Restaurant Reservations and Deposits in Galway
Galway's restaurants ride waves of demand: festival weeks, race meetings, tourist season and a steady local trade all pile pressure onto a limited number of tables. Making the most of every cover, and protecting against the no-shows that hit hardest on the busiest nights, is what keeps a Galway restaurant healthy. Mosey Reservations gives you a full booking system with deposits and no-show protection built in, starting free.
Diners book you inside the Mosey app, but your reach goes further. Mosey gives you a shareable booking page you can put in your Instagram bio, on your Google listing or behind a printed QR code on your tables and door, and you can embed the booking form on your own website so customers book without leaving your site. Anyone can book as a guest with just their name and contact details, while diners with a Mosey account get their booking saved automatically. Wherever a Galway visitor discovers you, booking is a couple of taps away.
Protect your busiest tables with deposits
On peak nights, deposits and card-holds protect you from costly no-shows. With a pay-now deposit the guest is charged when they book; with a card-hold, nothing is charged unless they fail to show. You apply this selectively, to large groups or busy periods, rather than every table, and diners see the amount and refund policy before they confirm. When a cancellation does come, the slot can be listed on the last-minute table marketplace for other Galway diners to claim, so your table gets refilled and you are paid either way.
Pricing that starts at nothing
Mosey Reservations runs on three tiers so cost matches your size. The Free tier handles up to 75 bookings a month with online booking, ideal for a small place testing the water. Starter, at €79.99 a month, lifts you to 200 bookings and adds the waitlist, guest profiles and a staff panel. Host, at €169.99 a month, removes the booking limit and unlocks the floor plan editor and full table management for a busy, high-volume Galway restaurant. You can change tier whenever you like, and downgrades keep your features until the end of the billing period.
A full host stand, not just a widget
Inside the dashboard you get a live view of every reservation with guest name, time, party size and status, plus a calendar across your week. You can confirm or decline bookings, add manual ones, and see allergens, accessibility needs and table preferences guests enter. On the Host tier the visual floor plan assigns tables automatically as bookings come in. You set your reservation hours separately from opening hours, your party-size limits, lead time and cancellation policy. It scales from your first quiet Tuesday to your busiest festival Saturday.
