From the waiting line
to a seated guest.
Fooding is subscription software for restaurant owners: waitlist check-in, guest calling and seating, and loyalty points in one place. Billed per store, with a free plan to start.
Free sign-up · No card required
How waiting guests get lost at peak hours
No idea how long
Without an estimated wait time, guests see the line and walk away.
Called, but gone
Calling names out loud misses guests who stepped away and slows down the next table.
No way to bring them back
Without contact or visit history, a first visit rarely turns into a regular.

FAQ
What is Fooding?
Operations software (SaaS) that restaurant owners subscribe to per store: waitlist check-in and calling, points and coupons, and store and menu management. The guest-facing Fooding app (fooding.im) is free.
How am I billed?
A subscription per store, renewed automatically monthly or yearly. Annual billing costs 10 months of the monthly price. Prices exclude applicable taxes.
How do cancellation and refunds work?
Request within 30 days of any payment, first or renewal, for a full refund, with no limit on how many times. Cancelling stops billing from the next cycle; after 30 days, annual plans are refunded the amount paid × days remaining ÷ 365. See the refund policy for details.
Who processes international payments?
International payments are processed by Paddle.com as Merchant of Record. Receipts and refunds are handled through Paddle.
Do I need special hardware?
No. The waitlist kiosk runs on a tablet you already have; the POS screen and owner console run in a web browser.
How long can I use the free plan?
With no time limit. Upgrade per store when you need paid features.
