Management software for restaurants and pizzerias

- No commission on covers
- Free setup with an annual contract
- Installation and training included
The problem
Every service leaves margin on the table.
Lost bookings, no-shows, badly assigned tables, costs nobody tracks. Losses no system measures, so nobody recovers them.
- Bookings
Calls during service pull staff away from the floor.
Guests who get no answer book elsewhere. - No-shows
Tables that don’t show up leave no trace.
Lost covers no report records. - Floor
Free tables, but none the right size.
Requests turned down with seats available. - Margin
The till records takings, not profit.
The real result arrives months later.
- €675twenty-five covers lost to no-shows
- €480three points of food cost out of control
- 8 hoursof rotas and accounts done by hand
Estimate for a forty-cover restaurant per evening. FortyCovers makes these costs visible and shows how to reduce them.

From paper to digital
From a pen-drawn floor plan to a live dining room.
Paper floor plans work while the evening is simple. FortyCovers replaces them with a shared, always up-to-date view: table status, time seated and automatic table joining when needed.
Fill more tables
Guests book on your site. The extra cover stays yours.
Bookings made through a portal can carry a per-cover fee. With FortyCovers guests book directly on your website, Instagram or a shared link, for a flat monthly fee.
- English, Italian and French, with confirmation in the guest’s language
- Bookings go straight onto the floor plan
- Guest contacts stay yours
Serve without rushing
The floor plan that keeps pace with service.
FortyCovers learns how long your tables really last and predicts when they free up, so you can seat waiting guests before they leave.
- Two adjacent tables become one, then two again
- The evening in one column: arriving, seated, paying, no-show
- Tablet, phone or computer: everyone sees the same floor
Earn on every dish
Every price change, reflected in your margin at once.
FortyCovers reads supplier invoices and updates dish costs. If guanciale goes from €12.40 to €14.10 per kilo, carbonara rises from 21.5% to 23.7% food cost: you know what to negotiate and what to charge.
- E-invoices read to the cent
- Menu uploaded in one go, quantities recognised
- Unreadable values are flagged, never guessed
Know your month
Today’s priorities, every morning.
The control centre analyses accounts, floor, staff and stock and ranks issues by financial impact: labour cost, the month’s no-shows, rotas still to plan.
- The month’s result, updated daily
- Rotas with hours, cost and rest-day alerts
- The cover counter in your floor staff’s hands

About us
FortyCovers was born inside a working restaurant, not an agency.
It was developed and tested every day at La Cabassa, in Cesana Torinese. Every feature answers a concrete need of service: floor management, cost control, staff organisation. That is why it is designed for the people working the floor and the kitchen, as well as those managing the numbers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How does the demo work?
We contact you within one working day to set up a 20-minute meeting. We set FortyCovers up on your menu and review dish costs and lost covers together. The demo is free and without obligation.
Is it right for a small restaurant?
Yes. With tighter margins, a mispriced dish or a no-show table weighs more on the result. The Sala plan starts at €59 a month, with free setup on an annual contract.
Can I keep using TheFork?
Yes. TheFork brings new guests and charges a commission; FortyCovers handles direct bookings commission-free, along with the rest of the restaurant. The two can coexist.
What’s the difference between annual and monthly?
The monthly fee is the same. With a 12-month contract setup is free and you still get a three-month trial: if you stop within 90 days, you only pay the €490 setup. On the monthly plan setup costs €490 and you can cancel at any time.
How long does setup take?
Installation and setup are handled by us. The owner needs a meeting of about 45 minutes; floor staff are ready after a short training session.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes, with nothing to install: it opens in the browser on phone, tablet and computer.
