Quandoo is shutting down. Newbookings stop flowing through the platform on September 30, 2026, and itssystems go fully offline by December 31. If you're running your reservationsthrough Quandoo, you're choosing a replacement on a deadline — and choosingwell matters more than choosing fast, since you're also deciding where yourguest history goes next.

Below is a side-by-side look at themain alternatives, followed by a closer look at each one.

A quick note on accuracy: pricing andfeature sets across these platforms change often. The comparison below reflectseach platform's general positioning as of this writing. Confirm currentspecifics directly with each provider before you commit.

Hostme

Hostme is built as one system covering reservations, guest data, and floor operations together, rather than a booking calendar with add-ons bolted on. For a restaurant replacing Quandoo, that matters specifically because the guestbook — preferences, birthdays, anniversaries, visit history — lives in the same place as the reservation itself, so you're not stitching together a CRM separately.

What's included:

• Online reservations from your website, social channels, and dedicated booking pages
• A guestbook that retains guest preferences and visit history long-term
• Digital waitlist with SMS notifications when a table's ready
• Real-timetable management for floor staff
• Event and ticketing management for private events
• Marketing campaigns across SMS, email, and WhatsApp
• POS integration, server rotation tracking, and reporting across reservations, wait times, and covers
• One flat monthly subscription — no contracts, no per-cover or per-booking commissions

Hostme operates in 47 countries and 9 languages. Restaurants using it report a 19% average increase in total sales, a 24% increase in covers, and a 43% reduction in no-shows, backed by a 100% up time guarantee.

Pricing:

• Mezzo: $109/month ($98/month billedannually) — unlimited reservations, unlimited SMS/WhatsApp, 1 free event per month, full analytics.
• Grande: $169/month ($152/month billed annually) — adds POS integration and dedicated support, 5 free events per month.
• Enterprise (10+ locations) — custom quote. No commissions, no per-cover fees, no setup fees, and a 2-week free trial with no credit card required.

Best for: restaurants that want reservations and guest data to live in one place instead of stitching together separate tools, especially if retaining Quandoo-era guest history is a priority.

OpenTable

OpenTable has one of the largest diner networks in the industry, which gives it strong reach if discovery matters to your business. The tradeoff is cost structure: pricing scales across three published tiers, and per-cover fees apply on top of the base subscription for reservations sourced through OpenTable's network.

• Basic —$149/month, plus $1.50 per cover from OpenTable's network (after a 30-day freetrial) and $0.25 per cover (or $49/month flat) for bookings through your ownwebsite
• Core —$299/month, $1.00 per network cover, free covers via your own website
•  Pro —$499/month, $1.00 per network cover, free covers via your own website

A 2% service fee applies to deposits, no-shows, and prepaid bookings as of early 2026; phone and walk-in reservations aren't charged per cover on any tier

Best for: restaurants prioritizing diner discovery over cost predictability.

SevenRooms

SevenRooms leans heavily into guest CRM and marketing automation, and is generally aimed at larger operations or multi-location groups that need that depth. Pricing isn't published — the site lists Starter, Growth, and Premium tiers plus an Essential Operations option, with email marketing, event management, and API access available as add-ons, but you'll need a custom quote after a demo to see actual numbers.

Best for: larger or multi-location restaurantgroups with dedicated marketing operations and budget for a custom package.

Resy (including Tock)

Resy and Tock merged in mid-2026 under American Express, roughly doubling Resy's restaurant network to more than 25,000 venues and folding in Tock's ticketed-event and prepaid-booking tools.If you were considering Tock specifically for event ticketing, that functionality now lives inside Resy rather than as a separate product.

• Platform— $289/month
• Essential— $289/month, plus a 3% fee on prepayments
• Platform360 — $459/month
• Premium— $459/month, plus a 2% fee on prepayments

No per-cover or per-booking fees on any tier; standard payment processing feesapply on top of prepayment percentages

Best for: restaurants that want flat,predictable pricing and may also need ticketed or prepaid event bookings, without a dedicated built-in guest CRM.

TheFork Manager

TheFork has strong diner reach in Europe, largely through its TripAdvisor partnership, and its Michelin Guide and Google integrations extend that further. Its published Visibility plan is asingle tier at €39/month, with a commission-free booking widget for your ownwebsite. Confirm directly whether bookings sourced through TheFork's own dinerapp or wider network carry a separate fee, since that wasn't specified in the published plan details.

Best for: European restaurants prioritizingdiner reach over CRM depth, at a low published entry price.

Yelp Guest Manager

Yelp Guest Manager runs $129–$349/month depending on tier, with no per-cover fees, a contrast to competitors charging $1–$1.50 per reservation. It leans on Yelp's own audience plus listings on Reserve with Google, Apple Maps, and social platforms, and includes a complimentary iPad host station.

• Real-time waitlist with wait-time estimates cited at up to 92% accuracy
• Custom floor maps and two-way texting for no-show reduction
• Compatible with Toast and other POS systems
• Introductory offer includes up to 60 days free plus ad credit, per Yelp's own site

Best for: restaurants that already draw traffic through Yelp and want a no-cover-fee model with broad discovery listings.

Zenchef

Zenchef is a European all-in-one platform with three tiers: Reserve, Manage, and Grow, each layering on more functionality. All tiers publish €0 commission per cover, though payment processing and SMS fees vary by plan and aren't fully published; you'll need a quote for exact monthly pricing.

• Reserve: Online reservations, Zenchef app bookings, 24/7 call assist, guest reviews
• Manage: adds table management, waitlist, and multi-channel discovery via Instagram Reserve
• Grow: adds email marketing, advanced guest management, and multi-venue support

Best for: European restaurants that want commission-free covers and are comfortable requesting a quote for exact pricing.

If You're Migrating From Quandoo

The deadline that matters is September 30, not December 31. That's when Quandoo stops accepting new bookings. Get your guest data exported before management-tool access ends on October 1, regardless of which platform you choose.

If Hostme looks like a fit, our team can walk through your specific setup, handle the data export from Quandoo, and get your staff trained before it needs to carry a live service. You won't be billed until your Quandoo contract actually ends, so you're not paying for two systems during the switch.
