Your booking site

A public site that books tables and takes payment.

Your pop-up gets a beautiful public-facing website with your branding, menus, and a live timetable of available sittings. Guests pick a sitting, choose their table size, select menus, and pay via Stripe. No third-party ticketing platform needed.

Live timetable Available sittings display with dates, times, and remaining capacity. Sold-out sittings are clearly marked.
Menu showcase Your set menus displayed in beautiful cards with course tabs. Allergens and dietary tags visible per dish.
Stripe checkout Price per guest, automatic totals, VAT breakdown. Customer pays via Stripe. Booking confirms instantly.
Configurable windows Set when bookings open and close. Lock menu changes before a date. Control the entire booking lifecycle.

Flexible booking

Two paths. One system.

Not every booking works the same way. Some guests want to pick their menu and pay upfront. Others are booking for a group and need time to collect everyone's choices. OrderMango supports both.

Path A: Book and pay Guest picks a sitting, chooses menus for their party, enters details, pays via Stripe. Booking confirmed instantly. Perfect for couples and small groups.
Path B: Book, collect, then pay Lead guest books a table for their group. They get a shareable link. Each guest picks their own menu and dietary requirements. Once everyone has submitted, the lead guest pays. Ideal for birthdays and large groups.
Collection deadline Set a deadline for guest submissions. Automated reminders at 24h and 2h before. Expired bookings release the table automatically.
Admin bookings VIPs, press, complimentary guests. Create bookings directly from the admin with a visual table picker. No payment required.

Table management

Merge. Split. Drag. Done.

Your floor plan is interactive. Tables can be merged for large parties (the "Golden Table"), split when a 10-top needs to become a 4 and a 6, or dragged to a new position. Every change updates capacity, availability, and the booking system in real time.

Merge tables Combine 2-4 tables into a VIP group with a custom label. Creates a single check for the kitchen. Seats pool together.
Split tables Break a large table into smaller sections with custom sizes. Guests get assigned to split parts. The kitchen gets separate checks.
Auto-assign Unassigned bookings? Hit auto-assign. The algorithm considers exact fits first, then +1 extra seats. Respects merges and splits.
Capacity tracking Even capacity (base seats) and odd capacity (base + 1 extra per table). Dashboard shows availability by table size at a glance.

Kitchen & allergens

Allergen matrix. Kitchen checks. Host sheets.

Every sitting generates a complete set of kitchen documents. The allergen matrix shows all dishes against all 14 UK allergens. Kitchen checks give the chef per-table cards. The host sheet tells front-of-house who is sitting where.

Allergen matrix Printable cross-reference grid. All dishes across all four menus vs 14 UK declared allergens. Colour-coded by menu type.
Kitchen checks (A6) Print-ready A6 cards, 4 per A4 page. Order number, contact name, covers, menu selections, allergens. Hand them to the section chef.
Host sheet Front-of-house printable. All bookings with covers, menu selections, allergens, and notes. One glance, full picture.
Kitchen summary Per-sitting dish quantities by course. Handles merged tables correctly. Includes allergen-based dish replacements.
Printable table plan A4 landscape. All tables, bookings, cover counts, menu selections, merge groups. Pin it to the pass.

From: sarah.chen@gmail.com

"Hi, could we move our Friday booking to Saturday? Same table if possible. Also, one of our group is now vegan."

AI Draft

"Hi Sarah, I've moved you to Saturday 7:30pm, same table (Table 3, 4 covers). I've also noted the vegan requirement. Your guest can update their menu choice via the link we sent. See you Saturday!"

Meal choices

Every guest picks their own menu.

For held bookings, the lead guest gets a management page with a shareable link. Each guest in the party visits the link, picks their menu from your set options, and enters their dietary requirements. The system tracks who has submitted and who hasn't.

Per-guest menu selection Each guest picks from Carne, Pesce, Verde, or Vegan. Their choice is recorded against their name.
Dietary capture Returning guests? Their email is recognised and previous dietary info pre-filled. New guests enter allergens and preferences fresh.
Management page The lead guest sees a dashboard: who has submitted, who hasn't, and can edit any guest's choices. One link, full control.
Backfill to booking Once the lead guest pays, all guest menu selections are backfilled to the booking. The kitchen sees the final tally.
