Reservation systems range from free (Yelp Guest Manager) to $29-$899+ per month. OpenTable charges $39-$449/month plus per-cover fees ($0.25-$1.00 per reservation). Resy offers flat-rate pricing at $249-$899/month with no per-cover fees.
Do I need a reservation system for my restaurant?
If you take more than 10-15 reservations per day or have a waitlist, a reservation system saves time and reduces errors compared to phone bookings. It also provides valuable data on guest preferences and helps optimize table turnover.
