The new Jonas Dining
The tables have turned.
Dining reservations and table management that seat members, open the chit and pace the kitchen, from one live floor plan.
How the POS integration works
From reservation to billing. No handoffs.
- Seat a memberThe chit opens with the right account and server.
- Move the partyThe chit moves with them.
- Seat the wrong memberOne click voids the chit, unless something was already ordered.
No re-keying. No second system to correct afterward.
Works with JCM and Encore.
How the floor plan works
See the room.Run the room.
Jonas Dining gives the host stand a live floor plan with every table's status and who is serving what. It is web based and built for a tablet, so it works on the floor, not only at the stand.
- Seat walk-insSeat a party from the stand and the timeline fills in behind them.
- Move or swap partiesMove a party to an open table and everything attached to them comes along.
- Reassign a server's sectionSomeone calls out, their tables move to another server in one change.
Turn timers flag tables seated too long and tables about to open, so the next party sits at the right moment.
Block tables or a whole room for a private event, and see every affected reservation before you commit.
How pacing works
The kitchen sets the pace.
Set reservation intervals, seating limits and cover thresholds for one room or several sharing a kitchen, and Jonas Dining keeps the dining room from outrunning what the kitchen can plate.
- Set the thresholdCovers per interval for one room, or for every room that shares the kitchen.
- The front desk books inside itEvery booking is checked against the limit before it is created, so nobody needs to know the kitchen math.
- A manager takes one moreWhen it is the right call, the override is a tap, and it is logged.
The front desk books from availability that already respects it all.

Frequently asked
Questions clubs ask.
Jonas Dining is dining reservation and table management software for private clubs. It connects member reservations, the live floor plan and your JCM or Encore POS, so seating, member details and billing stay in one system.
What is private club dining reservation software?
It handles member reservations, the floor plan staff work from during service, and the connection to club billing. Unlike restaurant booking tools, it works from member records, so preferences, allergies and account details are already there.
Who is Jonas Dining for at a private club?
Jonas Dining is built for the people who run a club dining room: the F&B manager, hosts, servers and the front desk. All four work from the same live floor plan.
Does it work with JCM and Encore?
Yes, on the latest version of JCM or Encore, including the seating-to-POS chit workflow.
How does the POS connection work?
Seating a member opens a POS chit with their account and the assigned server. If the party moves, the chit moves with them. Unseating the wrong member voids the chit, unless something was already ordered.
Can we manage walk-ins and changes during service?
Yes. Seat walk-ins, move or swap parties, adjust table assignments and reassign server sections from the live floor plan.
Can we manage multiple dining rooms sharing one kitchen?
Yes. Set seating and cover limits for individual rooms or groups of rooms sharing a kitchen, with manager overrides when needed.
Can members book online?
Yes. Jonas Dining reservations run through your ClubHouse Online or MembersFirst site, or the Flex and Premium App member apps, with no separate login. You control booking windows, party sizes and available times.
Can we customize our rooms and dining schedules?
Yes: floor plans, table combinations, meal periods, seasonal schedules, turn times, and blocks for tables or whole rooms.
We already use Jonas or MembersFirst for dining. What changes?
Your member records, preferences and allergies carry over. Floor plans, tables and schedules are set up fresh with you. And it is more than a reservation system now: you get full table management. Your client manager can walk you through it.
What do we need to use Jonas Dining?
Jonas Dining needs the latest version of JCM or Encore and a member site on ClubHouse Online or MembersFirst, so members book without a separate login.
Can we use Jonas Dining if we also run Events?
Yes. Jonas Dining works for clubs that also run Events. If your Events and dining share rooms, staff block the dining room by hand when an event takes it over, and the new schedule builder makes that quick. Shared dining and events is planned for the first half of 2027. Clubs without shared rooms have nothing extra to plan around.
