Frequently asked questions

No. TablesReady uses flat monthly pricing. There are no per-cover fees on any plan, no setup fees and no long-term contracts.
Can guests book a reservation from Google?
Yes. With Reserve with Google, guests can book directly from Google Search and Google Maps, and the reservation lands in TablesReady alongside your other bookings and walk-ins. Reserve with Google is included in the Business plan.
Can I manage reservations and walk-ins together?
Yes. Reservations and your walk-in waitlist appear on the same screen, and wait-time estimates account for reservations that are about to arrive. See how walk-ins and reservations work together.
Can I send reservation reminders?
Yes. TablesReady can text guests a reminder anywhere from 1 minute to 90 days before their reservation. Guests can reply to confirm or cancel, which frees the table for someone else.
How much does restaurant reservation software cost?
Paid plans start at $39/month and include reservations your staff enter. Online booking, Reserve with Google and table management are included in the Business plan. There are no per-cover fees, and you can try every feature free for 14 days — the trial includes up to 150 texts and doesn’t require a credit card. See pricing.
Can I take deposits with reservations?
Yes. The Stripe integration on the Business plan lets you take deposits and payments.
How is TablesReady different from OpenTable?
OpenTable is a diner marketplace that charges per-cover fees on bookings. TablesReady is an operations tool for your host stand: reservations, waitlist and guest texting at a flat monthly price. If your restaurant fills seats through walk-ins, your own website and Google rather than a booking marketplace, TablesReady is usually the better fit. See the full comparison.
