How does it work?
Without an account, anyone can search for a terrace in the neighborhood fromplaatsievrij.nl (the app) and see if there are places available NOW. If not, there is no point in going there. You can then immediately see when the next places become available and reserve them immediately. You can also book for later if you want. The app also offers the possibility to check in directly at a terrace on site for passers-by. Check in on site or make a reservation in advance.
How do you book?
You can make a reservation in no time by only entering your name and email address. You must also check the booking conditions and the health statement drawn up by the place providers themselves for approval. You will receive a confirmation email with a nice password that can optionally be used by the place provider for verification. Place providers can enter nice custom passwords themselves in the app.
How to offer places?
Terrace owners can offer their places by registering for free in the app. They are ready for use in a few minutes and ready to go. Every place providers will have their own reservation page onplaatsievrij.nl on which they can offer all their places in a very flexible and targeted manner. For example, places at the window, places under the parasol, heated places or places at tables, chairs, benches, stools and so on can be offered separately in place groups. The full range of these place groups is offered on the reservation page. This ensures highly targeted place reservations and therefore a correct flow of traffic on the terraces.
Smart catering entrepreneurs display their reservation page visibly on one or more tablets at the entrance to their terrace. The tablet can be placed in secure and burglar-resistant tablet holders. These tablet holders can be purchased at the well-known web shops for approximately € 50 yourself. Everyone who comes by can see the available space at the right distance without having to roam the terrace or have to wait for a catering employee. Catering employees are also given excellent help to maintain their terrace more safely and to only deal with the service. The app also generates a unique Qr code for each reservation page that place providers can use to send their customers directly to this page.

Reservations and check-in are always free for everyone. Space-free does not charge any costs for this. Seat providers only pay € 0.10 / valid seat reservation to keep the platform alive. No commissions or fixed and hidden costs. PAYASYOUGO!
