Apron: Affordable Restaurant Management Software Without Booking Fees

Running a restaurant is complicated enough. Your software should make the day easier — not add more work or become more expensive as your bookings grow.

That’s why we built Apron: simple, affordable restaurant management software for independent restaurants. It helps teams manage reservations and day-to-day operations without unnecessary complexity or unpredictable costs.

Simple software, clear pricing

Many restaurant platforms have grown into large systems filled with features, settings and complicated pricing. That works for some businesses, but independent restaurants often need something more focused.

Apron gives restaurants the tools they need, keeps them easy to use and makes pricing clear. Teams can manage reservations, tables and seating areas without spending hours learning software they don’t need.

No booking fees

Some restaurant reservation systems charge more as bookings, covers or diners increase. We don’t think your software bill should grow simply because your restaurant is doing well.

With Apron, you pay for the software — not for your own customers. There are no hidden reservation fees and no extra charge every time someone books a table.

Powerful, without the complexity

Simple doesn’t mean limited. Apron is being built to give restaurant teams the tools they need to run service with confidence, while keeping the experience straightforward for customers.

We’re focusing on making common tasks quick and intuitive rather than adding features for the sake of a longer list. The result is a restaurant management system that’s easy to understand and powerful enough for everyday operations.

We’ll help you get started

Switching restaurant systems can feel daunting. How should your tables be configured? How should your seating areas work? Which settings should you choose?

When you get started with Apron, we’ll help with the initial setup. We’ll configure the system around your restaurant so your tables, seating areas and reservation settings make sense from day one.

You shouldn’t need to become an Apron expert before you can use Apron.

Built for independent restaurants

Apron is being built with restaurant owners and teams who want a straightforward alternative to complicated and expensive platforms.

We’re starting with a focused restaurant management and reservation system, then developing it alongside the restaurants that use it. That means listening to real teams, understanding the problems they face and prioritising improvements that make running a restaurant easier.

Launching 15 November 2026

Apron officially launches on 15 November 2026.

Our goal isn’t to build the biggest restaurant software platform. It’s to build one of the simplest, most useful and most affordable restaurant management systems available.
