How 8covers works

You describe the occasion, the date window, the group size and what is non-negotiable. Nothing is sent anywhere until you authorize dispatch.

• Hard requirements are separated from preferences
• 'I don't know yet' is a valid answer on every field
• Participants can add dietary and access needs without an account

Restaurants answer your brief with a structured plan. 8covers normalizes every plan to the same guest basis so the numbers can honestly be compared.

• Every plan states VAT and service inclusion, or is marked unknown
• Availability shows its evidence and when it was last confirmed
• Plans that miss a hard requirement never outrank ones that meet it

The restaurant and every extra live in one event order made of per-merchant suborders. Each merchant confirms its own part under its own policy.

• Money is only due once the relevant suborder is confirmed
• Changes are proposed as a diff and require each affected merchant to accept
• Cancellation terms are shown per merchant, never averaged
