Our Basic plan has every basic tool you need to generate online revenue. But if you really want to grow your business, boost your revenue, and optimize your workflow you will be better off in Standard. And the good thing is; the slight price difference will pay off in no time! 🚀
In this article you will learn more about 7 of our most-used (revenue generating) features that are part of the Standard and Pro plan. In addition to the ones below, there are some other features that you'll miss in Basic. On your billing page you can also switch between different subscriptions whenever suits you.
1. Waitlist
Automatically send guests that subscribed to the Waitlist an email to inform them that a spot has opened up, or manually place reservations from your Waitlist to avoid any open spots. |
Even if you book a full house in advance, there's still the possibility of a last-minute cancellation. With the Waitlist feature you automatically send out an email to guests that are registered on the Waitlist when somebody doesn't show up or when a reservation is canceled. Do you prefer to manually place Waitlist reservations? Of course, this is also possible. This way, you'll have a number of backup guests that can fill the gaps if necessary.

2. Squeeze
Get the most out of busy moments and double tables without working in pre-defined shifts by filling gaps in your planning with shortened, squeezed, reservations. |
Of course, you want to optimize all your tables. The Squeeze feature helps you to double your tables by offering reservations with a shorter table turn. Even better: Squeeze options will only be shown to guests when all standard spots are already booked.

3. Instagram & Facebook Reserve
Add a reserve button to your Instagram & Facebook profile and let your truest fans, your followers on Social Media, reserve with you even faster and smoother. |
The Reserve button in your Instagram bio serves as a perfect call to action to turn profile visitors into guests. Online marketing was never easier and cheaper, since you don't pay any commissions for reservations that are made through Instagram.

4. Email Campagnes
E-mail marketing is a perfect way to engage and interact with your guests. You can easily promote one of your Tickets with one touch of a button. |
Though this feature is also available in Basic, you can only send up to 500 emails per month. Standard allows you to send up to 5000 emails per month. Do you have less than 500 subscribers? Do note that guests usually start taking action after the 3d email. So you want to be able to send multiple emails per month 💌.
