A small deposit and the empty tables disappear.
No-shows cost you a whole evening of revenue. Voxori automatically asks for a small iDEAL deposit on phone reservations — the caller pays in seconds in their own banking app, and only then is the reservation final. No manual work, no awkward conversation on the phone.
Available from Professional · activated during guided onboarding.
Why a deposit stops no-shows
A reservation without commitment is non-committal — and on the busy nights some people simply don't turn up. A small deposit changes the psychology: people who've paid, show up. You keep your tables full without scaring customers off, because iDEAL is familiar to everyone in the Netherlands and done in seconds.
Best of all: Voxori handles it in the same call where the reservation is made. You don't send payment requests or chase anyone afterwards.
From reservation to a paid table — automatically.
Asks for the deposit during the call
When a caller makes a reservation, Voxori politely explains a small deposit is required and sends an iDEAL payment request by SMS right away.
Pay with iDEAL — trusted and fast
The customer taps the link, pays in their own banking app and is done in seconds. No account, no credit card, no friction.
Confirmed only after payment
Voxori keeps her usual rule: the reservation is only final once the deposit has actually come in. No empty tables on a hunch.
You set the amount
A symbolic few euros per person or a serious deposit for large groups — you decide what fits your business and your busy nights.
Deducted or refunded
The deposit can be deducted from the bill on arrival. If someone doesn't show, you've largely covered the loss.
Fewer empty seats, more revenue
People who put money down show up. A handful of prevented no-shows a month already pays for the feature.
What does it cost?
The iDEAL deposit is included in the Professional plan (€299/month) and in Business. We set up the connection with the payment provider together with you during guided onboarding, so it's tested before your first real reservation. Try 7 days free and cancel monthly.
Questions about the deposit.
How does Voxori ask for a deposit on a phone reservation?
During the call Voxori mentions that a small deposit is part of the reservation and sends the caller an iDEAL payment request by SMS. As soon as the payment arrives, the reservation is final — not before. This prevents no-shows without you doing anything.
What deposit amount can I set?
You decide: from a symbolic amount per person to a higher deposit for large groups or busy nights. You set it per industry template and can change it anytime.
What happens to the deposit if the customer shows up?
You can deduct the deposit from the bill on arrival, so the customer pays nothing extra overall. If someone doesn't show, the deposit largely covers the lost seat.
Is the iDEAL deposit available on every plan?
The deposit is included from the Professional plan. We switch on the connection with the payment provider together with you during guided onboarding, so everything works before your first real reservation comes in.
Does this work if I don't use Google Calendar?
Yes. Voxori books into Google Calendar or the built-in Voxori Calendar. The deposit works the same either way.
Also useful: a bilingual phone service and an online booking widget.
