Publican’s reservation app a huge hospitality help

A Lurgan publican has developed an innovative booking system app to help the Hospitality Sector come out of lockdown.

JonJo Power, above right, spent 2020 building a team of hospitality and tech industry professionals to create and deliver a system he hopes will help hospitality across Northern Ireland emerge from lockdown.

The new R2S (Reserve2serve) app eliminates no shows, guarantees revenue, has an in-built track and trace device and helps manage capacity and staff.

Jonjo, fifth generation publican of The Oak in Portadown,  explained: “As the hospitality industry returns to trading, we are operating in a new environment of regulatory framework and altered consumer behaviours.

“R2S was conceived, developed and brought to market in order to boost consumer confidence and help encourage footfall across all hospitality businesses with compliance, confidence and traceability at the forefront.

“We will be enabling the venue operator to focus on delivering a high-quality hospitality experience to their customers, minimise their overheads while providing the customer with a safe, secure and transparent method of making social or business plans to spend and enjoy time in their venue of choice.”

Ross Porter, Founder of R2S, Podium Apps, top left, explained: “Locally developed and uniquely Northern Irish, R2S operates as a multi-platform booking system, a covid compliance rating feature, full track and trace functionality and a ‘kitty’ generator for the customer which creates a guaranteed minimum spend for the operator, turning expensive no shows into profit.”

Gary Flynn, Founder of R2S, Hospitality Consultant. added: “R2S will inspire customer confidence for people who want to go out and enjoy themselves according to the regulations that are in place at the time.

“The system allows the customer to easily browse the licensed venues in their local area and more importantly provide them with an efficient, safe and reliable app to make plans and reservations.”
