Restaurants & event hospitality
Table bookings, private dining, function rooms, customer enquiries and tailored event quotes.
SAAS PLATFORM · PLANNED LAUNCH 2027
From the first enquiry to a quote, contract and confirmed event: Booking Hub combines event venue management, booking software and resource planning.
Create reusable templates for weddings and business events, automatically insert customer details, event dates and guest counts, and customise your letterhead. Prepare and email quotes, let customers accept them online, create contracts and manage event resources in the booking calendar. Invoicing is planned.
Currently in development · Cloud launch planned for 2027 · Initially targeting businesses in German-speaking markets
FOUNDING CUSTOMER PROGRAM
I am looking for businesses ready to use Booking Hub in their operations at launch and help shape its development.
Planned: twelve free months covering all launch-ready modules for up to 20 selected businesses. Participation is confirmed individually.
WHO IS BOOKING HUB FOR?
Especially useful for businesses handling event enquiries, tailored quotes and several bookable rooms or resources. Table reservations and rental workflows can also be managed:
Table bookings, private dining, function rooms, customer enquiries and tailored event quotes.
Wedding enquiries, venue quotes, contract documents, room occupancy and setup or teardown periods.
Individual boats, rental slots, inventory and time-based allocation.
Curling lanes, sports facilities, bookable units and seasonal activities.
Meeting rooms, studios, event spaces and other rental resources.
Individual rental items with inventory details, condition and maintenance records.
These are intended use cases. Industry-specific workflows will be reviewed during the pilot phase.
EVENT MANAGEMENT & BOOKING SOFTWARE
Core booking, resource and quote-management modules have been implemented in the development application. Cloud operations and launch-ready features are still undergoing final verification.
Manage reservations, confirmed and completed bookings, cancellations and no-shows in one system.
Locations, areas, categories and individual resources, from rooms and tables to kayaks and curling lanes.
Manage weekly availability, date-specific exceptions and resource blocks for maintenance or operational downtime.
Customer data, archiving and roles for administrators, managers and staff.
Server-side checks for overlapping bookings, capacity and blocked periods, including concurrent booking requests.
Booking statuses, cancellation details and activity logs help trace changes.
FROM ENQUIRY TO CONFIRMED EVENT
Create reusable templates for weddings, celebrations and corporate events with services, pricing and text blocks already in place. Customer details, the event date and guest numbers populate placeholders, so your team only needs to review and adjust the individual quote. Send the PDF, let the customer accept via a secure link, prepare the contract and confirm the booking in the calendar. Staff approval remains part of the process.
Create tailored event quotes from a service catalogue, calculate totals and prepare branded PDF contracts.
Prepare templates for weddings, conferences and other events. Standard items, text blocks and placeholders fill in customer names, event dates and guest numbers.
Design A4 letterhead with a visual editor: logo, typography, colours, address and footer areas, plus print-ready PDF previews.
Send documents by email or prepare them for postal delivery or handover. Postal dispatch is confirmed manually; no automated postal service is promised.
Customers can accept or decline a valid quote via a protected link. A staff member then confirms the request; optional calendar booking checks availability.
Capture event enquiries, convert them into quote drafts and prepare an internal event sheet for service and kitchen teams.
Development status: quote templates, PDF documents, dispatch, online acceptance, contract creation and the booking link are implemented. Email delivery requires a configured mail service; the public enquiry form and online acceptance must be explicitly enabled and legally reviewed. Native invoice generation and its invoice templates are planned for a later stage, with the same flexible document design approach; they are not yet available. Contract confirmation still requires staff approval.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Booking Hub distinguishes between a location or area, a category and the individual bookable item. This supports a wide range of business models.
Internal identifier, responsible person, condition, storage location, serial number, maintenance date, media, cover image and calendar visibility. Resources can also be blocked for maintenance or operational reasons.
Recurring opening hours, date-specific exceptions, nested location structures, bundles and complex reservation combinations are under development. They will only be presented as available after verification.
BOOKINGS & AVAILABILITY
Every booking has a traceable status: reserved, confirmed, completed, cancelled or no-show. Booking conflicts are checked on the server, not merely highlighted in the calendar.
Defined blocked times and capacity limits are already included in booking checks. Full integration with weekly schedules and special dates is still being completed.
For event venues, setup and teardown times and temporary resource use are important scenarios.
PRODUCT SCREENSHOTS
Real screenshots from the development and test environment. All bookings, names and business details shown are sample data. Select any image to enlarge it.
SECURITY & CLOUD CONCEPT
Role-based access, server-side authorisation, protection against unauthorised object access, random public identifiers, CSRF protection, login rate limiting, hashed passwords and traceable changes. New staff must change their initial password at first login.
Segregation of customer data and access, HTTPS configuration, secure backups, regular recovery tests, retention and deletion periods, data processing agreements, hosting locations, monitoring and operational processes. Binding commitments will follow only after infrastructure verification.
The plan is to provide dedicated customer addresses or subdomains. You use the application in a browser, without running your own server or installing software locally.
PLANNED EXTENSIONS
Additional modules are on the roadmap beyond core booking and resource management. Their availability and exact scope are not yet guaranteed.
Planned: generate invoices from the booking and quote process, with reusable invoice templates and configurable document layouts. Not yet implemented.
Further reminders, follow-up workflows and new delivery integrations are under consideration.
Voucher management and codes for suitable business models.
PRICING & LAUNCH
Final pricing and module tiers have not been decided. Monthly subscriptions in the range of EUR 39 to 99 are currently under consideration. These are not binding prices.
The 20 planned founding customers are intended to receive twelve free months with all available launch modules. Any paid continuation would require a separate agreement.
Possible future plans – not yet finalised
For 20 confirmed business places
Register your interestFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Not yet as a regular customer. Booking Hub is in development. Interested businesses can register their interest in updates and the planned launch programme without obligation.
No local installation is planned for the cloud version. You will access the application in your browser via a dedicated customer URL.
The plan is to offer twelve free months with all modules available at launch. Places will be allocated after reviewing suitable applications; registering interest does not guarantee acceptance.
No. The free period is intended to begin only when the system is made available to your business.
Pricing has not been finalised. A monthly price range of approximately EUR 39 to 99 is under consideration. Any paid use would require a separate agreement.
The development version already includes bookings, customers, staff roles, resource details, blocked times, capacity checks and activity logs. Advanced availability rules and additional modules are still being developed and tested.
Categories, areas or locations and individual resources are already supported. More advanced hierarchies, resource bundles and cross-location workflows are being developed.
Yes. Create and reuse quote or contract templates with standard catalogue items, text blocks and placeholders. The system can populate the customer name, event date and number of guests; the quote can still be reviewed and customised.
Yes. The visual design profile editor controls the document layout, logo, typography, address and footer areas, with PDF previews. It supports offers, contracts and their attachments. Invoice layouts are planned for later.
An import is currently documented for existing terms and privacy texts in DOCX or TXT. Automatic conversion of arbitrary old quotes or invoices into editable templates is not yet verified. Existing content can be recreated using the template editor.
Yes. The development version includes a service catalogue, quote calculation, branded PDF documents, delivery by email or manual post, customer online acceptance and contract documents. After staff confirmation, an optional calendar booking can be created.
Quotes can be sent by email when mail delivery is configured. Postal dispatch or personal handover needs a member of staff. Enquiry handling, legal approval and confirmation steps are not fully autonomous.
Invoice creation is planned for a later release. The intention is to reuse booking and quote data and provide custom invoice templates and document layouts. It is not implemented yet.
The application uses role-based permissions, server-side checks, CSRF protection, password hashing and login rate limiting. Tenant isolation, data processing agreements, backups and recovery procedures will be verified before the SaaS launch.
SHAPE THE PRODUCT
I am developing Booking Hub around real business needs. Before launch, I want to understand as many practical requirements as possible and, where technically, legally and commercially viable, consider them for the first release.
Please be as open and specific as possible. Complex workflows, missing features and unusual ideas are welcome. There are no wrong answers. Not every request can be guaranteed, but specific feedback helps prioritise development.
You can move freely between steps without losing your answers. Your draft remains available in the same browser tab when switching pages and will never be submitted automatically.
Registration is non-binding. One of the 20 planned founding customer places is assigned only after personal confirmation.
