Put your business front-of-house on autopilot.

No. MoodBite Business is a fixed monthly subscription, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one. Commission platforms feel free when you are empty and expensive exactly when you are doing well, which is backwards. The trade is honest: a marketplace spends its own money finding you diners, and a subscription does not.

Yes. Basic is free and covers 25 reservations a month with analytics, email notifications and unlimited mood tags, which suits a site testing whether online reservations are worth it. Paid plans start at $15 a month.

Confirmations and reminders with a one-tap cancel, card holds or deposits applied by rule rather than blanket, and a waitlist that refills cancellations. The rules are set per service, so you can protect Saturday covers and large parties without adding friction to a quiet Tuesday, which is where blanket deposit policies quietly cost more than they save.

Search for your venue, then verify by phone, email or documentation. Most claims are confirmed within 24 to 48 hours. You are claiming an existing listing rather than creating one, so your details stay consistent with what diners already see.

Basic covers reservation counts, trends and how often you appeared in mood searches. Professional adds peak hours, repeat-diner rates, revenue tracking and competitor benchmarks, so you can staff to your actual demand curve rather than to a hunch.

No. Plans are monthly and you can cancel at any time. Annual billing is available if you would rather pay less, but it is a discount rather than a lock-in.

You do. Diners who book with you are your customers, their details are yours, and you can export them whenever you like. If you cannot contact someone who has eaten with you six times, you are renting an audience rather than building one. Ask every platform this question and get the answer in writing.

Yes, 14 days on any paid plan, no card required to start. You get full access for the trial rather than a cut-down version, because a restricted trial tells you nothing about whether the thing works on a Saturday.

Both, and you choose which applies where. Card holds convert better than deposits because nobody is paying for a table before they sit at it, so they suit most services. Full deposits make sense on covers you genuinely cannot refill: large parties, tasting menus, private rooms and peak occasions.

You get an instant notification and can confirm, modify or decline from the dashboard. The diner receives an automatic confirmation and a reminder before the booking. Nothing depends on someone watching an inbox during service.

Get in touch if you run a group or franchise. Multi-site reporting is not something we sell off the shelf, and we would rather say so than sell you a tier that does not do it.

Diners come to MoodBite describing an occasion rather than a cuisine or a postcode, then get matched to venues that suit it. That means you appear when someone is deciding what kind of evening they want, which is earlier than the point at which most platforms compete.
