We have a reservation at 7:30. My son has a severe peanut allergy. Is the kitchen ok with that?
Yes. The note is on your 7:30 PM reservation and the kitchen has it. The fryer is shared, so ask your server before ordering anything fried. The chef will come by the table.
Thank you, that is a relief.
Hi Omar, Harbor Kitchen. A table for 4 at 7:45 PM tonight just opened. You asked us to text if Friday came up. Want it?
Yes, we will be there.
It is yours: tonight 7:45 PM, table for 4 under Omar. See you soon.
Can we book the back room for a rehearsal dinner on 11/14? About 30 guests.
The back room seats 32 and 11/14 is open. Private dinners start at $75 a person with a $1,500 minimum. Want a tasting first? Tuesday 10/20 at 5:00 PM is open.
Tasting sounds great. Tuesday works.
Booked: tasting Tuesday 10/20, 5:00 PM with Daniel, and 11/14 held for 30 guests until then. The sample menu is in the next text.
Where restaurants lose money, and what Foreman does
The numbers are worked examples to show the shape of the leak, not results. Your own numbers come from your calendar and your phone log on the setup call.
Missed calls during the rush
Example: A 40-seat place that misses 6 calls a night, where 2 were tables of 4 at a $45 check, is looking at about $360 a night that ate somewhere else.
Foreman: Foreman texts the caller back within 60 seconds, offers the real openings from OpenTable, Resy or your book, and takes the reservation with the party size and the allergy note.
Catering quotes that never got a follow-up
Example: An office that asks 3 restaurants for a lunch quote orders from the one that answered with a price and a menu.
Foreman: Foreman quotes from your catering menu and minimums, sends the menu, takes the deposit and puts the order on the calendar. Changes come to you for a tap.
Cancellations and no-shows
Example: A no-show on a Friday 4-top is the most expensive table of the week, and the waitlist never hears about it.
Foreman: Foreman confirms at noon, releases the cancellation to the waitlist the minute it opens, and the first yes gets the table.
Regulars who stopped coming
Example: Most restaurants have hundreds of past guests in the reservation book and no way to reach them.
Foreman: Foreman spots guests who have gone quiet and sends a short note in your voice with an open table, within the limits you set.

Questions restaurant owners ask
It offers the nearest real openings and the waitlist. Nothing is booked that the book does not show, and when a table opens the waitlist gets it in order.
Yes. You set the minimum order, the lead time and the delivery radius. Foreman quotes inside those rules and sends anything outside them to you with the details.
Yes. It replies in the language the guest writes in, in your voice, and the reservation note shows the language so the host knows.
It notes the allergy on the reservation and tells the guest what you have written down about the kitchen (shared fryer, nut-free dessert). It never guesses about ingredients.
Yes. OpenTable, Resy, Toast, SevenRooms, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, DoorDash and Yelp Guest Manager are all live connections. Reservations are written to your book and texted to the host.
Yes. Parties above the size you set get a deposit link with the booking, and the table is held until it is paid.
