Sidedoor
For bars & cocktail lounges

Sell the booth, not just the booking

Minimum spends on every table, packages guests buy upfront, and a 3D floorplan that lets them pick the exact booth they want.

Why bars switch

A bar booking is a promise of spend

Restaurant systems treat a booth like a table for four. In a bar, the booth by the window and the high table by the door are different products at different prices.

Sidedoor prices every table and area on its own, shows guests exactly what they’re booking, and secures the spend with a card on file.

3D table picker

Guests pick the exact booth

Your floorplan becomes a room guests can turn and explore. They see the bar, the booths and which tables are free, with the minimum spend shown right on each one.

  • Built from the floorplan you already draw
  • Minimum spends shown per table and area
  • Guests pick an area or the exact table, your call
  • Optional for guests: one tap back to the classic 2D plan
Packages & pre-orders

Bottles and packages, sold before the night

Drinks packages, bottle service and sharing boards are bought with the booking or added later from a link you send, so the spend is agreed before the guest walks in.

  • Packages and bundles priced per table or area
  • Minimum spends that scale with party size
  • Add-ons sent as a link after booking
  • Card on file or paid upfront, per policy
Walk-ins & waitlist

A busy bar, no lost walk-ins

Walk-ins and the waitlist live on the same live floor as your bookings. When a table frees up, assign the waitlist in one tap, and checking a party in closes the table before it.

  • Walk-ins and waitlist on the live floor
  • Waitlist assigned in one tap
  • Check-in closes the previous party on the table, if you want it to
  • A staff app with push notifications for the team
