Restaurant reservation systems compared
Marketplace with commission, all-in-one with POS, or a lean system at a flat price? The models differ more than the feature lists. Here is the overview – every claim with a source.
Three models, three bills
Marketplace
Diners find you through the provider’s app or website. There is often a fee per guest, and diners also see other restaurants there.
All-in-one with POS
POS, stock control and bookings from one vendor. Useful if you are changing your POS anyway.
Flat-price reservation system
One flat monthly price, no fee per guest. Guests book directly with you – on your website, Google profile or social media.
