Onka is a restaurant portal built in Cebu. One place to run the whole floor, whether you seat ten or two hundred: a reservations board, a live service timeline, your real floor plan, a guest book, menus, reports — and a page where Cebu diners can find you.
Below is the portal as it stands today — the same screens your hosts will open on the tablet at the stand. Big tap targets, and everything a manager needs is one tap down the sidebar.
Every booking for the day in four columns — waitlist, upcoming, in service, completed. Check guests in, mark a no-show, take a walk-in, and work the waitlist: notify the next party and they get a window to claim the table before it moves on.
Tables down the side, the evening across the top. Drag a party onto a table, stretch the block when they linger, split a big group over two tops or combine two into one. Onka flags overlaps and suggests a table that fits.
Draw your real tables, areas, and bar in the editor, then flip to the live view: open, held, seated, and how long each party has been sitting. Save more than one plan for the nights your room changes shape.
A calendar of covers, so you can see the shape of the month before you commit to it — how many bookings and people each day, which days carry no-shows, and what still needs confirming. Tap a day to open it.
Visit history, allergies, seating notes, occasions — kept per guest and surfaced on the booking before they walk in. Regulars are marked automatically once they've been in enough times.
A thread attached to each reservation, so 'we're running late' and 'is the courtyard covered?' land in one place instead of across three phones. Your hosts answer from the same screen they run the floor on.
Thirty days of bookings and covers, this week against last, your busiest time slots, no-show rate, and where confirmed bookings actually came from — your Onka page, your own site, or the host stand.
Onka gives you a booking widget to paste into your website or link from your socials, styled to your colours. Same availability, same book, and every reservation is tagged with the channel it came from.
We sit down with you in person around Metro Cebu, map your tables and hours, and bring in your existing bookings from whatever you use today.
One onboarding session and you can be taking bookings the same week, on the phones and tablets you already have.
From your phone, a tablet, or the laptop in the back office, your floor plan is one tap away.
Every foundation your house needs, from reservations to floor plans. Full access while we build Onka.
These four screens are already in your sidebar, marked coming soon. Founding partners help decide what lands in them first.
Five minutes. No card, no commitment. Onboarding gets back within a working day, usually within a few hours.
Nothing right now. Founding partners get full access free while we build together. The plan for later: you only ever pay for a confirmed Onka reservation that actually shows up. No commissions, no per-cover charges, and your own walk-ins are never billed. Diners never pay to book.
One onboarding session. We sit down with you in person around Metro Cebu, map your tables and hours, and bring in your existing bookings from whatever you use today, whether that’s a paper book, an Excel sheet, or another app. You can be taking bookings the same week.
No. Onka runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or laptop you already have at the host stand. Nothing to install, nothing to buy.
Of course. Walk-ins and phone reservations go into the same book and floor plan as online bookings, so your hosts see one picture of the night. And walk-ins are always free. We never charge for guests you brought in yourself.
Yes. Guests manage their reservation from their Onka account, so they can move the date, time, or party size, or cancel, without tying up your phone. Every change flows straight through to your reservations and floor plan.
Yes. Invite them by email from Accounts and give each one a role — owner, manager, or staff. They sign in as themselves and land in the same portal, so nobody is sharing a password at the host stand.
Yes. The Booking Widget screen gives you a booking form to embed on your site or link from your socials. It reads the same availability and writes into the same book, and every reservation is tagged with the channel it came from, so Reports can show you which one actually fills tables.
Guests can rate the visit and leave a note, and it shows up under Reviews with your average and the star breakdown. The visit is also written into that guest’s history in the Guestbook, so the next time they book you already know them.
No. Onka is free while we build together, and you can leave anytime. Your bookings and guest book are yours. If you ever go, we'll hand over all of your data.
Tell us about your house. Onboarding gets back within a working day, usually within a few hours.
