Reservations
Phone, web and walk-in bookings on one clock, with turn times your floor actually runs.
- Text confirmations and reminders
- Waitlist with quoted times
- Notes that reach the server, not a drawer
Restaurant software
The book, the floor and the takings — one evening, one screen.
- Reservations and walk-ins
- Private events and catering
- Card payments and tips
Vivid Bistro runs the reservation book, the private-event calendar and the till from the same record, so the number an owner reads at midnight is the same number the host took at seven.

A reservation book the host can actually work from
Every booking — phone, web, walk-in or a party that grew by four — lands in the same book, on the same clock. The host sees who is waiting, the kitchen sees what is coming, and nobody keeps a second list on paper.

Event
Sample service. Real books fill from your own floor plan and turn times.
Events are the margin. Count them properly.
Private dining, rehearsal dinners and catering are priced, deposited and settled differently from a table for two — and most restaurant software buries them in the same total. Vivid Bistro keeps event revenue on its own line, from the deposit taken in March to the balance settled on the night.
Event revenue by month
Sample
$138,100 six-month total

One system, front to back
The same record follows a guest from the booking to the receipt, so nothing is typed twice and nothing disagrees.
Private events
Rooms, set menus, deposits and balances — priced once and tracked to settlement.
- Deposit taken at booking
- Set menu and head count per room
- Event revenue on its own line
Floor and tables
Who is seated, who is waiting, and which table is about to free up.
- Your own floor plan
- Live turn times
- Sections by server
Tickets and payments
Open a check at the table, split it any way the party asks, take the card at the table.

- Card, cash and split payment
