OpenTable was built to fill seats through a massive diner marketplace. Hostme was built for independents who want to own their guest data without per-cover fees or walled-garden restrictions.
OpenTable built its business on per-cover fees and marketplace dependency. Hostme was built for restaurant owners who want full control of their costs, their guests, and their operations.
Built from the ground up with input from restaurant owners, Hostme is the restaurant management solution designed to meet the unique needs of your operations.
OpenTable charges a per-cover fee for every diner booked through their network, plus monthly subscription fees. They retain guest data and use it for their own marketplace.
OpenTable Core Plan is most similar to Hostme Mezzo.
Every reservation through OpenTable costs you money per diner — on top of your monthly subscription. With Hostme, you pay one flat monthly fee and keep 100% of your reservation revenue. No surprises, no per-cover charges, no matter how busy you get.
When guests book through OpenTable, the platform controls the relationship. With Hostme, every guest profile, visit history, and preference is yours — stored in your guestbook, available for your marketing campaigns, forever.
