A restaurant booking system that fills tables and keeps menus current.

Restaurant booking and marketing software for cafés, restaurants, bars, motels and B & Bs. Booking requests from your site land in one diary, Kahu checks the covers left in that sitting, and a person confirms in one tap. Weekend promos and menu changes are drafted while you run service, ready for your tap.

  • A booking diary with covers per sitting, by day and by week
  • Menu updates, event nights and direct-booking promos
  • Menu and specials posts in your voice

Frequently asked questions

More in the FAQ and Help centre.

Does Kahu Bookings handle covers, not just appointments?+

Yes. Set the covers each sitting can take and how often a slot starts. A booking only fits a slot with seats left.

Can guests book from Google and Instagram?+

Yes. Your booking link works wherever you paste it: your Google Business Profile, your Instagram bio or a message. Every booking lands in the same diary.

We are a motel, not a restaurant. Does it fit?+

Yes for the marketing: direct-booking pages, seasonal campaigns and guest messages work the same way, and a room can be a bookable resource.

Tell Kahu what you run. It'll show you the setup.

Florists, breweries, vets, photographers, mechanics. Pick a design, tell Kahu about your business, and it drafts a preview of the site, the campaigns and the diary in the same session.
