The Problem
You're paying for every diner who walks through your door.
Per-cover fees add up fast
At £1–£3.90 per cover, a busy Saturday service costs £100+ before you've served a single dish.
Annual contracts trap you in
Most platforms lock you into 12-month agreements. If they raise prices or disappoint, you're stuck.
Setup fees before you've seen results
Hundreds of pounds upfront before you've taken a single booking.
Complexity built for chains
Enterprise features hiding the simple tools you actually need.
| Quandoo per-cover fee | £3.90 / cover |
| OpenTable monthly | £179+ / mo |
| ResDiary setup fee | Hundreds £ |
| ReserveNation per cover | £0 always |
| ReserveNation Starter | Free forever |
| ReserveNation Pro | £49 / month |
