The Waterfront is a harbourside pub in Portreath, Cornwall. It's also the reason ClickBook exists.
Like a lot of independents, The Waterfront was paying one of the big booking sites around £150 a month. For that, they got a booking button that carried someone else's branding and put their guests on someone else's list. The pub was doing the work; the platform kept the relationship.
It felt back to front. So we built them their own.
A booking page that's properly theirs, at a price that won't go up as they get busier.
A booking page in the pub's own colours, logo and name. Guests book with The Waterfront, and never see ClickBook at all.
We mapped out their tables and service times and handed it over working. No setup work landed on the pub.
Every booking adds a real, opted-in guest to a list the pub owns and keeps, not one held hostage by a platform.
My mum and dad were paying £150 a month for a booking button, so I made them their own. Other independents wanted it too. That's the whole story.
