Hi, can I book a table for 6 for brunch this Sunday?21:03
Of course! We serve brunch until 1pm on Sundays. What time would suit your group of 6?21:03
Around 11. Also one of us is coeliac, do you have gluten free?21:04
We do, we have a dedicated gluten-free brunch menu and take allergies seriously. 11am for 6 works nicely. Can I take a name and number to hold the table?21:04

Why Edinburgh cafés choose PocketChats

During the rush, nobody can answer the phone or reply to messages, which is exactly when people want to book a table or ask about catering for the office.

For a Edinburgh café, captured bookings and catering jobs are spend you'd otherwise miss, so every captured enquiry counts.

  • Enquiries missed during busy periods
  • Repetitive menu, allergen and opening-hours questions
  • Catering and event enquiries lost
  • Table bookings not captured
