Tables, booked on your own site
No cover charge, no marketplace, no listing sitting next to every other restaurant on the street.
Reservation platforms charge per cover, and the good ones charge a lot. What they sell you is discovery — but for most restaurants the discovery already happened on Google, and the platform is collecting a fee for a booking you had already won.
Clay takes the reservation on your own page, off your real capacity. Nobody names a table: you say how many tables of what size you have, and the times offered are the ones where a party of that size can actually sit.
Capacity, not a spreadsheet
A table is a size and a count — four twos, three fours, one big one. A party of five is offered the times where something that seats five is free.
That is the whole configuration. There is no table map to draw and no table numbers to invent.
The menu is right there
The reason a booking form on its own converts badly is that people book after they have read the menu. On a Clay site the menu is one band above the booking, and both are on the page they landed on from Google.

Questions
Do I have to name every table?
No, and that is deliberate. You give the sizes and how many of each; nobody has to keep a floor plan up to date.
Can I stop bookings for tonight?
Yes — close a day or a service, and the slots stop being offered.
What about walk-ins?
Nothing changes. The site only knows about what was booked through it, so keep whatever you keep for the door.
Is there a cover charge?
No. Booking is part of the site.
Can I ask for a deposit on large tables only?
Yes — set the party size it starts at, so the table of twelve is protected and the table of two is not asked for a card.
Will guests see the menu before they book?
It is a band above the booking on the same page, which is the order people actually decide in: how the menu works.
Do you send the guest a reminder?
They get a confirmation with the time, the address and a link to change or cancel. There is no automatic reminder message yet.
