Hi! Any chance of a table for 2 tomorrow around 8?
Hi Maya — yes. A table for 2 at 8:00 PM tomorrow is free. Book it under your name?
Yes please 🙏
Done. Table for 2, tomorrow 8:00 PM, under Maya. You'll get a reminder tomorrow afternoon. See you then.

Built after studying 5,997 restaurants, bars and cafés in 14 countries — 47% still take reservations by hand.
Restaurant owner at the bar in the morning, a message waiting on her phone

A message after close waits until morning. The guest doesn't.

Guests open Instagram or WhatsApp as easily as they dial. When the message lands after your last shift, nobody sees it until the next day — and 47% of small venues have no way to reserve online at all.

How restaurants handle it today

By hand

Every question typed out again. No reminders. Anything after close waits.

A reservation page on your site

Takes bookings while you sleep. Doesn't see Instagram or WhatsApp. Doesn't answer questions.

Either way, the message is on you.

How it should go

  1. A guest writes.
  2. They get an answer right there, in seconds.
  3. The table is booked and saved.
  4. You see it when you look — that night or in the morning.

That's ToBeOut — a reservation assistant living in your messaging apps and on your site.

What it actually does

You set the rules. It follows them.

Hours, floor plan, max party size, topics to avoid, tone — set once.

"Party of 12 tonight?" "Let me check with the team and come right back."

You see every chat. Take over in one tap.

Start typing and ToBeOut goes quiet. A guest who asks for a person is handed to you.

"Can I speak to the owner?" You step in — the assistant stops.

It answers the questions, too.

Answered from what you set up, before the table is even mentioned.

"Do you have a kids' menu? Parking?" "Yes to both — a kids' menu and free parking out back."

Every channel, one list.

Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, website — one list. The guest gets a reminder; you hear back before the shift.

Booked on Instagram, WhatsApp or your site → all land in the same place, reminders sent automatically.

Free for 3 months.
Then $20 a month.

Founding rate for the first 50 restaurants. Your price stays where it started.
  • The assistant on all four channels
  • Up to 30 reservations booked by the assistant per month
  • Flat monthly price — not a percentage, not per guest
  • Reminders and guest list included
  • Cancel any time, one click
Less than one dinner for two.

Why 3 months free?

We're new. The first 50 restaurants get three months free, hands-on setup, and the founding rate for as long as they stay. Right now your feedback is worth more to us than your $20.

Questions owners ask

What counts as a reservation booked by the assistant?

A table the assistant confirmed in chat. The ones you type in yourself don't count toward the 30.

What if I need more than 30 a month?

$40 for up to 100, $60 for up to 200 — same founding lock. We tell you before you cross the line, not after.

I don't have a reservation system at all.

ToBeOut comes with one: a reservation page for your site, floor plan, guest list. Free for the same three months. After that it's $20/month on top — $40 total.

I already have a reservation system. Do I switch?

No. Keep it. Tell us which one — we check whether we can connect the assistant to it. If we can't yet, we say so before you spend an hour on setup.

Will guests know it's not a person?

If they ask, it says so. Most don't ask — they want a fast answer and a confirmed table.

What languages does it answer in?

The one the guest writes in. English, Spanish and most others.

Contract? Card? Sales call?

None of the three.

Start tonight

Set it up after the shift. The next message after close gets answered without you.

No card. No sales call.

Rather have us set it up with you?

We'll email you within one business day. Setup only, no pitch.
