Intelligent restaurant booking

We know booking from the inside, and have used that experience to build the system we were missing.

Developed in Oslo, close to the day-to-day running of restaurants with full houses.

More ways to fill the tables

We want to fill your restaurant, your way

  • We see booking setup as a craft

    Ninetop is built on years of experience from management and booking in busy Oslo restaurants. Rolled out at Rodeo, autumn 2026

  • New booking technology that is simple to use and easy to understand

    With us you get more control, whether you want to run strict seatings or fill more tables

  • We set it up the way you want to run things

    We know booking and analytics, while you know your restaurant best

More bookings on the same floor plan

  • Ninetop makes sure the floor plan is always optimised

    The puzzle solves itself in the background

  • We find room for more

    More guests, higher revenue. From both online bookings and walk-ins

  • No surprises during service

    Reservations can be locked to a table, and before service the plan is frozen into a flow tailored to the service

Walk-ins

Full overview of free capacity

  • Let the system make room for more guests

    Ninetop can simulate every possible floor plan, and make room for the guests at the door

  • Simple overview, more control

    No free table goes unnoticed, by you or your team

  • No mental maths

    You see what is free, and for how long

The waitlist that actually fills tables

  • Cancellation? No need to call around

    Ninetop sends out the SMS, so the table does not stay empty

  • The most attractive reservation, where it fits best

    The puzzle, priority rules and guest data work together

  • The table goes to guests who show up

    The guest confirms the reservation themselves, so you know the table will be used

Automated waitlist

Guest-chosen seating time

The booking portal: the guest has picked 18:00 and chooses how much time they have tonight, from 3 hours down to 1 hour 30 min. 1 hour 30 min, until 19:30, is selected

The right seating time for the guest, more guests for you

  • Guests often have plans

    Some have a show to catch, others have a half-hour lunch break

  • Let the guest tell you

    Every time someone picks a shorter stay, it opens up room for more guests

  • You know your limits

    The options offered depend on party size, menu choice, time and more

A little less time, instead of no time

  • A very popular time slot?

    When the standard seating time is fully booked, Ninetop can offer the same time with a slightly shorter stay

  • An hour and a half is better than none

    The guest sees a table, not a no

  • You decide when it can be offered and to whom

    Only the gaps get filled

An offer of a shorter stay

Email + AI

Under development

No copying between inbox and booking system

The biggest bookings come in writing. Ninetop reads the inbox, picks out the date, party size and requests, and puts a finished booking in front of you.

Coming in 2026, along with much more.
