HostMate is a real-time booking board and shift checklist built for restaurant hosts — one shared view of every table, every timeslot, on every device at the podium.
Built around how a real host stand runs a shift — not a generic reservation system bolted on afterward.
A visual floor plan that shows which tables are booked, seated, or free — with a time scrubber to preview any slot ahead.
Every booking generates its own prep and seating events automatically, grouped by time, so nothing gets missed during a rush.
Check something off at the podium and it updates instantly on the manager's tablet — no refreshing, no double-checking.
Get a push notification a few minutes ahead of the next wipe or seat, so hosts stay a step ahead instead of reacting.
Drop in a RunSheet export and bookings load straight onto the board — no manual re-typing at the start of shift.
One shared login for the host stand, a separate PIN for admin settings — nothing to configure device by device.
Your hours, table layout, and checklist events are configured once, specific to how your floor actually runs.
Hosts open the board on any device — phone, tablet, or the host stand screen — with a shared PIN.
Bookings, the table map, and the checklist stay in lockstep across every device, all shift long.
Every venue starts on a free trial. Upgrade when you're ready for the full floor view.
