The diary is the hard part. So we move it for you.Switching restaurant booking system, diary and all
Nobody changes booking systems for fun. The floor plan, the service times, the table combinations and the existing bookings are real work, so a human does it with you, free of charge.
The setup call
Booked straight after checkout, with a checklist: a photo of your floor plan, your service times, and an export (or a photo) of your existing diary. OpenTable, ResDiary, simpleERB, a spreadsheet or a book by the till.
We build it together
Floor plan, zones, combinables, turn times, pacing and deposit rules, configured live on the call with your existing bookings imported. You take a test booking before we hang up.
Live on a quiet service
Your booking link replaces the old one on your website, Google profile and Instagram. Reminders start flowing to existing bookings. Guests notice nothing, except that you now confirm by text.
Before you switch
Do I lose my guest history?
No. Bring whatever export your current system allows and we import guests with their booking history. From day one, every new booking, walk-in and call enriches the Guest Graph automatically.
What about bookings already in the old system?
They come across in the migration. Guests with upcoming bookings get a confirmation from Eightish, so the reminder chain covers them too.
How long does it take end to end?
Most single venues go from checkout to live inside a week. The constraint is usually finding 45 minutes in your diary, not ours.
What if it doesn't stick?
Start on the free plan and stay there as long as you like. If a paid plan isn't working for the room, tell us and we'll stop billing. There is no contract to see out.
Bring the diary. We'll do the rest.
No setup fee. Live within the week.
