The reservations platform that's free on purpose.
Card holds, deposits, set-menu Experiences, guest CRM, automated reminders — the full enterprise feature set, with no paid tier hiding any of it. Built by a restaurant owner, for restaurant owners.
Set up in an afternoon · No card required · No contract
The expensive stuff, included.
These are the features that usually sit behind a sales call and a four-figure annual contract. Here they're just switched on.
Card holds & deposits, without the upsell
Require a card hold or a per-guest deposit for big parties, peak nights, or events. It connects to your own Stripe account — money goes straight to you, and we take no cut.
On other platforms this is the feature you upgrade for. Here it's free like everything else, because no-shows hurt small rooms most.
Know your regulars like a good host does
Every booking builds a guest record — visits, no-shows, allergies, seating preferences, notes. It spans all your outlets, so a regular at one room is a regular at both.
Your guest list is yours: export it anytime.
Reminders guests actually answer
Confirmation and reminder emails go out automatically — guests confirm or cancel with one click, and the book updates itself. WhatsApp reminders, where Singapore diners actually live, are next on the roadmap.
A cancelled table goes back into availability immediately, or straight to your waitlist.
Set menus, events and promo codes
Put your omakase, a festive set or a chef's-table night on the booking page as an Experience, with its own days, dates, party sizes, area and deposit. Guests choose it as they book, or each guest picks their own menu, so the kitchen knows exactly how many of each to prep.
Share a link that opens straight to it, or keep it behind a promo code for your newsletter or a partner.
Bookings straight from Google
Coming soonReserve with Google will put a booking button on your Search and Maps listings — where most diners find you first. Those bookings will land in the same book, paced by the same rules. It's built and waiting on Google's partner approval.
Until then, your own booking page is built to show up in search, with your hours, map and policies, plus an embeddable widget for your website and Instagram bio.
And everything else a busy door needs.
When a table frees up, the next party on the waitlist gets an offer by email automatically.
Covers paced per slot so the kitchen never gets slammed, plus bookable areas, fixed seatings, closed days and per-date caps.
A link in every confirmation lets guests change the time, party size or special requests, or cancel, without calling you.
Automatic emails to guests who opted in, sent in your venue's name, with one-click unsubscribe.
Guests are tagged every night from their visit history, so the host sees who matters at a glance.
Bookings, covers and no-shows per campaign, with conversions sent back to Google Ads and Meta.
Seat a booking from the POS and see what each table actually spent, on the booking and in your campaign report.
Photograph or upload your floor plan and your areas and tables are set up in minutes.
Switch between all your restaurants from one login, each with its own logo, emails and home-screen icon. Works on a phone at the door or a tablet on the stand.
Same features. Very different bill.
A fair look at what the enterprise platforms charge for, feature by feature.
Competitor pricing and packaging vary by market and change often — based on published pricing as of mid-2026.
No catch. Just a restaurant owner giving back.
I own Standing Sushi Bar, Tanuki Raw, and Shinsora in Singapore. For years I paid enterprise prices for reservation software — and paid extra again for basics like deposits and card holds. So we built our own, ran it on our own floors every night, and decided the reservation book should be free for every restaurant.
How do we afford it? We also make a POS. If you love the free reservations and one day want the rest, that's our business. If you never do, the reservations stay free anyway.
One plan.

Fair questions.
There isn't one. The founder owns restaurants and wanted this piece of critical software to be free for the community. We make money on our separate, paid POS — reservations doesn't subsidise itself with your data or your guests.
No. Payments run through your own Stripe account and go straight to you. Standard Stripe processing fees apply — those are Stripe's, not ours.
No. Reservations is free forever, every feature. It runs a venue's entire booking operation with no caps on covers or bookings, ever. Nice Work POS is the product we charge for.
You do. Your guest list and booking history are exportable anytime, and we never market to your guests.
Nice Work — the software arm of the Singapore restaurant group behind Standing Sushi Bar, Tanuki Raw, and Shinsora. The platform runs our own rooms every night before it runs yours.
Same login, same floor plan, same guests — and the two talk to each other. Seat a booking straight from the POS, and every bill enriches the guest profile: what they spent, how often they visit, what they order, their favourite table. The POS is paid — a fraction of what the big systems charge — and reservations stay free either way.
Your book, tonight.
Set up in an afternoon. Free forever. We'll be around if you need us.
