Third-party platforms

We use third-party service providers to operate our business and deliver our services. These providers are given access to your information only to the extent necessary to perform their function, and are required to maintain its confidentiality.

CRM and communication tools

We use customer relationship management and communication platforms to manage leads, send emails and SMS messages, host booking pages, and operate our lead pipeline.

Automation and workflow tools

We use workflow automation platforms to route data between our systems, trigger communications, and operate our revenue recovery and retention sequences on behalf of restaurant clients.

Analytics and tracking tools

We use analytics platforms to understand how visitors interact with our website and tools. This data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.

AI processing tools

Certain features on our website use AI language model APIs to generate personalised insights based on data you enter. Input data is transmitted to the API provider solely to process your request and is not retained beyond that single session. We do not use your data to train AI models.

Payment processing

We use third-party payment processors to handle financial transactions securely. We do not store payment card details on our own systems.

If you would like a current list of the specific third-party providers we use, or have questions about how a particular category of data is handled, please contact us at [email protected].
