Build Your Bar's Website, Table Bookings and Rota with AI

With Mythex, a bar owner can build the website, the table reservation page, the private hire enquiry form and the staff rota by describing them in chat. Each one comes with a real database, a live preview and a public link, so table requests stop arriving as Instagram DMs at 11 p.m.

Where a bar's software has to work hardest

A bar earns most of its week between Thursday and Saturday night, plus match days and December. That is when the software is tested. Guests ask for tables in DMs and phone calls, office managers ask about private hire for 40, and the quiz and DJ nights need promoting every week. Behind the counter, the till handles sales, but rotas, supplier orders and spirit counts often live in a group chat and a notebook. What helps is a reservation system that keeps some tables for walk-ins, an events calendar people actually check, and staffing and stock planned around the busy nights rather than an average week.

Private hire enquiries with headcount, minimum spend and date
A weekly events calendar that is never out of date
Late-close rotas built around event nights
Spirit and keg counts against par levels

What you can build for bars

A bar website that answers 'what's on tonight?'

People pick a bar the same evening, usually by checking what is on. Your site leads with tonight's event, then the cocktail menu, opening hours with late closes, your age policy and private hire areas with capacities. Staff can update the calendar from a phone, so a cancelled quiz never stays on the site.

Build a website for our cocktail bar. Show tonight's event at the top, a weekly calendar of quiz, live music and DJ nights that staff can edit from a phone, the seasonal cocktail menu, opening hours with Friday and Saturday late closes, and private hire areas with capacities.

Table reservations that leave room for walk-ins

Guests choose a booth, high table or the terrace and a two-hour slot on Fridays and Saturdays. You decide how many tables stay unreservable for walk-ins, and large groups can be asked for a card hold through a payment provider you connect.

Make a table booking page for our bar with booths, high tables and the terrace. Two-hour slots on Friday and Saturday, keep 40% of tables for walk-ins, groups over eight must leave a deposit, and give staff a list of tonight's bookings.

A rota that changes with the events calendar

Bartenders, barbacks, door and floor staff are scheduled as separate roles, with shifts that end at 2 a.m. A DJ night and a quiz night get different crews. Staff mark their availability and swap shifts with a manager's approval.

Build a staff rota app for our bar with bartender, barback, door and floor roles. Shifts can run past midnight, event nights from our calendar need extra staff, and staff can request time off and swap shifts with manager approval.

Weekly spirit counts before the weekend order

Count the top spirits by bottle and part bottle, kegs and bottled beer separately, and syrups and garnishes that go off fast. Par levels flag what to reorder on Wednesday so Friday is covered.

Make a stock app for our bar. Track spirits by full and part bottle, kegs and bottled beer separately, and syrups with use-by dates. Set a par level per product and show a reorder list every Wednesday.

Private hire invoices with the minimum spend in writing

A deposit invoice when the date is booked, then a final bill with room hire, food and the bar tab as separate lines. If the group spends less than the agreed minimum, the shortfall line shows exactly how it was worked out.

Build private hire invoicing for our bar: a deposit invoice on booking, a final invoice with room hire, food and bar tab lines, and an automatic shortfall line if the spend is below the agreed minimum. Corporate clients can pay on 30-day terms.

Quiz team registration and ticketed nights

Quiz teams register with a name and team size, so you set up the right tables and release no-shows to walk-ins at 7.45. Live music nights can be ticketed with a capacity, and the door can check names and ages on a phone.

Create an events app for our bar with weekly quiz registration (team name and size, max 20 teams), ticketed live music nights with a capacity, and a door check-in screen.

Getting table requests out of the DMs

Start with the booking page and put its link in your social bios and auto-replies. When a guest messages for a table, staff send the link instead of writing the booking down. Within a few weeks, the Friday list lives in one place, the floor team can see it on a tablet, and you can see how many tables actually turned up.

Link the booking page from every profile
Hold back walk-in tables on Friday and Saturday
Release no-shows after 15 minutes

Sell holiday parties in September

Office party organisers book early. A landing page with packages by area, minimum spends and headcounts, live by early autumn, books more December dates than asking people to email for details. Put gift cards on the home page in November too; they sell almost entirely before Christmas.

Questions

Can guests reserve a table online?

Yes. Guests pick an area, party size, date and time, and staff see the booking in an admin list. You set time limits and how many tables stay free for walk-ins.

Can I take deposits for big groups?

Yes, by connecting a payment provider account such as Stripe. You decide the group size that triggers a deposit and the amount.

Does it replace my POS?

No. Keep your till for sales. Mythex builds the pieces around it: reservations, hire enquiries, rotas, stock counts and dashboards from figures you enter or import.

Do I need to code?

No. Describe what you want in chat and Mythex builds it with a live preview. You change anything by asking, like 'add a terrace area with 6 tables'.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan needs no card and includes daily credits and publishing. Pro is $25/month for a custom domain, code editing, export and more credits.
