Fig 02 · The phone, handled

A reservation line that never puts anyone on hold. The agent picks up in your restaurant's name, checks the book, offers the next free table and confirms by text. Your team keeps serving.

Included in Full Bistro OS from $180/month. Keep your number or get one from us, same plan. Our team sets up the line and the voice; you review the first calls with us.

Books straight into the book

Checks live availability for the date, time and party size, and writes the reservation where your staff already look.

Knows your hours and your menu

Answers what time you open, whether there is a terrace, what is gluten free, without anyone reaching for the phone.

Confirms by text

Sends the guest a code to confirm, so no-shows from mistyped numbers stop happening.

Takes event inquiries

A birthday for twenty on Saturday becomes a written inquiry with the details, ready for you to price.

Before you get started

A few practical answers about your menu and your plan.

Still deciding?

Send us your current menu and we will set it up on your account, at no cost.

Talk to us
Can I keep my restaurant's phone number?

Yes. Forward your current line to the number we give you, or connect your own Twilio, Telnyx or Plivo number over SIP. The voice plan costs the same either way.

Is Bistro a good fit for a small café or bistro?

Yes, that is who the Starter plan is for. A QR menu guests open in the browser, payment at the table through your own Stripe account, and the same phones you already use. $9 a month after a 7-day trial; add reservations when the phone gets busy.

What do I get during the trial?

You get seven days to create and share your menu, including AI import. No card is required and the trial does not automatically charge you. Voice service is not included. Choose a paid plan to keep your menu available after the trial.

Which plan should I start with?

Starter is $9/month for a digital menu and QR tools. Pro is $29/month and adds AI import, translations and analytics. Multi is $129/month for teams and multiple locations. Review the included features before choosing; you can buy your plan inside the dashboard.

Do my guests need an app?

No. Guests open your menu from its link or scan a QR with their phone camera. There is no guest account or app to install.

Do I need to replace my POS?

You can keep your existing POS. Bistro lets you manage the digital menu and add table service tools alongside it.

What can I upload?

Upload a clear photo or image of your menu. Review the extracted names, prices and categories before saving. You can also enter dishes manually. AI import is included during the trial and on Pro and above.

What happens after the trial?

There is no permanent free plan. Choose a paid plan from the dashboard to keep your menu publicly available. Your account and saved menu remain available in the dashboard, so you can continue where you left off.

Are there additional payment fees?

Stripe processing fees apply to payments. Bistro adds no platform fee to pay-at-table. Reservation and event deposits have a booking fee of 1% plus $1, paid by the guest, plus card processing.

Let your guests see what’s on the menu.

Create your restaurant, add your dishes and share your first QR. Seven days to try it, with no card required.
