SMS for restaurants and cafés: full tables, happy regulars.
No-show tables cost money, and quiet nights need filling. KiwiTxt confirms bookings, lets walk-ins know when their table is ready and sends specials and event nights to the regulars who want to hear about them.
Fewer no-shows
A confirmation and a same-day reminder with reply-to-cancel means tables come back in time to rebook.
Fill quiet nights
- Mid-week specials to your regulars
- Quiz nights, live music and themed menus
- Rainy-day or last-minute offers
- New menu launches
Waitlist texts
Take a walk-in's number and text when their table is ready, so they can wait at the bar or nearby.
