Half Past — 12-seat chef's counter booking (Federal Hill, Providence) - At a 12-stool counter, guests get a real yes/no and a confirmed seat—not a maybe from Instagram—while the owner stops doing seat math on the Half Past is a mobile-first booking app for Elena Cho’s 12-seat chef’s counter on Federal Hill, Providence. Dinner is Thursday–Saturday only, one seating at 7:00 PM (arrive by 6:45).

For guests: choose party size, see live seats, book what fits or join the waitlist when the party doesn’t fit, confirm with pay-at-counter (no card hold in this demo), QR check-in at the door, and a party pass link to share. Marco answers common questions (when you pay, how to book Saturday).

For the owner: Elena’s desk shows the same live data—Thursday, Friday, and Saturday seat maps, confirmed parties, and waitlist when seats open. Elena doesn’t answer the phone after 4pm. The app enforces party-size seat math, shows who’s on the books, and surfaces the waitlist when seats open—so she’s not rebuilding the room in her head while plating.

Built entirely in Lovable. Dark dining-room UI (charcoal, wine, copper)—not a generic salon template.
