TableFlow comes from Nijmegen in the Netherlands and runs in the founder's own ten venues.
Works
- Bookings on your own website, with the widget in six languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
- Confirmations and other guest emails, with default texts in those same six languages.
- Deposits, quotes with a deposit and gift cards through your own Mollie account, in euros.
- Guest profiles, email campaigns, quotes and guest feedback work the same everywhere.
Not yet, or different
- The Mollie payment page for a gift card still opens in Dutch.
