Lounge reservation software: Know every table before the guest arrives

Take reservations online, by phone or at the door, set minimum spends by section, night or timeslot, take the deposit at booking and keep notes on every regular.

Lounges on VenueStack.

For lounges that live on bookings, minimum spends and knowing the regulars. Reservations, deposits, the floor and every guest’s history share one account.

Where service slips.

Bookings arrive by phone, by message and through the website. The minimum spend lives in one person’s head and the regular’s usual order in another’s. Each gap shows up at the table.

  • Bookings in three places

    Phone, message and online requests kept apart are how one table gets promised to two groups.

  • Minimums with nothing behind them

    Without a deposit at booking, the best seats go to groups that may not come, and an empty table on a full night is spend you won’t get back.

  • Regulars treated as strangers

    When notes and visit history live in a host’s memory, they leave when the host does.

Built for service that runs on reservations.

Every booking on one floor

Online bookings, phone requests and walk-ins go straight onto a table or into the unseated list, so the host sees what is free.

Remember every regular

Profiles with visit history, spend, tags, notes and ratings, so your team knows the usual before they reach the table.

  • Deposits before the night

    Take the deposit when a guest books online, or email a secure link to pay it later and see who has paid.

  • See which tables sell

    Table reports show bookings and deposits, which sections sell and when people book, event by event.

A lounge night, start to finish.

What VenueStack does at each stage of service. All of it is on the one plan.

Before guests arrive

Before guests arrive

Guests book a section from your website or your own VenueStack page, and your team adds phone bookings to the same plan.

Set a minimum by section, date or timeslot, so the best tables are priced for the night they’re booked.

The deposit is taken when the table is booked and stays attached to the reservation, so the floor can see what’s been paid.

A table is held for 10 minutes while a guest pays, so two guests can’t book the same one.

Know what needs you, right now

Pulse watches the whole venue and lists what someone has to act on, from a table request nobody has answered to a door phone that stopped scanning.

  • Requests, deposits, chats, the door and more
  • Remind, resend or open the booking from the alert
  • Each alert clears itself once the problem is fixed

Questions from lounges.

More questions, answeredHow VenueStack compares

Software that takes table reservations for a lounge, with minimum spends and deposits, and keeps each guest’s history so service can be personal. VenueStack does it on the same plan as tickets, the door and reporting.

It depends on the platform: some charge a fee on every ticket, some quote each venue, and some publish a monthly plan. VenueStack is $200 a month, or $180 a month billed yearly, with every feature, plus 4% processing fees, at least $2 and at most $50 (C$2.50–C$50, €2–€50, £1.50–£50) on each paid online order and the card processing fee. You choose whether guests pay those fees at checkout, free tickets and bookings carry no fee, and there is a 14-day free trial.

Yes. Online bookings come in through your booking page, and your team adds phone, message and walk-in bookings with New Reservation, straight onto a table or into the unseated list. Everyone works from the same floor plan, so the host always sees which tables are taken.

Set a minimum spend and a deposit for each section, and change them for an event or a timeslot. Guests pay the deposit when they book online, or you email a secure link to pay it before the night. The table card shows the deposit paid against the minimum.

Yes. Every booking, order and chat builds the guest’s profile, with their visit history and spend. Your team adds tags, notes and ratings, so good service doesn’t depend on one person’s memory.

Table reports show each event’s bookings and deposits, which sections sell and when people book. The door report shows how many came in and when, and you can compare any two events side by side.

Yes. Sell tickets for a special night on its own branded event page, alongside your usual reservations. Ticket sales, table bookings and check-in all run through the same system.
