Management software for cider houses

You didn't start your cider house to spend your evenings on admin. Management software for cider houses automates the repetitive parts, starting with online booking & calendar, so the panel handles the busywork and you get your time back.

In brief: software for cider houses

  • Set up in your sector's real language and needs — not a generic program that's the same for everyone.
  • Start with one module and add the rest as your cider house grows — no migration, no starting over.
  • Built for a cider house, not adapted from a generic tool — so it fits how you actually work.
  • You start with one module and switch on the rest when the need turns up, not the other way round.

Every cider house loses time and customers in the gaps — the booking not confirmed, the message unanswered, the detail forgotten. Management software closes those gaps, beginning with what hurts most, online booking & calendar, so your clients book from their phone at any hour, with reminders that stop no-shows.

Unlike a rigid, one-size-fits-all program, it adapts to your cider house: you turn on only the modules you use — email marketing, AI assistant — all sharing the same data, so nothing lives in five different places. Begin with one and add the rest as you grow.

It also plugs into your website, so the bookings, orders and messages you get online arrive already in your system, nothing re-typed. We configure it for your sector, hand it over working and support you, so the tech stays out of your way.

A booking nobody turns up for costs twice: the seat or the room lost and the customer turned away. A confirmation the day before and a waiting list reverse exactly that.

Buying follows what went out the same week last year. Having that number is the difference between calculating and guessing.

The rota gets written before anyone knows how full the night is. Bookings and orders next to hours rostered is the number that decides whether a shift makes money.

At closing, the useful numbers are how many were served, average spend and what sold. Ready at the end of service rather than at the end of the month, they change what you buy on Tuesday instead of explaining what went wrong in March.

The modules cider houses need

Start with the one that hurts most and switch on the rest when you're ready — they all share the same data.

Starts here

Online booking & calendar

Your clients book from their phone at any hour, with reminders that stop no-shows.

Email marketing

Campaigns and automations to bring clients back, with ready-made templates and tracking.

AI assistant

It answers your clients' repeat questions by chat and WhatsApp, at any hour.

How we do it for cider houses, step by step

  1. 1

    We look at your day-to-day

    We count the enquiries arriving each week by phone, WhatsApp and website — and how many go cold.

  2. 2

    We choose the modules

    We pick by what your week looks like, not by what sounds impressive on a feature list.

  3. 3

    We set it up for your sector

    We teach the assistant the questions you actually get: prices, hours, availability.

  4. 4

    We connect it to your website

    We check the whole path once from the outside, as a customer, before anything goes live.

  5. 5

    We hand it over working

    We look again after four weeks at what is genuinely being used and what still needs connecting.

It starts where your customer finds you

A customer searching for a cider house wants to sort it now, not fill in forms or wait for opening hours. We connect the management software with your website and Google profile so they book, order or message on the spot — and every one lands in your system, ready.

Frequently asked questions about software for cider houses

What happens if something goes down? +

Data is mirrored and access runs through the browser: if a device fails you carry on from the next one. A broken computer stops being a lost day.

Do I need technical knowledge? +

No. You run it from your phone or computer with a simple panel. We set it up for your sector, hand it over working and stay alongside you.

What if my team does not want new software? +

It is the commonest obstacle and the only one that matters. So we start with a single feature that takes work off somebody on day one; the rest arrives once that is running.

What does my customer actually see? +

Your website and a booking that takes three steps. Of the software behind it they see nothing — which is exactly the point.

What do we do with the deposits? +

Take them on the dates that hurt — Fridays, Saturdays, groups — not on every table. It is the group booking that leaves a hole.

Can we see what sells at each service? +

By dish and by hour, which is what tells you what to buy and what to take off the menu.

What about bookings that come in by phone? +

They are entered in ten seconds and hold the same table as the online ones. Without that you double-book a Saturday.

What happens if the internet drops? +

Bookings already taken stay visible and anything entered syncs when the line returns. What we do not pretend is that a service can run entirely offline — that is what the diary by the phone is still for.

Can I start with just one module and add more later? +

Yes — that's the idea. You begin with what hurts most and switch on email marketing, AI assistant whenever you're ready. No migration, no starting over: it's the same platform.

Is training included? +

Yes, and it is short on purpose. If a feature needs an afternoon of training, it is the wrong feature for cider houses.

Does it work offline? +

The panel needs a connection, but the data is never only on one device. If the line drops you carry on from a phone.
