Konoba Toma is a family tavern on Šubićeva in old Trogir, cooking since 2002. Reservations already ran over WhatsApp — the trouble was that the message arrived as a question, not as a booking. We built the site so the guest sends a finished one.
Reservations at Toma already ran over messages. The channel was fine, the message wasn't: in would come “any tables tonight?”, then four messages back and forth before it settled on how many people, at what time and where they'd sit. So we didn't touch the channel, we fixed the message. Booking is four taps on the homepage — when, which slot, how many of you, where you sit — and the button opens WhatsApp with the text already written. The tavern reads it and confirms. No account, no confirmation emails, no extra system anyone has to open. The menu, gallery and opening hours keep the same warm Dalmatian tone the room on Šubićeva has itself.
The tavern didn't have a reservations problem, it had a questions problem. The guest sends a message, the waiter replies, the guest replies — and only by the fifth message does anyone know it's two people at 8 p.m. on the terrace. All of it in the middle of the rush. The site also had to work for locals and tourists alike, and show the kitchen as it really is.
The reservation card sits on the homepage and asks for four things: when (today, tomorrow or from the calendar), which slot, how many people (1–8+) and where — inside, outside, terrace or no preference. The slots aren't an empty field but a list of what the kitchen actually serves: five for lunch, nine for dinner. The button stays grey until the choice is complete. Around it runs a bilingual HR/EN site, a menu in 11 categories across ten languages, a gallery and an FAQ.
A finished reservation now arrives at the tavern, not a question: date, time, party size, seating and name, all in one message. No back-and-forth and no misread slot — nobody asks for a table at 4 p.m. because the card doesn't offer one. The guest is done in half a minute, staff reply “see you soon”. It all still lives in WhatsApp on the phone behind the bar, where it was before. That's why the site can promise a reply within 30 minutes during opening hours, and keep the promise.
The “Book a table” card sits on the homepage and introduces itself: “30 seconds. We confirm over WhatsApp.” Everything is chosen by tapping — the only thing typed is the name, and only if the guest wants to.
No framework, no database, no backend. A reservation is, in the end, a well-built WhatsApp link — that needs no server, and the tavern has nothing to pay each month.
