HouseFull · for hospitality & local venues

Six empty chairs on a Friday night. They booked. They just never came.

HouseFull confirms every booking, reminds every guest, and puts a deposit link on the big tables, the combination that cuts no-shows hardest. It also answers the big party enquiry within minutes instead of when the manager gets a minute, fills freed slots from your waitlist, and asks for the review while the evening is still warm. Set up and run for you.

Answering calls for property firms every day.

The guarantee

It books, or your first month is free.

One month up front, no setup fee. If it has not booked you a single appointment in thirty days, we refund that month in full and you never pay a setup fee at all.

Run for you

Nothing about how you work changes.

You keep your number, your diary and your CRM. There is no software to learn and no dashboard to babysit. We build it, connect it, watch it and tune it, and send you a weekly note of what it caught.

Done properly

It never values, never adjudicates, never decides about a person.

It books the valuer rather than naming a figure. It will not interpret a lease or rule on a service charge. It never scores an applicant or decides right to rent, and every caller is told plainly that it is an assistant.

The numbers behind the problem

This is an industry-wide leak, not a you problem.

12-15%

typical UK restaurant no-show rate; with deposits and reminders it usually falls under 5 per cent.

Booking-platform datasets

£800-2,500

the value of a typical function or party enquiry, most of which never receive a proposal.

UK hospitality market research

3 hours

after the visit is the sweet spot for a review request, while the evening is still fresh.

Review-collection timing research

These are industry-wide research figures, not our client results. We are honest about that; the pilot measures your own numbers instead.

What HouseFull runs

Everything below is included, from day one.

Five jobs, all included, covering the phone, the diary, the reviews and the regulars you have not seen in a while.

Reservation and booking

The booking line answered at 7:30 on a Friday.

Industry research puts it plainly: UK restaurant no-show rates run 12 to 15 per cent, and with deposits and a proper reminder sequence they typically fall under 5 per cent. Every booking gets confirmed, reminded the day before and again on the day. Big tables and events leave a deposit, which is the single best no-show killer there is. If someone cancels, the slot is offered to your waitlist before it goes cold.

Who it’s for: Venues where the phone rings at the pass, at the worst possible moment.
What you get: A fuller room, and covers that actually turn up.

How it runs

Guest messaging and FAQ

Answered while the kitchen is on fire.

Guests ask the same twenty things: parking, the set menu, whether you do gluten free, how to find the door. All of it gets answered in minutes from your own information, in your own tone. Anything that needs a human, gets one.

Who it’s for: Anyone who has read a guest message three hours late and winced.
What you get: Guests who arrive informed, and a phone that stops interrupting service.

How it runs

Review requests and responses

Reviews from the people who already enjoyed it.

A few hours after the visit, while it is still fresh, a request goes out by text. Happy guests get the link. Anyone who was not happy reaches you privately, first, which is worth more than the review. Replies to what does get posted are drafted for you and never published without your approval.

Who it’s for: Venues with a great room and a thin recent review count.
What you get: A review count that reflects how good the place actually is.

How it runs

Upsell and loyalty

The regulars you have not seen in a while, brought back.

The list is checked against your consent records before a single word is written, and anyone we cannot lawfully message is never contacted. Then the regulars who have gone quiet get a personal note, and the people who came at Christmas hear from you before this one. Booked straight into the diary.

Who it’s for: Venues sitting on a customer list they have never once messaged.
What you get: Tables filled by people who already like you.

How it runs

Event and enquiry qualification

The big function enquiry answered before it goes cold.

The party enquiry that is worth more than a Tuesday night sits in the inbox waiting for someone to get a minute, and most never receive a proposal at all. Yours gets answered within minutes with your packages and prices, asked the questions that matter (date, numbers, budget), and followed up on day 3, day 7 and day 14 until you have an answer.

Who it’s for: Venues where the function enquiry waits for the manager to get a minute.
What you get: The bookings that used to quietly go elsewhere.

How it runs

Done properly

Guest messaging, done the way the rules expect.

Almost everything HouseFull sends relates to a booking the guest made or an enquiry they sent, which keeps it clean on consent. The marketing edge cases, win-backs and birthday offers, are consent-checked before a single message is written.

How we keep it lawful

Booking messages are service, not marketing

Confirmations, reminders and deposit requests relate to the guest’s own booking. Sending them promptly is simply running a tight ship.

Win-backs only with a basis

Lapsed-guest and birthday messages go only to guests whose consent or customer relationship is on record, checked automatically first.

Allergen answers are never improvised

Menu and allergen questions are answered only from text you approved, word for word, or passed to a human. The assistant never guesses about allergies.

Disclosed, and stoppable

Automated messages say they are automated, and "STOP" ends all automated contact with that guest instantly, on every channel.

Typical timeline

The no-show shield live on your bookings within days; the full service running in 3 to 4 weeks.

HouseFull runs on three rungs: Core £299 a month, Growth £599, Premium £999, each with a one-time setup fee. Everything in your rung is included, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice.
