Restaurants & Cafés
Take reservations, reduce no-shows, track ingredients
Restaurants, cafés, catering businesses, and food stalls deal with no-shows that leave tables empty, chaotic reservations via Facebook, and no visibility into ingredient cost. Skaly brings structure to table management and ingredient tracking.
Common struggles in this industry
Reservation no-shows
A party of 8 booked for Saturday night. They don't show up. You turned away walk-ins for a table you thought was reserved. At a high-demand venue, one no-show costs more than the add-on.
Reservation chaos across channels
Bookings via Facebook DM, Instagram comment, phone call, and walk-in — all going into a paper notebook. Staff miss entries, double-book tables, and argue about who was booked first.
Ingredient cost untracked
No clear picture of food cost per dish. Wastage happens without detection. Ordering is based on gut feel, not actual consumption data.
No digital ordering or pre-payment
Catering events require a 50% deposit but collection is via GCash message, written down in a notes app. No formal confirmation, no invoice, no record.
Low Google visibility
Tourists and new residents search "café near me" or "rooftop restaurant [city]" — and find competitors who appear first because they have a website with SEO.
How Skaly solves these
Table reservation calendar
Each table has its own booking slot. Online reservation with GCash deposit for large parties. No payment, no confirmed reservation.
Catering booking with deposit flow
Catering orders go through a booking form — event date, guest count, menu package — with required deposit payment via GCash or Maya. Invoice generated automatically.
Ingredient and packaging inventory
Track key ingredients, packaging, gas cylinders, and condiments. Low-stock alerts before service starts, not after.
Finance dashboard per revenue stream
Dine-in, delivery, catering, and events tracked separately. Revenue by month, by product, and by payment method.
SEO-optimized restaurant website
A website that shows up on Google when tourists and locals search for dining options in your area — with a visible menu and booking button.
