About
We are rebuilding the maître d's card index.
Cover started behind a host stand, with a battered box of index cards that knew more about the room than any till report ever did.
For years the best rooms ran on memory. A maître d’ who knew that table twelve takes the corner booth, drinks Barolo, and comes in the week after a birthday. Wonderful, until that person took a night off.
Every restaurant already collects the raw material: bookings, checks, reviews. It just sits in three systems that never speak. Cover joins them into one card per guest, written in language a host can read in the four seconds before a party reaches the stand.
We are a small team of operators and engineers. Most of us have worked a Saturday double. That is the test we hold every feature to.

How we work
The floor comes first
If a note takes longer to log than it does to remember, nobody logs it. Every screen in Cover is built for a busy service.
One card per guest
Not five systems with five half-truths. One record that every room in the group reads and writes.
Numbers you can act on tonight
We would rather show one forecast a manager will use than a dashboard nobody opens twice.
