The inquiry landed mid-service and booked itself overnight
Auberfield House is a restaurant we invented, with forty seats in the back room and a planner who writes at 8:52 on a Tuesday.
Before: about two days
Event inquiries sat in a shared inbox, dates were promised from memory, and deposits took three text reminders.
Now: two minutes
A proposal with the room held and a deposit link went out while the kitchen kept cooking.
Set like the table
A planner finds Auberfield on a Tuesday night, with two other rooms open in other tabs. Underneath, it is five layers, each doing one job for the house.
The first three seconds
The name, one phone number and a book-the-back-room button that never moves.
The room sells itself
One picture of the table set and lit, one line about dinner and events, and one button.
Every door ends at one form
Dinner, events, catering and holiday orders each end at a form the kitchen can act on.
Other people’s parties
Short words from guests in nearby towns about speed, allergies and ease.
Hours, parking and deposit terms
The questions that would otherwise ring the phone during service, answered at the foot of every page.

The back room, when the night matters

What runs behind the pass
It turns event inquiries into event cards with a suggested menu for the headcount, and releases unconfirmed holds on time.
Her note becomes an event
A planner asks about the back room for a rehearsal dinner. The system reads her note as an event and finds the room free on the 14th.

What the planner wrote
Rehearsal dinner for my daughter, Saturday the 14th, around 30 people.

The deposit clears overnight and the book updates itself. By morning the kitchen has one sheet to cook from, with both allergies carried.
The owner walked in to a booked Saturday she never chased.
