Take tables online without giving away the room. Snug puts every booking on the right table, takes a deposit when the night needs one, and keeps the rest of the bar free for whoever walks in.
Friday night
26 seats. Open 5pm to 11pm.
The right table, every time. Each booking goes on the smallest free table that fits, so a couple never ties up the six-seater on a Friday.
Areas with their own rules. The bar, the back room and the terrace can each have their own online limits, hours and children's rules. Open the terrace when the sun's out.
The bar tablet, the office laptop and the manager's phone all show the same night, live, with nothing to install. Tap a booking to seat it, seat a walk-in in two taps, or shut the terrace when the rain comes in.

On Plus
Set a price or a deposit on each event, and Snug charges the right amount when guests book. An event can take over one area and leave the rest of the bar for walk-ins.

Snug already takes the bookings at a busy Scottish craft beer bar, night after night. It's built for independent bars of every kind: wine bars, cocktail bars, taprooms, pubs and bottle shops with a few tables. Here's how yours gets on it.
A quick call about how your nights run: your tables, your busy times, and when you'd want a deposit.
Your tables, opening hours, online limits, deposit rules and payments, all configured for you. Upcoming bookings from your old system come across too.
Add the booking panel to your website and the link to your Instagram bio. We add the Book button on Google and keep an eye on your first few weekends.
Plans from £25 a month, with free set-up. See pricing or write to projects@geesc.online
Independent bars that take bookings but still count on walk-ins: wine bars, cocktail bars, taprooms, pubs and bottle shops with a few tables.
We connect the card provider you already use where we can, like Stripe, Square or SumUp, or set one up with you. Deposits and prepayments are paid to your business, and we don't take a cut. You choose which nights, times and events need one.
Yes. Anything outside your deposit rules is a free booking with a confirmation email.
No. They book with their name and email, and change or cancel from the private link in their confirmation.
You choose the largest party that can book online. Bigger groups see your phone number and email, or on Plus, send an enquiry you can hold space and take a deposit against.
Yes. Set the time children have to leave by, for each day and for each area if you need to, to match your licence. Guests say if under-18s are coming, and they're only offered times that finish before then.
Yes. One line of code adds the booking panel to WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or a site you built yourself, matched to your look. There's also a booking link for your Instagram bio, your Google listing and a QR code by the till.
Yes. Card details go straight to your payment provider, never through us. Rate limits keep bots off your booking page, and a guest's private link stops working once their booking starts.
The bar tablet keeps showing tonight's bookings, so service carries on. You can make changes again as soon as it's back online, and every screen catches up straight away.
Yes. We bring your upcoming bookings across when we set you up.
We do. Send us your table layout and how you like to run things, and we'll have it ready to test within a week.
From £25 a month per venue, with free set-up and no fee per guest or per booking. Compare Core and Plus.
