Getting Started
Bookable API
Integrate into your partners' booking systems, via a unified API across all major Table Management Systems:
- Onboarding new venues: use the TMS Gateway API to tell Bookable which booking system an Operator uses, add the Operators TMS API keys, and start making bookings via the Bookings API.
- Day‑to‑day: use the Bookings API to search venues and create/amend bookings with your existing client ID/secret.
Key capabilities
Operator Onboarding
Onboard hospitality operators and connect their TMS credentials to unlock their venues for booking.
🔍Search and filter your venues
Search and filter venues by city, date, party size, product names (e.g. breakfast or bottomless brunch) and features (e.g. wheelchair accessibility).
📅Live Availability
Check real-time slot availability and retrieve the correct booking type for each venue product.
⚡Bookings & Enquiries

Quick start
