SeatMap

A restaurant reservation platform that doesn't lose money to no-shows.

WHY IT WORKS

SeatMap replaces a pile of fragmented tools — booking widget, SMS confirmations, WhatsApp waitlist, spreadsheet floor plan, Google reviews — with one platform that owns the diner end-to-end. Guests book from the site or WhatsApp, pre-authorise a card for peak slots, get a polite reminder the day before and a re-seating nudge if they run late.

Behind the host stand, the floor plan is a live object: reservations snap to real tables, the waitlist re-routes parties as tables flip, and the kitchen receives a prep-line signal the moment a confirmed booking hits a covers threshold. After the visit, a review nudge lands in the right inbox at the right time.

The whole stack assembles from AIMicroservices blocks: Calendar and WhatsappQR carry the communication, new domain services (TableGrid, NoShowGuard, WaitlistFlow) carry the restaurant logic. No vendor lock-in, no per-cover commission to a third party.

ARCHITECTURE · LAYERED BLUEPRINT

How the microservices wire up.

Read top to bottom. Channels are where people arrive, orchestration is how the AI thinks, domain is the startup-specific logic, data & identity keeps the source of truth, and platform is the invisible glue.

HOW TO SHIP IT

Quick-start checklist.

  1. 01 Import the floor plan into TableGrid; tag peak / shoulder / off-peak windows.
  2. 02 Connect WhatsappQR to the house number, publish BookingWidget.
  3. 03 Configure NoShowGuard (deposit thresholds, grace window, refund policy).
  4. 04 Turn on ReviewLoop — day-after Google / Yelp / TripAdvisor nudges.
