One platform for the whole restaurant.
Most independent restaurants run on a patchwork: a website from one company, bookings from another, orders through a marketplace, a till, a rota spreadsheet and a mailing list. TableSpark puts all of it behind one login, with one menu and one guest list that belongs to the restaurant.
orders, service, team and guests
Every seam in the patchwork costs something.
A guest who books in one system and orders in another becomes two half-records, so nobody sees a regular. Each channel bills its own fee. A price change has to be made in four places. And the part nobody owns is search: a site can load at a working link and still be poorly set up for Google. When TableSpark checked 1,000 independent UK restaurant websites, the gaps were plain.
Shares of the 755 homepages that loaded in a seeded random sample of 1,000 independent UK restaurants, each checked on 11 October 2026 as served without JavaScript. Method and full results in the restaurant website checklist.
Ten parts, one system.
The parts follow the order an owner meets them, from the first page a guest sees to the report you read the morning after. Each one names the plan that carries it.
A website that starts from your menu.
Every planPhotograph or upload the menu and TableSpark drafts the whole site from it: sections, dishes, prices, hours and pages, ready to review. Choose one of fifty restaurant designs, change anything with the drag-and-drop editor, and publish on a free tablespark.uk address.

Live is not the same as found.
A website can answer at a working link and still be absent from Google: a stray noindex, a conflicting canonical, a page nothing links to or a menu only in a PDF can leave it undiscovered or misunderstood. Guests searching your name or your dishes then reach a directory or a marketplace first. TableSpark packages the search set-up into the website, so nobody has to hire a technician to assemble it. Indexing and ranking stay Google's decisions; the set-up is done.

What owners ask first.
What is TableSpark?
A restaurant platform for independent UK restaurants that puts the website, live menu, table bookings, online ordering, service console and till, kitchen screens, staff rota, guest records, email and marketing behind one login. The menu is entered once and used everywhere, and every booking and order becomes a guest record in the restaurant's own account.
Do I have to switch everything at once?
No. Start with the website on Starter, then switch on bookings, service and the rest on Growth, and ordering on Full, when you are ready. You build free until you publish.
Does TableSpark take commission?
No. TableSpark takes 0% commission on direct bookings and orders. Online payments go through your own Stripe account, and Stripe's standard card-processing fees apply.
Who owns the guest data?
Guest records sit under the restaurant's own TableSpark account, visible in the Inbox and guest list, and you can export them as CSV whenever you want.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every plan includes a free tablespark.uk address, and Growth and Full add your own domain with managed SSL.
Will my site rank on Google?
Nobody can promise rankings or indexing. What TableSpark does is the technical set-up that lets Google find and read the site, included on every plan. You can check your current site free.
