Reservation app for small restaurants

Build a simple table reservation system for small eateries that can't afford complex POS integrations. Target cafes and family-run restaurants in South Korea.

Why now

Tabling's success shows demand for restaurant tech in Korea, but many small venues still handle bookings via phone or paper.

Who for
Small restaurant owners
Business model
Monthly SaaS subscription
Effort
A few weeks

Small restaurants lose customers when phone lines are busy and can't track walk-in vs reservation ratios.

A web-based booking system with SMS confirmations and waitlist management that works without POS integration.

Restaurant owners pay monthly to reduce no-shows and optimize seating.

MVP: Twilio-integrated web form that texts confirmations and collects cancellations.

Risk: Low-tech owners may resist digitizing their process.
