SevenRooms is a reservation, waitlist, and CRM platform focused on guest data and marketing for restaurants and hospitality groups, without a consumer marketplace.
SevenRooms is built for hospitality operators - restaurants, restaurant groups, hotels, membership clubs, nightclubs and bars, and sports and entertainment venues - that want to own their guest relationships rather than rent them from a marketplace. It targets operators focused on driving direct, commission-free bookings and using guest data to personalize service and marketing. It is an operator platform, not a consumer dining app.
You get a combined reservation, waitlist, and guest-experience platform: branded booking widgets, table and floor management, a guest CRM that captures preference and spend data, prepaid add-ons and deposits, automated SMS/email messaging, marketing automation and email marketing, POS-connected guest history, and reporting across single or multiple locations. It also connects to discovery channels like Google, DoorDash, Facebook, and Instagram without per-cover fees.
Guests book through branded widgets on the operator's own site or via connected channels (Google, DoorDash, Facebook, Instagram), and their data flows directly into the SevenRooms CRM. Staff manage reservations, walk-ins, and the waitlist from a web dashboard or the SevenRooms OS iPad/iPhone app, while automated messaging handles pre-arrival reminders, two-way SMS, and post-dining surveys. Access requires a monthly subscription arranged via a sales demo.
