A table booking form your guests can reach from the menu
Guests ask for a table from the menu they are already reading. The request lands in your inbox and you answer with one tap — you decide, every time.
Requests, not instant bookings — and that is the point
Let us be plain before you read any further, because it will save you a click if it isn’t what you want. NUSA does not confirm tables on your behalf. A guest fills in a short form, the request reaches you, and nothing is agreed until you say so. There is no availability engine deciding in your place at nine on a Saturday.
That is a deliberate design, not a missing feature. You are the only one who knows that the terrace is unusable in this wind, that table six is a two-hour party, and that the section is already stretched. A system that says yes for you will eventually say yes to something you would have refused — and it is your host who takes the hit at the door.
So: no commission per cover, no listing on a directory where you sit next to nine competitors, no minimum spend to be visible. The guest comes from your own page, and the table stays yours to give.
How the booking form works
The guest fills in a short form from your menu: date, time, number of people, their contact details. Nothing more — a form that asks for a postcode loses people.
The request arrives by email with two buttons in it: Accept and Decline. One tap from your phone, mid-service, and it is settled. You do not log in anywhere.
If you miss the email, a reminder follows. And if the request stays in the air, the guest is told to call you rather than left wondering. Nobody is dropped in silence — that is the failure mode that costs a house its reputation, not the occasional refusal.
There is a back office listing every request at a glance, but you are never obliged to open it. The email is the whole workflow.
The form sits where the desire is
Most booking forms are stranded on a Contact page nobody visits. Yours sits on the menu itself — on the page where somebody is reading your starters at eleven at night and thinking about Friday. That is the moment a table gets asked for.
It also sits on the front page that introduces your house: the photograph, the opening hours, the address. Somebody who found you through a friend or a listing lands there, and the button is right where they already are.
Asking them to find a phone number and call during service is what loses the booking. Not the absence of a floor plan.
What you are not signing up for
No floor plan to draw. No covers-per-slot to configure. No table management to keep in step with how your room actually works — you already have a system for that, whether it lives in a book or in your head.
No commission, either: table requests are part of the NUSA subscription, at €39 excl. VAT per month per address or €390 excl. VAT per year. A hundred covers or four, the price is the same. Amounts exclude VAT (VAT not applicable, art. 293 B of the French Tax Code).
And it is not an ordering tool. The request secures the table; the order is taken in the room, as it always was.
Frequently asked questions
Are bookings confirmed automatically?
Never. Every request comes to you, and you accept or decline it yourself with one tap in the email — no login required.
Do I have to maintain a floor plan or set covers per slot?
No. NUSA passes on the request and you decide with what you know about your room. It is deliberately simpler than a full reservation system, and it is not trying to be one.
Is there a commission per cover?
No. Table requests are included in the subscription, whatever the volume. There is no marketplace in the middle and no per-booking fee.
What happens if I don’t answer straight away?
A reminder is sent to you. If the request stays unanswered, the guest is invited to call you directly, so nobody is left without news.
