THE SCIENCE AND FUTURE OF HOSPITALITY

WizButler: for your completely customisable and personalised digital transformation and success!

The world's only dynamic booking allocation system and it can be tailored to meet your venue's specific requirements.

Other booking systems offer static and linear allocation systems which, on average, can reject online bookings when your restaurant is only 60% to 65% full. WizButler gives you more online bookings which means more revenue without manual intervention.

With WizButler, you can now optimise your bookings and allocations online to increase your revenue without the cost or need for a telephone call centre facility.

Hotels_Homepage_Restaurant Dining

The world's only real-time, online, autonomous space management system to maximise bookings.

WizButler is the only system in the world that can autonomously add, remove, and rearrange tables and chairs on your floor plan as customer booking requests are received online and in real-time to optimise the number of bookings taken and maximise your revenue

Other systems simply use a fixed and unchanging number of tables for the allocation of booking requests which is a linear and permanent first received first allocation process that has no relationship to the floor space within your venue.

Dynamic Floor Plans
The world's only online real-time system that autonomously and automatically changes table positions and layouts so your staff know how to set up the dining room when they arrive at work.

WizButler dynamically redraws floor plans in line with the allocation process which adds, removes, or changes table locations including changing tabletops in one area of the restaurant or the whole restaurant as it maximises the number of online bookings that it takes following your selected ambience and seating strategy.

WizButler does all this administrative hard work for you, online when your staff are not available plus it allows your staff to stay focused on what is most important - your customer.

WizButler provides a seamless transition between its dynamic online booking process and staff by providing a “blueprint” to floor staff as to how to set up the tables for restaurant service, as well as the table locations during a service.

The world’s only configurable dynamic allocation algorithms to ensure customer booking allocations are always in line with your restaurant strategy.

WizButler's dynamic allocation algorithms can increase bookings taken by between 10% to 100% depending on how flexible your restaurant furniture is when compared to other existing booking systems during a busy service.

Separately, WizButler’s allocation algorithms also include the upselling of premium tables, extending dining durations and other yield management features to further increase your venue’s revenue.

The only system in the world that can dynamically manage and arrange the gaps between tables

Restaurants, unlike airlines, are required to seat all people within the one booking together which creates a complexity that that until now had to be undertaken manually or through inefficient floor plans. WizButler cannot only autonomously add, remove and rearrange tables it can also autonomously adjust the gaps between tables for privacy, health and government regulations and your chosen strategic requirements.

Tables in different sections can have different gaps between them to give each venue flexibility as to the table strategy they wish to follow.

WizButler-booking-vip-seating-Prime-steak-restaurant-venue-film
The world's only system that can guarantee your VIPs to their favourite table online and in real-time – Now, that’s customer service!

The WizButler table booking system is linked to your customer CRM and database. As the WizButler system rearranges table allocations online and in real-time and each time a new booking is received, WizButler guarantees that your VIPs will always be treated as VIPs. The best part is that they always get allocated to their favourite tables online and in real-time without any manual intervention.

As you would expect from the world's best and most innovative booking system, no manual reallocations are required, just set and forget.

WizButler-yield-personalisation-Prime-steak-restaurant-venue-Restaurant-Butler

WizButler offers you the world's only true restaurant and venue yield management system

A mandatory aspect of any yield management is the ability to control capacity and the capacity of a restaurant is its tables and chairs which are its true "inventory". Without the ability to control your inventory (tables and chairs), you cannot create a proper and effective yield management system. WizButler is the only restaurant booking app Australia and in the world that allows you to be in control of your "inventory".

All other booking systems offer simply discount systems or static promotions. WizButler is a truly dynamic yield management system where you can offer different pricing for different tables, different times and different dining durations. It can also add upgrades and upsells during the booking process. A completely new and innovative digital approach that can be tailored easily to meet your preferred digital strategy.

Create amazing memories for your customers while you upsell and generate more revenue

WizButler's “Butler Service” allows you to add seamless pre-ordering to enhance any dining or hospitality experience with the addition of items for your arrival such as a guaranteed premium or window table with a view, flowers on the table, a personalised card, chilled champagne, premium booking time and extended dining duration. The Restaurant Butler Service options are only limited by your imagination.

This is a completely seamless process with orders being placed in real time with your local florists, chocolate shops and other selected suppliers. Plus, WizButler's "Butler Service" gives you the benefit of generating additional revenue and profit.

Intermezzo-1200x900mode

A pricing system that can finally do more than just offer discounts

The WizButler system allows you to determine if you wish to charge extra for "premium tables," "extended dining durations," and increase the price of different menu items during peak periods or late-night bookings. WizButler allows you to charge extra for “extra” benefits which is much more than all other competing table booking software that only has the ability to offer discounted promotional offers during low-demand periods.

Further, with the ability to create multiple widgets, there is no need to apply a one-size-fits-all approach to the entire market and specific groups or organisations can be treated separately.

WizButler-Yield-dynamic-capacity-Postales-Restaurant-Venue-Printing-Landscape (5)

Intelligent algorithms change the tables and chairs’ capacity based on the booking requests received online and in real-time

WizButler autonomously, online and in real-time adds tables, changes tables and their orientation, remove tables, adds chairs and removes chairs to ensure more bookings. Additionally, your staff does not need to monitor things manually to maximise your revenue and increase your profit.

It also can dynamically change and control capacity, permitting WizButler to be the only completely autonomous system in the world to offer the world's first restaurant yield management system.

WizButler-Booking-Yield-configurable-widget-austin-distel-2vCqH34PqWs-unsplash-Bar_HappyCustomerUsing App

Don't be limited to just one booking widget or configuration

WizButler offers you the ability to create as many different booking widgets as you feel appropriate. And the best part is, that each booking widget can be configured and tailored completely and differently to the needs of the specific customer target or segment.

Create new marketing channels and direct links with other businesses and social networks.

There is no need to wait for booking customers and their guests to arrive at your restaurant before you start taking care of them

After the booking is made, why not allow the booking customer the ability to invite guests, and pre-order food and beverages and additional items such as flowers to completely enhance and personalise their experience.

This process is not only ideal for customers as it allows them to personalise their experience, but it also allows venues to increase their revenue and minimise food wastage.

WizButler-Before-arrival-pre-orders-for-dine-in

The most diverse and comprehensive customer pre-ordering options

As part of the booking process, WizButler allows the booking requestor to invite their guests and for them to access dynamic menus with dynamic pricing.

This allows for pre-orders (and/or pre-pay) for individual items on the menu. The venue can then decide if it wishes to allow the customers to continue ordering after they arrive at the restaurant and have complete integration with kitchen printing and docket management or provide full waiter service.

WizButler-before-arrival-invite-guests

Be friendlier, communicate with all customers, get to know all your diners and build up your database quicker.

WizButler allows a booking person not only to completely edit their booking details without the necessity of phone calls but also allows them to invite their guests with a personalised photo and message. This way, it will be more engaging and it will create greater awareness of your restaurant and customer loyalty.

WizButler-before-arrival-Waitlist

Unique, simple, and automated waitlist and standby management

During the booking process, WizButler offers customers the option of alternate times should their preferred time be unavailable. It also allows customers to send an SMS message should they wish to seek further information. However, should an alternate time or message not be the customer’s preferred option, they can automatically join the "waitlist" where they will be kept updated on the restaurant's availability.

During service, when a table is not immediately available, WizButler has a "standby" feature that offers a simple, convenient and automated allocation, SMS messaging, follow-up and confirmation process.

WizButler-booking-marketing-reservation-message.mode

SMS and email messaging systems are available to completely eliminate the need for phone calls and staff managing phones.

WizButler is equipped with an SMS messaging tool for booking confirmations and ad hoc communications to eliminate the need for phone calls. WizButler also offers very affordable SMS and MMS messaging for marketing and promotional activities.

WizButler-before-arrival-eliminate-calls
Eliminate Telephone Bookings, simplify your communications and reduce staff costs

With WizButler's simple and easy to use configurable online booking widgets, customers can edit and change their bookings. Moreso, with the benefits of WizButler's real-time dynamic re-allocation process, the need for customers to call the restaurants to make a booking is completely eliminated. Similarly, VIPs are guaranteed to be seated at their favourite table, again eliminating the need for telephone bookings.

The WizButler booking widget allows customers to send SMS messages during and after the booking process to completely eliminate the need for most telephone calls.

The elimination and/or reduction of telephone calls represents huge savings in labour costs.

Would you like a completely automated seating process or a more personalised seating process? The choice is yours!

WizButler offers you the choice of a completely customisable solution to meet, greet and seat customers on arrival at your venue.

The choice varies from an automated option to a completely personalised solution.

WizButler-On-arrival-auto-maitre-d

Seat customers at their allocated table without a Host

WizButler can advise customers of their allocated table with directions on how to find it so that they can seat themselves.

In cafes and casual dining environments, this is a perfect way to manage your tables and ensure that a single person does not sit at a table for 4 or 6 and deny you revenue when you do not have the luxury of a host.

Walk-in customers can scan a QR code at the front of the restaurant to complete a simple booking process and be allocated a table or allowed to select a table from a set of tables with the correct size for the booking request.

Both booked and walk-in customers are also sent links to access your venues menus so they can also order from their mobile phones providing huge cost savings to venues and increasing revenue.

Seating app for mobile phones

WizButler offers flexibility to seat more people quickly and optimally through the wonders of a mobile seating app. For example, if your venue needs to seat 300 people arriving at the same time. With the WizButler mobile app, you can have multiple people meeting and greeting arriving guests with the convenience of an app on a mobile phone. So, there is no need for big, chunky iPads and Tablets to carry around to identify guests and seat them.

The WizButler mobile seating app has all the functionality required by the most discerning hosts in an easy-to-use mobile phone size. Old-world charm, blending with modern technology in a customer-friendly way.

QR code for walk-in and stand-by customers

No need to have a host to cater for walk-in customers or place them on a stand-by list.

Walk-In customers can simply scan a QR code on arrival for a booking allocation to save time and cost. Then they just to be shown to their allocated table or automatically placed on the standby list. Standby bookings will be automatically notified when their table opens improving efficiency and labour savings.

The world's first autonomous standby system

With the WizButler "standby" system, there’s no need to monitor standby requests, manually send messages or follow up through WizButler's completely autonomous system.

WizButler offers you a smooth and easy transition from booking, managing yield and revenue as well as the before arrival activities to the requirements during a service period

In-service ordering, upsells, revenue enhancement, customer communications, dashboard controls, payments in both cash and credit card and kitchen printing are the focus of activities during the service period.
The total focus continues to be completely customer-centric.

Dine-in, customer ordering options, automatic walk-in and seating allocations

In service ordering without the need to have ugly QR codes on the table, now that is fine dining.

Elegant, user-defined menu layouts, photos or no photos, share recipes, make ordering an experience, not a mandatory chore.

Menus are also configurable by the table, section, group size, and time with dynamic price changes to help maximise your revenue. Payments can be made in cash or electronically

AT WIZBUTLER, WE THINK DIFFERENTLY

At WizButler, we believe that we need to address the core issue facing your business, making your business more efficient and more autonomous to increase your revenue and reduce your costs in tangible and measurable ways and not slick marketing campaigns about aspects of your business that are not core elements. In fact, the more complex your operation and the busier your service is the more you need the benefits WizButler offers.
That is why we have solved your core booking, operational and revenue management issues and provide you with the tools and time savings so that you can focus on customer service, building your brand and attracting and building direct relationships with customers so that they are yours and do not “belong” to a “middle-man” booking platform.

WizButler, is the ultimate system, as it makes hard tasks you currently do manually easy!

That is why we recommend when doing your research for a new restaurant booking system, be diligent, seek proof for claims made, do thorough research and you will find WizButler is the right solution for you.

The common representations made by other restaurant booking platforms that you should consider carefully include:

You should not be misled by the marketing referring to things like booking systems being “made by hospitality professionals for hospitality professionals.” The only thing that matters is the benefits that they can deliver to your business, nothing more. The questions are therefore simple: can they autonomously optimise your online bookings, can they manage your online allocations properly, do they save you time so that you do not need to manually reallocate bookings, do they provide completely autonomous waitlist standby and no-show functionality just to name few requirements that would transform your business? WizButler can!

Never be impressed by gimmicks such as systems proposing to deliver “guest experiences” which simply rely on manual tags, manual searches and gimmicky emails being sent after the event. Tags, searches and emails are simply administrative tools that are not important enough to highlight as major features in optimising your bookings and revenue. For example, did you know that existing restaurant booking systems use search algorithms and allocation processes that can easily reject bookings when you are only 60% to 65% full, as they are incapable of rearranging existing bookings to accommodate the new bookings? Rejecting bookings and revenue when you are only 60% to 65% full is not compensated by manual tags and gimmicky emails. Irrespective, WizButler does offer its own built-in CRM, tags, emails and newsletters as part of bringing you the most complete restaurant system in the world.

It is an exaggeration for booking systems to promise to market your restaurant and bring you more customers when they focus on offering loyalty programs targeted to their brand and to their booking platform and not your restaurant. What’s even worse is they charge you a fee for reservations for people that were looking for your restaurant, to begin with. Our experience has shown that your restaurant’s online bookings will increase when you stop using these marketing platforms as you cut out the “middle man” who has a different agenda. A significant benefit of the WizButler autonomous system is that it brings you free time so that you can focus on getting the critical things right like customer service and the tools to market your venues, like promotional tracking, newsletters and targeted campaigns.

Do not be swayed by systems that promote their “Drag and Drop” feature as something that is amazing and can save you a lot of time. Drag and Drop functionality is only beneficial when your booking system is incapable of doing things properly and you are required to fix up the allocation mess made by your booking system. Further, Drag and Drop features are inefficient. For example, the Drag and Drop feature allows you to put a booking for 10 people on a table of two, it allows the booking that is being displaced by the Drag and Drop to conflict with another booking, plus the process is incapable of intelligently reallocating the displaced booking.
Simply put, “Drag and drop” is only of benefit in situations where the booking system is incapable of optimising the bookings and you are required to do this manually by trial and error if a booking has been taken and not rejected.
With WizButler’s autonomous online real-time dynamic booking optimisation booking requests are properly re-arranged and re-allocated with tables added, tables removed and tables rearranged instantly and immediately displayed on your dynamic floor plan. As such, there is no need for a manual “drag and drop” feature as the hard work is already done for you, plus WizButler does not reject bookings when your dining room is only 60% – 65% full.

All booking systems, refer to their long list of integrations with other restaurant systems. However, very few, if any, of these integrations are completely autonomous requiring you to manually maintain the integrity of those integrations. With your limited time and use of valuable resources, you do not have the time to manually keep all these promoted integrations current and updated each time you make a change to your operations. As such, these integrations add no real value to your business.
Like everything else, ask how you set up these integrations and what the process is to maintain the integration links if you change your operations, like opening hours, booking constraints, menus offered, etc. Are you required to maintain two databases and where each database does not offer you a complete picture of all your data? WizButler offers you a complete solution with one system, one database and everything at your fingertips.

The ownership of the data relating to your customers has been a hot topic for many years. Hence, most questions surrounding “your customers’ data” have been asked such as; Where is the data stored? How can I get access to the data? How can I search and analyse the data?

The approach by WizButer is simple, it is your data, stored in your own data area and you can access and analyse it at any time at your convenience.

Some booking platforms market that you only need to pay a fixed fee with no hidden charges for per person booking fees. Plus, most booking platforms offer different subscription tiers such as “basic,” “standard” and “professional” supposedly to better meet the needs of individual restaurants.

Don’t be tricked, whether you are a 50-seat restaurant, a 200-seat restaurant or a 500-seat restaurant you are dealing with the same problems and the same issues as everyone else. In fact, if you are only a 50-seat restaurant you probably have fewer resources than a 500-seat restaurant so the last thing you need is a booking system with less functionality. In fact, there is a strong argument that smaller restaurants need more systems automation than large restaurants. For large restaurants, the need for better systems, more efficient systems, automation and autonomous systems are more evident simply because of their scale. In your review of the right booking system if you are a small restaurant, don’t think you do not need or can survive without certain key features or if you are a large restaurant that you can supplement the system manually, you can’t.

The right system for you is the system that will deliver the most cost-effective benefits to you, not the cheapest system or the most popular system. Be prudent, take your time and make the right choice for you.

WizButler is the only dynamic booking system, offers the only dynamic allocation system, the only system that can add tables, remove tables and rearrange tables to maximise your revenue, reducing your need for telephone bookings and associated staff costs as well as staff costs associated with manual reallocations and preparing a table layout for staff as to how to set up the dining room.

WizButler’s pricing model is a simple monthly flat fee of only $99 for your own database and use of the fully-featured WizButler booking system. Then a simple charge of only 5 cents per person for the dynamic allocation processes which use far more resources than the static allocation processes of other booking platforms. With WizButler, your fee will only increase when you get busier and when you get busier, the benefits of the WizButler autonomous system become even bigger and more important!

General

If you elect for WizButler to install and set up your system, we will send you an information package requesting the current corporate details of your organisation, a detailed floor plan of your restaurant, details of your available furniture, your trading hours, menus and other operational constraints within 7 days of receiving your request.

WizButler will then set up your restaurant or group as a client within the WizButler System which will be undertaken within 14 days from the receipt of your successfully completed information package.

Once your system is set up your staff can be trained on your system by signing in to our daily video conference training sessions. Your training and progress with the system will then be monitored over the subsequent two-week period and advice offered on how to ensure that your venue is optimising the benefits of the WizButler system.

Waitstaff: The WizButler system has intentionally been set up so that user screens look similar to other existing systems to simplify and speed up the training of your staff when you migrate to WizButler from another system. For regular users such as waiters to learn how to navigate and use WizButler, we believe half a day training session is sufficient. This training can be undertaken through video tutorials or video conferencing or by onsite face to face training.

WizButler System Administrator: As the WizButler system is so different to all other existing systems with a completely new framework and infrastructure we recommend that your designated system administrator is given time to get familiar with the WizButler system before taking your WizButler system live and training other team members.

No, you do not need any special equipment to use the WizButler system as it is a cloud-based web application so all you need is a browser. You do not even need to download an app. We recommend the use of Google’s Chrome Browser. We also recommend the use of a 24-inch touch screen for large busy sit-down restaurants that have a formal host station. However, the system is mobile friendly and can be just as effectively used on an iPad, mini iPad or tablet by a host who does not want to be limited by a fixed reception station.

Live Video Training Conferences: These are daily conferences held during office hours Monday to Friday, where a WizButler trainer interacts and trains your staff. Registration for the course is required at least 2 days before your preferred course day and the course fee is $100 for Australian participants.

Private Video Training Conferences: These can be arranged for any WizButler subscriber by inquiring through our email system. The costs will vary based on the type of training required and the length of the training sought.

Training at our facilities: These can be arranged for any WizButler subscriber by inquiring through our email system. The costs will vary based on the type of training required and the length of the training sought.

Site visit to your restaurant: These can be arranged for any WizButler subscriber by inquiring through our email system. The costs will vary based on the type of training required and the length of the training sought.

Yes, you can transfer all customer data from your current systems to WizButler as long as you have access to that data and that data is not the “ownership” and proprietary information of your current system supplier. In the event that your historical data is the “ownership” and proprietary information of your current booking system provider then we suggest that you should leave that supplier as a matter of priority otherwise you will always be at their mercy.

Of course, as the WizButler system work and uses a completely different framework your restaurant will need to be set up using the proprietary WizButler customer framework and information such as the table and table combinations lists currently used by your existing restaurant systems will be completely redundant. As such, the restaurant constraints within your current system represent useless and unnecessary information.

Absolutely, WizButler has its own built-in system for creating marketing campaigns and specific promotions and tracking those events so that you can measure their success. WizButler also has its own analytics tracking so that you can see the source of any booking as well as see why booking requests that we started but never completed giving you a powerful analytics platform to complement Google Analytics.
