House rules, built in

It books the way your floor manager would.

The platform checks every request against your tables, opening hours and booking rules before Juno offers a time. You set the rules in the restaurant profile.

  • Large parties
    Arranged by your team

    Above the party size you set (11 and up at Bella Vista), Juno takes the details and offers a callback, and the request is flagged for staff.

    Staff
  • Opening hours
    Only when you are open

    A time outside your published hours is refused, and Juno tells the guest that day's hours.

    Hours
  • Notice
    Minimum notice and booking horizon

    You set how soon and how far ahead guests can book (at Bella Vista, 2 hours to 90 days).

    Your rules
  • One table
    One booking at a time

    A database constraint makes it impossible to book the same table twice for overlapping times.

    Guaranteed
  • Unknown question
    A callback for anything else

    Juno answers only from facts you approved. Any other question is offered as a callback.

    Callback
  • “A person, please”
    Transferred to your staff

    When a guest asks for a person, the call is transferred.
