For every business in Weymouth

We take nothing.
You keep the lot.

No commission on a table booking. No commission on a ticket. No commission on a food order or a room. Not a penny. Booking.com takes 15 to 22 percent off a Weymouth guest house and Uber Eats takes 30 off a takeaway. We take nought, because a platform that taxes its own town is not supporting it.

Everything is free until at least 2028. Every feature, for every business, with nothing to pay and no card needed. The tiers further down are what paid membership will look like eventually, published years early so nobody ever gets a surprise invoice. The Free tier stays free permanently, and it is not a trial.

Nothing on this page costs anything until at least 2028. When it does, it is a flat yearly fee and never a cut of your takings.

What you get on day one, free

All of it. There is no locked feature waiting behind a paywall.

A booking console that makes a noise

A bell rings when a booking lands and keeps ringing until you answer it. Accept, decline, sit them down, mark a no show. Or switch on auto accept and never think about it again.

A print button that gives the kitchen paper

One tap prints a clean run sheet by service time, with covers, phone numbers and every note about allergies, high chairs and dogs. No app needed at the pass.

Live status from your phone

Fully booked from eight. Kitchen closing early. Walk ins welcome. One tap and it is on your page. Not one other Weymouth website can do this.

Your own page, properly

Photos, description, opening hours including bank holidays, menu, events, offers and reviews you can reply to. Yours to edit, no waiting on anyone.

Direct orders and tickets

Take food orders for collection and delivery, and sell tickets to your own events, keeping every penny. Uber Eats would take 30 percent of that.

Nobody chasing you for money

No card on file, no trial ending, no upsell email. If we ever charge, it is a flat yearly fee announced years ahead, and Free stays free.

Why we can afford to do it this way. Weymouth has roughly 2,900 businesses and a two month visitor season. A platform that charges commission in a town this size makes very little money and does real harm to traders who are already skint by February. Getting every business on board matters far more than earning anything early, so the plan is simple: build the thing, make it genuinely useful, charge nobody until it has clearly earned the right to.
