Stop guessing.
Start pre-ordering.
WoodenSpoon lets your guests choose their dishes before they arrive — so your kitchen knows what's coming, your team is more efficient, and every table spends more.
The Numbers
The ROI case for pre-ordering
Less waste. Happier kitchens. Higher covers. The impact is measurable from day one.
Across active restaurants on the platform — without any guest-facing pressure.
Guests who pre-order consistently commit to more dishes — and follow through.
Advance dish visibility means mise en place happens earlier, and service runs smoother.
The Platform
How WoodenSpoon works
Two perspectives. One seamless system — built into your existing workflow.
Guest books via OpenTable as normal
Nothing changes for the guest at booking. No extra steps, no new accounts, no friction.
A WoodenSpoon link arrives in the confirmation email
Embedded automatically in your OpenTable confirmation. The link contains no personal data — just the restaurant identifier.
Guest lands on a branded pre-order page
Automatically entered booking reference number. WoodenSpoon validates it against OpenTable in real time — no name, email, or phone required.
Guest browses the menu and selects dishes
The correct menu for their booking date and time loads automatically. For group bookings, each guest can select their own dishes via a shareable link.
Pre-order is submitted and locked
An on-screen confirmation is shown. Guests can update their pre-order up to 24 hours before arrival (configurable). No emails sent — nothing to unsubscribe from.
GDPR by design — no personal data stored
WoodenSpoon holds only the OpenTable booking reference. No names, emails, or phone numbers are stored. All data is permanently deleted 7 days after the booking date.
Features
Everything your operations team needs
Built specifically for restaurant groups — not adapted from generic food-tech.
OpenTable Integration
Plugs directly into your existing booking confirmation flow. No new systems for guests, no changes to how they book.
No App. No Account.
Guests pre-order via a simple link. No download, no sign-up, no password. Just a booking reference and a menu.
Real-Time Dashboard
Live view of today's pre-orders across your entire estate — by brand, by location, by booking. Ideal for FOH briefings.
Daily Digest Email
A consolidated morning briefing sent automatically to your kitchen — one sheet per booking, plus a total dish count summary.
GDPR by Design
No guest emails, names, or phones stored. The booking reference is the only identifier. Data is deleted 7 days post-booking at the database level.
Multi-Brand Ready
One corporate account, multiple brands and locations. Pricing tiers adjust automatically as your estate grows — no renegotiation needed.
