The whole venue, on one screen

Hendra One is a hospitality venue management system for restaurants, pubs, hotels and bars, from a single site to a group. Bookings, guest emails, food safety records, rotas and maintenance share one system and one login for the whole team. It costs £100 a site a month with everything in it, and nothing per cover.

Hendra One at the Bramblewood Arms, our demo pub, on a Saturday night, sped up. The diary, the fridge checks, the waitlist and the rota report into one screen, and each line in the feed is something it records as the night goes on.

For restaurants, pubs, hotels and bars

The same system runs one site or a group of them, whatever kind of venue it is. What changes is which parts you lean on hardest.

Restaurants

A diary that paces arrivals so the kitchen keeps up, deposits and a card on file against no-shows, group pre-orders with allergens, and a guest list that remembers every visit.

Pubs

Bookings and walk-ins on one grid, Sunday paced to what the kitchen can send, food safety and the fire log on a phone, and a rota costed against the covers.

Hotels

The restaurant and bar diary, kitchen compliance, the team and the building’s maintenance. Rooms stay in your property management system, and Hendra One works alongside Oracle OPERA.

Bars and groups

Special events with their own rules and price, a guest list to tell about them, and a head office view of every site once there is more than one.

What it replaces

Bought separately, these cost one site with 25 staff £311 to £883 a month at the prices the vendors publish, before VAT. That is five bills and five logins to keep in step.

What you get for £100

Seven parts, and they share what they know. The rota works from the covers forecast, a missed fridge check goes to whoever the org chart says owns it, and a review request checks the guest has not opted out before it sends.

What the film shows
  1. Saturday night at the Bramblewood Arms: 183 covers booked, and every table on one screen.
  2. The phone goes: fourteen for lunch on Saturday 28 November.
  3. Dinner is full, and 12.45 or 1 o’clock would swamp the kitchen. I offer them 1.15.
  4. The Vance party are in early for a birthday. Arrived, seated, and moved to now.
  5. Tonight’s rota is published, with the covers booked against each day.
  6. The week’s wages come to 23.8% of forecast sales, inside our 30% target.
  7. Fridges and freezers logged all day. Closing checks wait for the last one out to sign.
  8. Head office sees all four sites at once: tonight’s covers, compliance, sales and wages.

Built by Nick Laws, a hotelier who now runs a pub in Cornwall

Nick Laws, founder of Hendra One, behind the bar of the pub he runs in Cornwall

Before the pub, Nick spent his career in big hotel groups, Fairmont and Four Seasons among them, where software quietly took care of the admin. Running a pub, he found the same jobs being done on paper, or across a handful of subscriptions that cost more than an independent venue can justify.

So he built one system that does all of it, at one price per site, whatever the size or kind of venue.

How many sites do you run?
1
× £100 a site
Hendra One, a month
£100
Separate tools doing the same job: £200 to £400

Groups pay the same £100 for every site, so the saving against separate subscriptions grows with each site. The only other charge is 2.5% on optional extras guests buy online, like a birthday package, and never on bookings, covers or deposits.

Nothing to pay until you’ve moved over: billing starts the day your first site goes live, with no setup fee. After that it runs month to month on 30 days’ notice, and we move your bookings and guest list across for free.

Questions operators ask us

Can I move from my current booking system?

Yes, and we do the move for you, free. Send us your current system’s standard export and we bring across your future bookings and your guest list, with each guest’s marketing choice intact. You choose the day you switch, and anything unusual, such as two systems or a paper diary, we quote for first.

Is it really SFBB-aligned?

The kitchen module mirrors Safer Food Better Business: the same opening and closing checks, the same corrective-action logic, a daily diary signed with a drawn signature, and the 4-weekly review built on the FSA’s own 12 questions.

What happens during an EHO visit?

You switch on inspection mode and hand the officer a time-limited link to a printable 28-day report: temps, checks, corrective actions and signatures. No binder, no hunting for last Tuesday’s fridge sheet.

Do my guests pay booking fees?

No. There are no per-cover fees, ever, for you or your guests. The only charge beyond your plan is a small commission on optional paid upsells like birthday packages.

How much does Hendra One cost?

Hendra One is £100 per site per month, with every module included and no VAT on top. There are no tiers, no premium add-ons and no fixed-term contract. Bought separately, the same ground costs one site with 25 staff £311 to £883 a month at the prices the vendors published in October 2026, before VAT.

Who owns my guest data?

You do. You are the data controller and Hendra One is your data processor, acting strictly on your instructions under a Data Processing Agreement. Your guest list can be exported at any time, and it is never something we can independently use or take away.

Try it on four busy sites

Leave your details and we’ll email you your own login to Bramblewood Inns, a demo group of four sites with a full diary, rotas, guest list and compliance records. Use every screen as your team would for 14 days, and Nick will ring to see how you are getting on.
