IonaCovers

She books your covers — and covers your phone. The restaurant booking system that finally captures every booking: web, phone and walk-in, in one diary.

The problem

Booking platforms only see half your bookings

The big systems charge you per cover, lock you to their card machine, and only ever capture the bookings made through their own widget. Every phone booking and walk-in still lives in a paper diary or someone's memory — so no one really knows what demand looks like.

Worse, when the phone rings during service and no one can answer, that table is simply lost.

The fix

One diary. Every booking.

Iona Covers brings web, phone and walk-in bookings into a single system you own — with no per-cover commission and no forced card processor. And because Iona answers the phone, she takes bookings by voice too, 24/7.

It's the one thing no booking platform can match: the system that also picks up the phone.

How it works

Three ways in, one place to see it all

Bookings come in

From your website, from walk-ins, and — uniquely — from the phone, where Iona takes the booking herself when you can't.

Everything lands in one diary

Every request, whatever the channel, drops into a single owner's dashboard — with automatic confirmations and reminders to cut no-shows.

You see the full picture

Covers by date, busiest nights, demand at a glance — the business intelligence a phone-only or widget-only setup simply can't give you.

Why restaurants switch

Everything the big platforms do — minus the parts you hate

Bookings by phone

Iona answers and books over the phone, day or night — the moat no competitor has.

One unified diary

Web, phone and walk-in bookings together — never double-booked, always in sync.

Confirmations & reminders

Automatic texts and emails that slash no-shows — where booking platforms earn their keep.

Flat fee, no commission

One predictable price. We never take a cut of your covers — keep 100% of every booking.

Your data, your card machine

You own your guest data and keep whatever card processor you like. No lock-in.

Real demand insight

See covers by date and your busiest times — plan staff and stock with confidence.
