How do I choose a restaurant reservation system? How much is Eatsy?

Eatsy is built for independent restaurants: usage-based from NT$3 per booking (NT$5 with a deposit), no monthly fee, no lock-in, with a 7-day no-card trial. When choosing, check: monthly-fee lock-in, whether your guest list travels with you, and whether a team takes over when something breaks.

How do I cut no-shows?

Two mechanisms together: automatic SMS/Email reminders before the booking, plus deposits for high-ticket or peak slots; the system also flags high-risk bookings so you can act early. Reminders go out by SMS and Email for reliable delivery.

Can guests join a standby list when a slot is full? How does the walk-in waitlist work?

Both are built in. If the slot a guest wants is full they can join a standby list, and the next person is notified automatically as soon as someone cancels. A walk-in with no table leaves a phone number and the system texts them when a table frees up — the guest never has to add anything, and nobody has to shout numbers at the door. Waitlist and standby are included in the usage-based price from NT$3 per booking; there is no separate monthly fee for them.

Is my guest list locked in?

No. Guest contacts and spend history stay with you and travel with you, so you can run your own regulars and repeat-customer marketing — not locked to a platform or system.

How is it different from other reservation systems?

Eatsy is designed for independent restaurants: usage-based (not a high monthly fee with lock-in), your list travels with you, reminders and deposits cut no-shows, and a team is there when something breaks. 100+ restaurants use it today.

Can I use it with takeout and staff scheduling?

Yes. Reservations, takeout & delivery, and Workforce (scheduling/clock-in) are all Eatsy features — use one on its own or integrate them in one system with the numbers in one place.

Monthly fee, pay-per-booking, or a booking platform: which fits your restaurant

The biggest difference between reservation systems is often not features but whether the pricing model matches your booking volume. Take last month's actual booking count and check it against these three models.

Monthly or annual fee
Fits
Restaurants with steady monthly bookings and high table turnover
Watch out for
In a slow month the fixed cost stays the same; before signing, ask whether there is an annual contract and what early cancellation costs
Pay per booking (how Eatsy works)
Fits
Independent restaurants with seasonal swings, new openings, or volume that is still unpredictable
Watch out for
At very high volume, work out the total. Eatsy is from NT$3 per booking, NT$5 with a deposit, with no monthly fee and no lock-in
Consumer booking platform (brings new guests)
Fits
Restaurants that want a platform to send them new diners
Watch out for
You are renting the platform's traffic, so the guest list and follow-up marketing usually stay with the platform; it is a different job from running your own bookings, and many restaurants use both
