# Finn for Cafes and restaurants

## More time for the people at your table.

Finn handles reservations, catering follow-ups, and daily preparation for cafes, pop-ups, and small restaurants. Your team can focus on service.

## From a first question to a booked event.

A catering inquiry. Finn keeps the conversation and the preparation together, so the team knows exactly what was agreed.

1. **Collect the essentials.** Ask for the date, guest count, location, service needs, and dietary requests.
2. **Check with the business.** Look up capacity and menu options. Route dietary and allergy questions to the team’s approved information.
3. **Prepare the offer.** Put together the details for staff approval and follow up on the approved quote.
4. **Hand over a clear plan.** Verify the accepted booking and required deposit, then give the team the confirmed event brief.

## More work Finn can help with

### Reservations

Check availability, record bookings, and help guests make permitted changes.

### Waitlists

Offer an opening to a suitable guest and recheck availability when they accept.

### Daily preparation

Review bookings, special requests, and outstanding event details before service.

### Guest questions

Share current opening hours, menu information, and approved service details.

## Connected to your business

**Systems:** Reservations, menus, catering quotes, staff schedules, customer records, and payments.

**People:** The team approves event quotes, capacity exceptions, and responses needing direct food-service judgment.

## Measure the outcome

- Catering inquiries awaiting a reply
- Confirmed bookings
- Events with complete preparation details

These are measures to track from the business’s own records, not published performance claims.
