HammondBookings · standalone or connected
See the whole service before the first guest arrives.
HammondBookings brings reservations, walk-ins, tables, covers and guest information into one live planner, with booking emails and optional Stripe payment policies. Use it as a standalone booking system or connect it with HammondPOS and HammondPOS Loyalty.
Available to order, with activation arranged for each venue. We agree your booking rules, payment policies and connected services before go-live.
Live service planner
Bookings, covers, seated guests and table availability at a glance.
Move through the service timeline, see where each party is allocated and add a walk-in without losing sight of the rest of the room.
Built for the shift, not just the booking form
Control the room from enquiry to completed visit.
Tables and connected tables
Define covers by table, join tables for larger parties and move guests when the service needs to change.
Service shifts and capacity
Control when guests can book, manage split services and protect capacity around the way the venue actually operates.
Walk-ins and live seating
Add immediate arrivals, allocate a suitable table and keep current occupancy visible alongside advance bookings.
Guest book and service notes
Keep the information staff need for the visit, including contact details, notes and highchair or wheelchair requirements.
Your public booking page
Give guests a venue booking page connected to the availability and rules configured for the service.
Booking emails
Send booking confirmations, payment requests and relevant booking updates so guests have the information they need for their visit.
Deposits and prepayments
Connect the venue's own Stripe account to take optional booking deposits or full prepayment under the policy you choose.
Card guarantees and cancellation policies
Offer a card guarantee for eligible bookings. Staff confirm any cancellation or no-show charge under the venue's agreed policy.
Payment status and refunds
Track payment progress, resend payment links and manage refunds from the booking. Unpaid requests can expire according to your configured time limit.
Standalone or connected
Connect the booking, the table and the guest.
Use HammondBookings on its own or connect reservation, arrival and table information with HammondPOS. Where HammondPOS Loyalty is enabled, link booking guests to their loyalty membership so the venue can recognise them across reservations and till service.
Booking payments are handled through the venue's connected Stripe account. In-person payments continue through the venue's configured POS payment setup.
Set up around your venue
Booking emails, Stripe payment policies and the POS and loyalty connections have completed integration testing. We demonstrate the agreed workflow and arrange activation with you.
Pre-orders and Reserve with Google remain on the roadmap and are not included in the current offering.
Monthly pricing per venue
Flat monthly pricing rather than a charge for every cover.

Booking and setup questions
Can it work without HammondPOS?
Yes. HammondBookings is designed to operate as a standalone reservation system as well as through an optional HammondPOS connection.
Can staff add walk-ins?
Yes. Staff can add a walk-in, allocate a table and show the party in the live service view.
Can I take deposits or prepayments?
Yes. Stripe deposits and full prepayments have completed integration testing. We connect the venue's Stripe account, configure its policies and confirm activation before taking live guest payments.
Can I use card guarantees?
Yes. Card guarantees support the venue's cancellation and no-show policy. A guarantee does not itself take a payment; staff confirm a charge when the policy applies.
Can bookings link to loyalty?
Yes. Booking guests can be linked to HammondPOS Loyalty members when the optional loyalty service and venue connection are enabled.
Can the first review be remote?
Yes. The product review, demonstration and venue-setup discussion can be completed remotely.
