BWT gives your restaurant its own reservation system. Guests book direct on your site: no per-cover fees, no portal between you, and every name, number, and birthday lands in a guest book you own.
FREE · 30 MINUTES · BUILT FOR INDEPENDENTS
OpenTable takes a fee for every cover. No-shows take the table and leave nothing. And at the end of the month, the portal still owns the one thing that compounds: who your guests are.
BWT flips the table. Bookings on your own site, deposits on the big parties, reminders guests actually answer, and a guest book that belongs to you.

GRATUITY NOT INCLUDED
An OpenTable booking is OpenTable's guest: you pay per cover, they keep the data, and they market your regulars to the place next door. Ours books on your own site. No per-cover fee, deposits on the big parties, and a waitlist that backfills cancellations in minutes.
$0 PER-COVER FEES
Every reservation builds a guest file: name, number, email, birthday, visit count, the table they like. The portals charge you to reach these people. Yours come free with the table they booked.
EVERY GUEST ON YOUR LIST
Confirmation texts guests actually answer, reminders timed to your seatings, and the 5 o'clock cancellation rebooked from the waitlist by 5:15.
63% FEWER NO-SHOWS
It runs on the guest book you now own. Every review answered in your voice within the hour, win-back texts for guests gone sixty days, and birthday lists that fill Tuesday nights.
REVIEWS ANSWERED IN 1 HOUR
How direct booking, the guest book, and no-show recovery come together for your restaurant.
We left OpenTable in March. Bookings never dipped, the fees stopped, and when the patio opened I texted nine hundred regulars myself. Eleven thousand in covers that weekend.
A four-top cancelled at 5:06 on a Saturday. The waitlist had the table reseated by 5:15. Nobody on my staff touched a phone.

14 DAYS TO LIVE
STEP 1
Thirty minutes, free. We pull your portal fees, your no-show rate, and how many past guests you can actually reach, then map exactly where revenue leaks. You keep the map either way.
STEP 2
We stand up booking on your own site, port your reservation book, and wire up deposits, reminders, and guest file collection. You approve every flow before it goes live.
STEP 3
Live inside fourteen days. We watch the first hundred bookings and tune the flows. You get a one-page chit every Friday: covers, fees saved, list growth.
Thirty minutes with the team that builds this. We map where your revenue leaks: portal fees, no-shows, regulars you have no way to reach. You see the booking system and the guest book running on a restaurant like yours. If it’s not a fit, you keep the audit.
