VESPER: a booking system for a Dinner · Show · Club in Dubai, built in Lovable 🌙

For the #lovablechallenge I picked a business I know from a decade in Dubai hospitality: a venue where dinner is at 8, the show at 9, and the room turns into a club at 11:30.

The problem Group bookings live in WhatsApp. One birthday table takes around 12 messages to confirm: date, headcount, zone, dietary needs, club table after the show. Weekends sell out while weeknights sit half empty, and every no-show is an empty seat someone else would have taken.

What I built

For guests: → Live availability per night, with dinner and club selling out independently → An interactive room map instead of a dropdown: zones glow by how full they are → "Keep your table" after the show turns dinner guests into club guests → Dietary needs and birthday moments captured once, at booking → A digital ticket instead of a "we'll get back to you"

For the owner: → A Tonight view: covers, zones, allergies and birthday moments at a glance → A calendar showing seats and tables left for every night → Automatic reconfirmation the day before. Unconfirmed seats are released and offered to the waitlist → A kitchen sheet with covers and every allergy, sent before service → Follow-ups for abandoned bookings, thank-you notes, and a "same table next birthday?" message 11 months later → A demo time simulator, so you can watch every automation fire in real time

Before: 12 messages per booking, a manager glued to WhatsApp, empty seats from no-shows. After: a 2-minute self-serve booking, and a venue that follows up on its own.

Vesper is a fictional venue built to a real brief, the way a client project would be. Messages are previewed inside the app for the demo.
