TableFlow in the United Arab Emirates, honestly.
What we could verify about hospitality in the United Arab Emirates, and an honest note on what TableFlow can and cannot do there today.
What applies across the United Arab Emirates
How TableFlow works here.
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.
- Guest profiles, email campaigns, quotes and guest feedback work the same everywhere.
Not yet, or different
- Online payments run through Mollie, which only serves businesses in the EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, so deposits and gift card sales aren't possible here.
- TableFlow runs on Amsterdam time by default. You can't choose another time zone in the settings yet, so we set it for you.
