Three ways to take a booking.
Only one of the three charges you more when your room is full.
| What it costs | Who it brings you | What you are left with | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A phone and a paper book | Nothing. | Nobody new. | One book in one place, with no reports afterwards. |
| A marketplace that charges per cover | A fee on every cover, regulars included. | New guests who had never heard of you. | Guests who belong to the marketplace, on its terms. |
| A flat-fee booking systemResOlio | One flat price with no fee per cover, and no card taken from a guest. | Nobody new: every booking comes from someone who already found you. | Your own page and book; on Pro, a guest book never sold or shared. |
A phone, a pencil and total control.
It costs nothing, and your host decides every table.
What replaces it
- One book, live on your tablets and at home.
- A double booking refused before it is taken.
- Walk-ins and phone bookings in the same book.
The listing that charges per cover.
The fee is only part of what it costs you.
The fee grows as you fill up
Your busiest Saturday costs the most, and even a regular who books through the app costs you a fee.
The guest belongs to the app
They come back through the app, and its terms decide what you take with you when you leave.
Listed beside your neighbour
In an order you do not set, for a guest you both want.
Full house, same bill.
On Pro, one flat price per restaurant and no limit on bookings.
What the price buys
- Your own booking page.
- A booking button on the website you have.
- The floor and the service screen behind it.
- On Pro, the guest book: never sold, never shared.
Choose by the problem you have.
You can keep a listing for discovery and still move your book here.
If the problem is that nobody knows you are there
No booking system fixes that, ours included; a marketplace does, and a listing that fills empty tables earns its fee.
If the phone and the book genuinely work
With one service and a host who knows every table, the book is enough.
