Not a cent for referred guests
Some portals charge a fee for every guest who books through them — the fuller the house, the more expensive it gets. buuktime charges a fixed amount per table, whether it turns over once or thirty times a month.

Table reservations with zero commission, no per-guest fees — built for Friday-night stress at the pass.
90 days free · no credit card · ends automatically
Friday, 7 pm: three tables reserved, nobody shows up — and an hour ago you turned two couples away.
- The reservation for the company party is in the book, the allergy note is on a sticky note on the fridge — and the floor staff only find out when the guest asks at the table.
- You are at the pass mid-service, the phone rings for the third time in ten minutes — and the guest at the table is waiting for the menu.
- By late November your calendar fills up week after week with holiday parties — until you do the math and realize a portal is charging you a fee for every referred guest, no matter how thin your margin is that month.
How buuktime solves it
Confirmed, reminded, refilled
Every reservation is confirmed automatically, and a reminder email goes to the guest before the visit. If someone cancels, the waitlist suggests the next matching guest — one click, and the offer is out.
Holiday party season without the chaos
November and December often bring in a multiple of a typical month's revenue — and just as many requests at once. Packages with variants (like menu plus private room), group splits across multiple tables, and the combined view across rooms keep you on top of things even on the busiest days of the year.
Reservations happen online, not on the phone
Guests book their own table — via your link or right on your website, any time of day. The confirmation goes out automatically, with your logo, without anyone at the pass having to pick up the phone.

Frequently asked questions — Restaurants & Dining
How is buuktime different from reservation portals?
Many portals charge a per-guest fee on top of the monthly cost. With buuktime you pay a fixed amount per table, no matter how often it gets reserved each month.
Does buuktime help reduce no-shows?
buuktime confirms every reservation automatically and sends a reminder email before the visit. If a guest cancels, the waitlist suggests the next matching guest. buuktime currently has no deposits or no-show fees.
Can I still enter reservations myself?
Yes — you enter phone and walk-in guests into the same calendar, with the same rules as online bookings. Everything stays in one view.
Does buuktime work for small venues without an IT team?
Especially for them. No setup fee, no minimum term, no hardware — a tablet or laptop is enough, and the waitlist runs from day one.
