Deposit Conditions

Require deposits based on:

• Lead Time — e.g., bookings made less than 24 hours ahead

Deposit Amount Options

• Fixed Amount — £10, £20, £50 total

How It Works

Guest books a slot matching your rules, they're redirected to Stripe checkout, after payment the booking is confirmed, and the deposit is held until the dining date.
