Group dining

Group dinners, without chasing anyone.

Turno handles your restaurant's group dinners by text. Each guest confirms, flags their allergies and pays their deposit by card in their own chat, with nothing to download. The day before, the sheet for the table reaches the restaurant: how many are coming, which allergies to plan for and which deposits are paid.

Ana's chat, one of the guests. Marta invited her to dinner on Friday at Taberna Brisa: Ana taps “I'm in”, flags gluten as her allergy and pays her deposit with the “Pay by card” button.

How a group dinner comes together, step by step

Group dinners are the most work: who is coming, who has an allergy, who has paid. Turno handles it by text, guest by guest.

  1. Marta books for eight

    She texts the number and asks for Friday. Turno books the table and texts each guest, one by one.

  2. Each guest confirms, flags allergies and pays

    Ana says she is in, flags that she has celiac disease and pays her deposit by card. All in her own chat, nothing to download. Turno nudges whoever has not answered.

  3. The day before, the sheet reaches the restaurant

    Laura gets the sheet for the table: how many are coming, which allergies to plan for and which deposits are paid.

What each guest does in their own chat

Turno texts each guest, one by one, and each one answers in their own chat. Nobody downloads anything.

  • Confirms

    They get the invitation with the day, the time and the restaurant, and answer with a button: “I'm in” or “Can't make it”. Turno nudges whoever has not answered.

  • Flags allergies

    Turno asks whether there are any allergies the kitchen should know about. Allergies are on the sheet before the party arrives and, on allergies, Turno always answers according to the house sheet.

  • Pays their deposit

    By card, inside the chat. The deposit is charged on behalf of your restaurant, and you set the amount.

What the restaurant gets: the sheet for the table

The day before the dinner, the sheet for the table reaches the owner's chat. It carries what the restaurant needs to get the table ready: how many are coming, which allergies to plan for and which deposits are paid.

On the night, each guest sees the menu filtered for their allergy, according to the house sheet; Turno checks every dish in the order against every allergy before it reaches the kitchen, and the check arrives split. See how it works at the table
