Biver.io
French software for group bookings and private hire for restaurants, bars, brasseries and reception halls: online form, planning and CRM.
A request form on your site, a shared calendar and a contact list cover most of private hire: that is the tool's scope, and it can be rebuilt without difficulty. What you lose: the form already integrated into your site, the calendar and CRM fed automatically by each request, and a free 14-day trial to compare before you commit.
What you lose
- The form already built in, ready to copy.
- The automatically fed CRM.
- The free trial to compare.

The prompt to build it yourself
Build me a group reservation and private-hire tool, for my venue, to replace a subscription. Stack: web app (Next.js or Node/Express) with SQLite, hosted on my small server, usable on phone and computer. No mandatory paid service, no telemetry. Core of the tool: - Private-hire request form embeddable in my site, with room availability. - Event calendar and a contact record created with each request. - Automatic follow-ups for quotes with no reply. Requirements: - Online request form (date, number of people, type of event, budget, contact) that creates a record in a tracking board: new, quote sent, accepted, deposit received, done. - Quote then invoice as PDF: continuous numbering with no gaps, mandatory mentions, VAT per line, deposit. To be validated by my accountant. - Function sheet as PDF to brief the teams (times, menu, floor plan, contacts). - Event calendar with room-conflict detection. Out of scope: online payment. README: installation, backup, and a reminder that the tool produces documents but does not replace the approved platform that electronic invoicing reform will eventually require, which remains out of scope.
