Born at Bistro & Boules: booking without an account, rules that apply themselves, payment through Mollie and a live staff screen. Now a product for any venue that sells lanes, tables or packages.
What it is
A booking system is more than a calendar. JABL Reserve combines the guest’s booking, the venue’s rules, the payment and the team’s screen in one platform, with no loose tools in between.
Who it’s for
For venues where guests book more than a table: a lane, an activity or a package, with food and drinks. And for owners who want to spend less time on the phone.
A guided tour
Guest, team and owner
Book in ten taps
One question per screen, the price always visible and no account. Choices stay at the top as chips; going back costs nothing.
Free times, live
The quick-book block on the homepage shows what’s available straight from the system. Pick, continue, done.
One screen for the floor
Lanes and tables on a live timeline. Drag to another lane or time, walk-ins in seconds, group requests set aside for the manager. Sign-in per staff member with a PIN.
Rules, prices and occupancy
Lanes, prices, off-peak rates, opening hours and closed days in one admin behind two-step verification, with occupancy per hour per week.
Emails on brand
Confirmation, reminder, change and cancellation, readable in Gmail, Apple Mail and Outlook. Guests change or cancel themselves through the link.
What’s inside
JABL Reserve- 01
Rules engine
Capacity per lane, off-peak rates by day and time, closed days and a group threshold that turns large bookings into requests. All configurable, nothing hard-coded.
- 02
Risk-free payments
Mollie with iDEAL, card and Apple Pay. The slot is held for ten minutes during payment and only becomes final after the confirmed webhook.
- 03
Self-service
Guests change or cancel themselves through a secure link, within your terms. Fewer calls, fewer no-shows.
- 04
Integrations
Tables through the GuestPlan Booking API next to your existing system, or through the built-in table module. Email through Resend, payments through Mollie.
- 05
Your brand
Switchable themes on one codebase. Bistro & Boules runs three, so the choice could be made on the real site.
- 06
Safe and fast
Two-step verification, roles, PINs and auto-lock. Tested with Playwright, Vitest and axe-core, hosted in the EU.

In practice
Built by JABLFrequently asked
Does it work next to my current booking system?
Yes. At Bistro & Boules tables run through GuestPlan and lanes through JABL Reserve, in one flow for the guest.
Do guests need an account?
No. Booking, changing and cancelling all work without an account.
Can it run on my own domain?
Yes. We set it up on your own domain, as a complete site or next to your existing website.
What does it cost?
It depends on the number of lanes, locations and integrations. Book a demo and you’ll get a tailored proposal.
