Phone bookings, even in the middle of service
At 2:30 pm and 9:30 pm nobody can answer the phone: the dining room is full and the kitchen is flat out. That's exactly when people call to book a table for Saturday. DevRoam takes the booking with the number of guests, time, terrace or inside and allergies, and respects your sittings.
