees up.
- Phone bookings in 30 seconds. The system suggests a table and catches conflicts.
- Showed up, or didn’t. Anyone who misses three bookings lands on the no-show list. Staff decide; nothing is rejected automatically.
Rules that keep their word.
- Tables kept for walk-ins. At peak times the website offers only part of your tables, 80% by default. The rest waits for walk-ins.
- Full? Offer another time. The guest gets a message with a TAKE 8:30 PM button and is confirmed in one tap.
- Guests cancel on their own, the table frees up. The cancel link is in the confirmation and the reminder.
- No last-minute bookings. Online, guests book at least 60 minutes ahead. For anything sooner, they call.
Stats
See the whole guest journey, from Google to the table.
Booklio measures bookings and website traffic on its own, with no cookies and no third-party services. Every number leads to a decision: where to spend on promotion, what to fix on the website and how many tables to offer online.
Tap the iPad: switch between bookings and traffic and open the details, just like in the real admin.

How we measure
- No cookies, no consent banner.
- No IP addresses stored.
- Bots and staff aren’t counted.
- Records are deleted after 13 months.
Reviews
Many times more reviews from real guests.
Most guests never write a review simply because nobody asks them at the right moment. Booklio asks for you.
A QR code on every table
Guests scan the code and land straight on your Google review form. From the table and time, Booklio works out which booking most likely wrote the review.
A review request after the visit
After the visit, guests get an email or text asking how it went. You see the feedback in the admin, and every guest is offered a public review.
A reply in a minute
Claude drafts the reply on Google and TripAdvisor; you just approve it. Nothing goes out without you.
Its own MCP server
Bookings through AI assistants, too.
Booklio has its own MCP server, a connector Claude and ChatGPT can use straight away. Guests add it to their assistant with a single link. The assistant checks free times, shows the menu and sends a request that follows the same rules as the website. Management can ask their own assistant too: what’s waiting for confirmation today, who’s at table 5, close Saturday from 3 to 9 pm.
- Same rules as the website. The assistant never offers a time you’d turn down.
- Under control. Limits against flooding, and one switch to turn the whole channel off.
- Review replies drafted for you. Claude drafts, a person approves.
No cookies. No stored IP addresses.
- Data stays in the EU. Booklio runs on Cloudflare with its database in the EU. No servers to maintain.
- Deleted on schedule. Names and contact details are erased 3 months after the booking; the stats stay.
- Hashes, not addresses. Bot protection works without storing IP addresses.
- One-tap erasure. Staff handle a guest’s GDPR request right in the guest database.
Proven at James Dean Prague.
An American diner, bar and Music Club in the heart of Prague. Three spaces, three sets of hours, from breakfast until 6 am. Booklio handles every booking there.
How it works at James Dean
Operator of James Dean PragueFAQ
All featuresIs Booklio really free?
Yes. The core and all 9 add-ons cost CZK 0 a month. You pay only for text messages to guests (CZK 3) and drafts by Claude (CZK 3), both excluding VAT and only for what you use. Emails to guests and bookings through guests’ AI assistants are free.
Do staff have to confirm every booking?
No. With auto-confirm on, routine requests confirm themselves: up to 6 people, no special requests, not last-minute, and with a free table. Staff handle the rest, and the guest is promised an answer, usually within 60 minutes.
Can the website sell every table?
Not at peak times. Management sets what share of tables the website offers (50 to 100%); the rest is kept for walk-ins.
What if we’re full?
Staff decline with “We’re full” and offer another free time that day. The guest accepts in one tap and the booking is confirmed on the spot.
What about no-shows?
Staff mark the guest as a no-show. After three, the contact shows up on the no-show list. Nothing is rejected automatically; staff decide.
Do we need our own website?
No. Booklio has a standalone booking page you can link to, from Instagram, Google Maps or your business card.
Which languages does it support?
For guests: Czech, English and German, across the widget, texts and emails. The staff admin is in Czech.
Who uses Booklio?
Booklio was built for James Dean Prague and runs there every day. We’re now opening it to other venues.
Do guests pay in advance?
Regular bookings need no deposit. A bottle table paid upfront is an optional add-on; it’s built and waiting for payments to be switched on.
Will Booklio help us get reviews?
Yes. Put a QR code on every table that takes guests straight to your Google review form. When a new review comes in, staff see which table and booking it most likely came from, so they can thank the guest or sort out the complaint. Claude drafts the reply and a person approves it. After the visit, Booklio also checks how it went, with the feedback in your admin and an invitation to every guest to review you on the platforms you choose.
How long does it take to get started?
Signing up takes a few minutes. The guide in the admin then helps you set your opening hours, spaces and tables in about 5 minutes, and pasting the code into your website takes another 2.
How do I switch from another booking system?
Sign up, set up your venue in the guide and swap the old code on your website for Booklio’s. Bookings you already have in the old system go into the admin through New booking. Both systems can run side by side for a few days until the old bookings are done.
How do I cancel Booklio?
Any time, with no fee. Just write to us and we’ll end Booklio on the day you choose, within a month at the latest. The details are in the terms of service.
Who owns the guest data?
Your venue is responsible for guests’ data as the controller; Booklio processes it as a processor under the terms of service. Every venue has its own database. When you leave, we hand the data over on request and then delete it.
