FAQ
How much does a reservation system cost per month?
It depends on the pricing structure: a monthly fee is fixed whether or not you get bookings; usage-based charges per booking; commission takes a share of each ticket; free plans usually earn it back through ads, referral traffic or paid add-ons. The same restaurant can see very different three-year totals under the four models, so run your own booking volume rather than comparing list prices.
Seasonal restaurant: monthly fee or usage-based?
In slow months a monthly fee is still due in full, while usage-based pricing falls with your bookings. Enter your slowest and busiest months separately to see the difference across a year.
Commission looks cheap — why does the total cost climb?
Commission scales with the ticket: the higher your average spend, the more you pay per booking, and there is no cap as bookings grow. The tool converts your average ticket into an effective per-booking cost and lines it up against flat usage-based pricing.
