How a paladar like La Guarida (Havana) could use Tablefllow
Reservation-only flow, USD pricing, and pre-payment for tourist-heavy dining in Havana.
By Tablefllow Team · July 8, 2026
Illustrative playbook
Educational example. Not affiliated with La Guarida. Based on the publicly known Havana paladar concept — a private, reservation-only fine-dining experience.
A paladar is a fully booked, tourist-heavy, cash-and-crypto reality. Tablefllow's reservation engine + international payment collection is a genuine unlock.
USD pricing, pre-payment
- Price in USD at the storefront.
- Full pre-payment required — international card or bank transfer.
- No-shows automatically forfeit the payment.
Booking capacity guard
Set a hard cap per service — the kitchen simply can't do 60 covers. When the cap is hit, the storefront shows 'Fully booked — join waitlist,' capturing the phone number for a cancellation slot.
The souvenir email
A week after the meal, an auto-email with the menu they ate, in a printable card format. Guests share it. Free marketing.
