FAQ

Can we keep using Hot Pepper and Tabelog?

Yes. Bookmi reads the booking notification emails those sites send and gathers them into one ledger. There's no need to stop listing.

Do we have to replace our POS register?

No. Keep your current register and start with the features you need, such as bookings, phone answering or daily reports. We'll confirm integration options at setup.

Does it work for a single small restaurant?

Yes. The Light plan is designed for small restaurants.

Could the AI accept bookings we can't take?

The AI only accepts bookings within the seats, opening hours and rules you set. Anything that needs a judgement call is passed to the restaurant or left as a message for a callback.

Can we see figures for several locations together?

Yes. Sales and cost ratios can be compared store by store. A head-office dashboard and consolidated multi-store analysis are available on the Enterprise plan.

How long does setup take?

We handle the initial setup. Standard setups can go live the same day at the earliest, and typically within two weeks.
