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.
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 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.
Two hours a table, or a fixed first and second sitting, whichever your room actually does.
Optional, and you can set it to apply from a party size upwards.
An email with the party, the time and their phone number, replyable straight back to the guest.
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
Type your name, Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.

Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot, so what you see is what it looks like right now.
No, and that is deliberate. You give the sizes and how many of each; nobody has to keep a floor plan up to date.
Yes, close a day or a service, and the slots stop being offered.
Nothing changes. The site only knows about what was booked through it, so keep whatever you keep for the door.
No. Booking is part of the site.
Yes, set the party size it starts at, so the table of twelve is asked for one and the table of two is not. It is still an amount stated on the booking, not money taken.
It is a band above the booking on the same page, which is the order people actually decide in: how the menu works.
They get a confirmation with the time, the address and a link to change or cancel. There is no automatic reminder message yet.
