Handling restaurant bookings can involve guest reminders, tables, waiting lists, and the channels through which reservations arrive. Compare booking channels with table management and waitlist management to see which parts of that work are covered. Automated reminders and deposits or prepayment add other booking-process considerations. Included locations and multi-location support can help you compare options for one or several sites; free plan and paid-from pricing add cost context. Resos and Anolla appear first, followed by Favouritetable, Eat App, and Tableo. Weigh these features against the reservation tasks and location needs you have.
