A booking page that stays actually yours.
Take direct reservations under your own name instead of a marketplace's, and watch them land on the same floor plan as tonight's walk-ins.

Setting Up Direct Bookings
Style the booking page
Set your logo, colours and copy so the page a guest books from looks like your restaurant, not a marketplace listing.
Set shifts, slots and capacity
Define lunch and dinner services, how long each table sits, and how many covers a slot can take, with one-off overrides for holidays.
Bookings land on your floor plan
Every reservation drops onto the same live view as your walk-ins, so the host sees who is booked, who is here, and what is free.
What makes a reservation system commission-free?
Most booking marketplaces charge a fee for every guest you seat through them. A commission-free system like Bzz runs on a flat monthly subscription instead, so a packed Saturday doesn't cost you more than a quiet Tuesday, and the booking page itself carries your branding rather than a third-party directory's.
Marketplace Booking vs. the Bzz Reservation System
Per-cover fees are a rounding error on a slow night. On a full room, they add up fast, and they scale with your best nights rather than your costs.
| Feature | Marketplace Platform | Bzz Reservation System |
|---|---|---|
| Fee per seated cover | Typically charged per guest | $0, flat monthly rate |
| Booking page branding | Marketplace logo and layout | Your logo, colours and copy |
| Walk-ins and bookings in one view | Usually a separate system | Same live floor plan |
| Guest contact data | Held by the marketplace | Yours |
| Confirmation with calendar file | Varies by platform | Included |
| Monthly cost | Subscription plus per-cover fees | From $29.99/mo, Premium plan |
Marketplace fee structures vary by platform; figures reflect the common per-cover model. Bzz reservations are part of the Premium plan, from $29.99/mo.
What Owning the Booking Actually Changes
Your data
Not the marketplace's
Guests book through your own page, so the contact details and the relationship stay with your restaurant, not a directory you're renting space on.
One room
Not two systems
A host working from one floor plan, bookings and walk-ins together, doesn't double-seat a table or forget a party that booked three weeks ago.
