Beer sommeliers: booking beer and food pairing dinners

A pairing dinner works when every seat is filled and the kitchen knows the numbers days ahead. Put each dinner on a booking page with a set number of seats: guests book at any hour, the dinner closes itself when it's full, and you send the restaurant a final count with dietary needs.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Times, places and prices are examples: set your own, and say what's included: courses, beers, tasting notes.

Set places to the seats the restaurant or brewery gives you. Each online booking takes one place, so a couple books twice. When the last seat is booked, the dinner leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the guest's calendar file. Ask for allergies, vegetarian choices and who they're sitting with. Say in the description the menu, the minimum age according to the rules that apply to you, and whether a non-alcoholic pairing is offered.

If you run dinners in different restaurants, create one service per venue and date, with the address in the description, so guests see where to go.

For a birthday or a team, create a private dinner service with one place per slot: one booking takes the evening. Slots of different services can overlap, so keep private and public dinners on different dates.

Plan a dinner a month around seasonal beers, and share the programme a few weeks ahead with past guests.

Guests can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments or sell tickets. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
