Why Bouzon Bookings in Bilbao

Cloud bookings for Basque gastronomy, no local office required

Bilbao combines high-turnover pintxos bars in the Casco Viejo, cider houses with txotx menus around Deusto, and table-service restaurants with formal reservations in the Ensanche and Abandoibarra. Bouzon Digital has no office in Bilbao — we are a hospitality software studio working remotely for restaurants across Spain. Being cloud-based means delivery and support are just as fast as a local provider's, without the overhead of a physical office.

0% commission per booking

Unlike TheFork (~€2/cover) or platforms that charge per seated table, Bouzon Bookings charges no commission per booking or cover. You pay a fixed monthly module fee — savings scale with your volume instead of penalising it.

Anti-no-show deposits with Stripe

Configurable by service, day or party size — key for cider-house txotx menus and large celebration groups in the Ensanche, where a no-show hurts most. Payment goes straight to your Stripe Connect account, with daily payouts.

100% cloud, fast delivery

We don't need to be based in Bilbao to have your booking system configured in days, not weeks. All onboarding — services, tables, deposits — happens over a video call and goes live without an on-site visit.

Native widget, not a marketplace

The booking widget ships integrated into the website we design for your Bilbao restaurant — with your brand, colours and service times. Your customers book on your domain, not on a third party's profile competing with you for visibility.

Integrated with POS and ordering

When a reservation is seated it appears on the POS floor plan and the waiter opens its ticket with one tap, already linked to the booking — no retyping the name, headcount or notes. Everything in one account: website + bookings + online ordering + POS. No jumping between systems for an Indautxu gastrobar waiter.

Bilingual WhatsApp support

The admin panel is an installable PWA on mobile or desktop. Push notification the instant a booking comes in, plus direct WhatsApp support in Spanish and English — no call centre, no middlemen.

Frequently asked questions

Bookings for restaurants in Bilbao — FAQ

How much does an online booking system cost for a restaurant in Bilbao?
Bouzon Bookings is a website plan module: +€9.99/month on top of the base plan (from €49.99/month, no contract). It is not a standalone product — it requires the Bouzon Digital website. We charge 0% commission per booking or per cover: only standard Stripe fees apply if you enable deposits. Against TheFork (~€2/cover), a Bilbao restaurant with 300 booked covers a month saves real money from month one.
Does Bouzon Bookings charge a commission per reservation in Bilbao?
0% commission per booking or per cover. You only pay the fixed monthly module fee (+€9.99/month). If you enable card deposits, standard Stripe fees apply (~1.5% + €0.25 per European transaction) — never a Bouzon Digital commission on the booking price.
Does it work for reserving bar space at a pintxos bar, or only table bookings at a restaurant?
Both. A high-turnover pintxos bar in the Casco Viejo usually doesn't need a formal reservation — for that case, Bouzon Bookings is mainly used for large groups or private events. A table-service restaurant in the Ensanche or Abandoibarra, or a cider house with a txotx menu in Deusto, uses full-service bookings with a deposit. The system supports both patterns from the same setup, with no separate modules.
How does it prevent no-shows on a cider-house txotx menu or large groups in Bilbao?
With optional anti-no-show deposits via Stripe Connect: configurable by service, day or party size. Especially useful for cider houses with a txotx menu (where the table is blocked for hours and a no-show hurts more) and for weekend celebration groups in Indautxu or Abandoibarra. Deposit money goes straight to your Stripe account — Bouzon Digital never touches it.
Does the booking widget work on any website or only on one built by Bouzon Digital?
It is a native module of the Bouzon Digital website plan — delivered integrated into the website we design for your Bilbao restaurant, with your brand, colours and service times configured from day one. It is not sold as a standalone widget to embed on a third-party website.
How does it compare to TheFork or CoverManager for a restaurant in Bilbao?
TheFork charges around €2 per cover and lists your restaurant on its marketplace, competing with the one next door. CoverManager charges a monthly subscription. Bouzon Bookings charges no commission per cover, and bookings come through your own Bilbao website — the customer is yours, not the marketplace's. Guest data stays in your isolated tenant, exportable whenever you want.
Is Bouzon Digital based in Bilbao? How do you provide support if you are not local?
No — Bouzon Digital is a hospitality software studio working 100% remotely for restaurants across Spain. We don't have a physical office in Bilbao. Being cloud-based means that is not a disadvantage: setup, support and updates happen just as fast remotely as they would in person. Direct WhatsApp and email support, in Spanish and English, with no call centre or intermediaries.
