About
Built for one door in Canning, Nova Scotia.
Dickie Baxter Taproom & Bistro is a taproom and bistro in Canning, in the Annapolis Valley. Maitrebook started as its own reservation system.
The room has fourteen tables, a bar and a patio. Lunch Wednesday to Friday, brunch at the weekend, dinner Wednesday to Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday. Like most rooms that size, it was stuck between a free booking list that couldn't show a floor plan and paid systems priced for restaurant groups.
So the people who run it built their own: a booking widget on the restaurant's website, a host stand on an iPad at the door, texts that guests can answer, card holds that are never charged without two people deciding to. It runs Dickie Baxter's book today.
Maitrebook is that system, opened up to other independent restaurants. It is run from Canning, answered by the founder, and priced so a small room never has to think about it.
The promise, in writing
Maitrebook will never charge a fee per cover or per booking. The price is the plan, and the plan is on the pricing page. Your guests stay yours, on your own website, and you can take every record with you whenever you like.
