Every seat carries its own courses and allergies
Every type of tabled event
Weekly networking meetings, thousand-cover gala dinners, private dining, awards dinners, curry clubs, sportsman's dinners and fundraising evenings — one system manages them all.
Formal events

- Purchaser-led guest invitations
- Guest checkout for food choices
- Allergies, dietaries, accessibility
- Automated and group seating
- Room layouts shared with the venue
Recurring events
Regular repeatable events
Weekly breakfasts, monthly lunches, quarterly socials. Build the series once and every date inherits the pricing, the tiers and the coupon rules.

- Members bring a guest free
- Coupon codes with limits and expiry
- Tiered pricing per audience
- A whole series published in one go

A word from our CTO
Smoother event management, from start to finish
From a single ticket to a 40-table dinner with courses and paid extras. Set it up once; the week of admin before each event goes with it.
Configure the ticket type and basket
It makes no difference whether it is a free invitation, a full-price ticket or a discounted one: the platform handles every possibility. Checkout and registration are branded in your own style, and all money is banked at point of sale.
Advanced pricing tools
Pricing tiers and options you will not find on another ticketing site, fully integrated into the event management process. Price the same event differently for members, guests of members and the public, with membership checked at checkout.
Transparent commissions
All fees are clearly displayed in the dashboard before you publish an event. Choose to add them on top of the ticket price or absorb them into your pricing, and see the margin either way.
Collect all the information
Menu choices, dietary information, table plans and paid extras, captured per guest rather than per booking and gathered into one briefing document.
Venue layout management
Sketch the room layout with our interactive planner: tables, toilets, dancefloor, bar and stage, all clearly laid out in the brief. It is the same plan the venue works from on the night.
Marketing module
Set up automated notifications for every event, with tracking links and QR codes generated for you to promote through social media and printed flyers.
Fully loaded QR check-in
Scan the QR code on the ticket in a browser on any phone and read the whole booking: upgrades, menu choices, allergies, table, seat number and special requests.
Comprehensive refund tools
Refund a single line item from an itemised booking without unpicking the entire process, refund several tickets at once, and move a seat or cancel a guest without re-issuing everyone's tickets.
Advanced coupon coding
Set discounts on anything sold, cross-sold or upsold at an event, not just tickets. Cap the redemptions per code or per buyer and set a time limit, all enforced at checkout.
Browse our game-changing tools
No need to sign up. Click any of the screen demos below to see how it all works.
Manage the table planning for any number of guests
Set it to auto-allocate, or drag and drop guests onto their tables by hand. Hover over any guest to check their menu choices and special requests.
- Keep full bookings together, or split them up on request
- Design the room and insert the dimensions
- Share your full live brief with the venue
A portal dedicated to gathering guest requirements
Every invited guest gets a link to confirm attendance, make their food choices and even buy their own extras: drinks, merchandise and upgrades. The booker never relays an order and you never chase one.
- Guests confirm attendance in one click
- Dietary requirements and other requests
- Guests can upgrade or purchase extras
- Automatic reminders go out to anyone who has not responded
The venue logs in to live data but cannot access personal details
A real-time brief showing the key data: the number of covers, the specific food choices keyed to each seat number, and the room layout you specified. It updates as bookings change, and no guest's name or contact details travel with it.
- Course counts per table for the kitchen
- Table and seat selections shared
- Seating positions, table leads & VIPs
- Allergies and access needs by seat
- Attendee data anonymised before it leaves
Simplifying the table booking process
We have simplified the booking process for everyone involved. A single-ticket networking event skips step two and goes straight to check-in.
Step 1
Make purchase, collect food options, allergies and extras
The booker selects the ticket options, sets food and drink preferences, and can upgrade or pay for extras. All of it ends up in a structured, easy-to-follow plan for the venue, rather than free-text notes for someone to read out later.
Step 2
The table booker invites the guests, Net Hub does the rest
The booker enters a name and an email address, and stops there. Each guest is allocated their own ticket automatically and gives their own preferences: courses, dietaries, accessibility needs and any extras they want to buy. Nobody has to chase anybody by email.
Step 3
QR code check-in, no need for a separate app
The ticket displays every one of the guest's choices, and includes their seat number. Your team on the door has a very simple job: check people in on a device they already own.

Questions organisers ask first
Before you move an event across
Can one event have different prices for members and non-members?
Yes. Ticket tiers are tied to membership status, subscription tier or guest-of-member status. Dining Hub checks the buyer against your member list at checkout, so a non-member cannot buy the member rate by getting hold of the link.
How do free guest tickets work?
Set a tier at £0 and cap how many a member can claim, per event or across the series. The guest still gets a real ticket, so they still appear on the door list and can still be seated and fed.
Who collects the ticket money?
You do, at the point of sale. We never hold customer funds and there are no back end rebates. Fees are shown in the dashboard before you publish, and you choose whether to add them on top or absorb them in the ticket price.
Do guests of a table booker have to create an account?
No. The booker invites them by name and email, and each guest gets their own ticket with a guest checkout for courses, dietaries and accessibility needs.
How does the automated seating work?
You set the table sizes and the rules: keep this booking together, split this group of fourteen across two tables, seat sponsors near the top table. Dining Hub fills the room against those rules, and you drag anyone who still needs moving.
What does the venue actually get?
A room layout and a live table plan: covers per table, course counts, allergies and accessibility needs. It updates as bookings change, so the kitchen is not working from a spreadsheet you emailed a fortnight ago.
Can I collect extra information at sign-up, like a wine preference or a plus-one?
Yes. Add custom questions to any ticket type: drink selections, table preferences, plus-one names, accessibility needs, emergency contact, anything you would otherwise ask by email. Answers appear on the ticket and in your exports.
Do I need a separate app to check people in?
No. Check-in runs in the browser on a phone or tablet and scans the QR code on the ticket.
