Ask for Offer

Fill empty tables, automatically.

When your restaurant is quiet, Nowish offers a deal on your own website — and switches it off when you're busy. The owner sets the rules once.

How it works

Real screens, from our demo restaurant.

Kiln House, Gurugram, is the restaurant we demo Nowish on. Its guests and figures are made up; the screens are the real thing.

  1. Kiln House's website with today's offer across the top: dessert for the table, 7:00–10:00 PM, for 4 or more — Ask for Offer.
    01

    Today's offer, on your website

    Whenever your rules allow an offer, a strip across the top of your site says what it is, and invites guests to ask.

  2. Your offer, just for you: Kiln House would like to offer a complimentary dessert with dinner tonight, valid until 9:01 PM — Accept in My visits.
    02

    A private offer, at once

    A guest says how many and when, with their first name, and gets a private, time-limited offer straight away. They accept it in My visits to get their code. When there's no offer, they're told so politely, with a way to book.

  3. Ask for Offer rules: offer while the floor is less than 40% full, food only, never on weekends, never on holidays, with the holiday dates listed.
    03

    Your rules, set once

    Only when the floor is quiet. Food only, drinks excluded. Never on weekends. Never on your holidays — the national holidays are filled in for you to change.

  4. Guest offers: requested 1, offered 1, accepted 0, redeemed 0, and today's request from Asha for 4 guests with the offer sent.
    04

    Every request, and what came of it

    Today's requests, what was offered, accepted and redeemed, and what offer guests paid.

Questions

What owners ask

Do I have to approve each offer?

No. Offers turn on and off by themselves, within your rules. You can change the rules, or switch it off, at any time.

What does a guest see when there's no offer?

A polite note that there is no offer right now, and a way to book a table.

Is Ask for Offer protected?

Patent pending: an Indian patent application for it has been filed. The IP notice has the details.
