Food and Beverage Booking App in Ghana

Food businesses do not only sell food; many sell time. A restaurant in Osu takes table reservations for Friday dinners, a private chef in East Legon books home dining appointments, a cake designer in Kumasi schedules tasting consultations for wedding cakes, a caterer meets clients to plan menus, and a cooking school runs weekend classes. AyaBookings lets food and beverage businesses list those bookable services with set times and staff. Bookings arrive from the web, WhatsApp and USSD alike, and an SMS nudges each guest before they come. You can take a Mobile Money deposit for private chef bookings, large tables or cooking classes. Reservations and your guest list stay on your phone. There is no charge to use AyaBookings; a bill paid in cash is fee-free and 5% comes off MoMo paid online. Food orders and deliveries stay with your current setup; AyaBookings handles the booked time. A restaurant might offer table reservations for lunch and dinner and a separate booking for a private room. A private chef might list a dinner for two, a family lunch and a meal-prep consultation. A cake designer might list a tasting appointment and a design consultation. Each one comes with a length, so you know exactly how much of the day or evening is committed before you start buying ingredients and assigning staff.

Built for how you work in Ghana

  • Weekend dinners and occasions like Valentine's Day or Mother's Day fill quickly, and knowing reservations in advance helps you plan staff, seating and stock.
  • A private chef booking takes a whole evening, sometimes in a client's home in Trasacco or Cantonments, so a deposit protects that time and the ingredients you buy.
  • Cake designers often meet couples for tastings weeks before a wedding, and a reminder makes sure the couple turns up while the samples are fresh.
  • AyaBookings does not handle food delivery or takeaway orders; it manages time that customers book with you, such as tables, tastings and classes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take table reservations?
Yes. Create a reservation service with the length you hold each table, for example two hours for dinner. Diners choose a time and you know how many are coming before the evening starts.
Is this for food delivery orders?
No. AyaBookings manages bookable time: table reservations, private chef appointments, cake tastings, catering meetings and cooking classes. Delivery and takeaway orders stay with your current setup.
Can I take deposits for private dining?
Yes. Ask for MoMo upfront on private chef bookings, large tables or classes, so you are not buying ingredients for guests who don't come.
What does it cost a restaurant or chef?
Using AyaBookings costs nothing. Guests who pay their bill in cash bring no fee. Deposits or Anything paid by MoMo through your page has 5% removed.
Can guests book on WhatsApp?
Yes. A diner who messages on WhatsApp can complete the reservation in that chat, and it shows up on your list.
Will guests get reminders?
Yes. An SMS reminder goes to each guest before the booking, which helps reduce empty reserved tables on busy nights.
