Comparison · As of September 2026

Seven reservation systems compared

resmio, Teburio, Zenchef, OpenTable, TheFork, Quandoo — and bookete. The first question is not which system is best, but which kind you need: a marketplace, an all-in-one suite or a booking tool. Price comes after that. bookete is one of the seven, and we say who it is built for.

The short version

  • The first decision is the kind of system, not the price: marketplace, all-in-one suite or booking tool.
  • Tools and suites charge a fixed amount per month. Marketplaces charge a base fee plus a fee for every guest they send you — that is how you buy reach.
  • Where a vendor publishes its prices, they are on this page. Where the offer is put together individually, it says “on request”; we do not reproduce figures from comparison articles.
  • bookete is a booking tool for small places whose guests already find them: a fixed amount per month, never a fee per guest, cancellable monthly.

Three kinds of system

The seven do not solve the same job. Before comparing prices, it pays to ask which kind of system you need at all — after that the list gets short.

Booking tool

bookete · Teburio

One tool for one job: give out tables online and keep the day in view. A fixed amount per month, no fee per guest. Newsletters, till and vouchers stay with the tools you already use for them.

  • booketeCancel monthly at no surcharge, no setup fee, no add-ons. No per-guest fee on any plan.
  • TeburioFour packages, cancellable monthly with one month's notice to month-end. Starter is limited to 80 seats and one user; the graphical table plan arrives with Professional. Never a fee per reservation.

Fits when your guests already find you and taking reservations is what currently costs too much time.

All-in-one suite

resmio · Zenchef

Reservations are part of a larger system: newsletters, guest feedback, vouchers, till integration, phone assistant. Also a fixed amount per month, with modules bookable individually.

  • resmioThree plans, one of them free. The price list states a 12-month minimum term and a surcharge for monthly cancellation. The graphical table plan and further modules are add-ons to Premium and are included in Ultimate. Reservations are commission-free on every plan.
  • ZenchefAccording to the provider, no fee per guest sent your way, with modules bookable separately. For the German-speaking market the plans page states payment and add-on fees; the base price comes with the quote.

Fits when you want several of those jobs from one supplier and will use the breadth.

Marketplace

OpenTable · TheFork Manager · Quandoo

A portal brings guests who do not know you yet, and charges for every person who books through it on top of the base fee. Bookings through your own website are excluded. You are buying reach; the software comes with it.

  • OpenTablePublishes a price list for Germany: a base fee per plan, plus a fee for every guest who books through the OpenTable network. Reservations from your own website, by phone and walk-ins are exempt. Twelve-month term.
  • TheFork ManagerThree plans, tiered by scope, each with a published setup fee; TheFork gives the monthly price in the quote. Reservations from your own website, Instagram and Facebook carry no fee, and for referred guests the fee follows the restaurant's price category.
  • QuandooFree of charge for restaurant partners since 1 April 2026. The last booking day is 30 September 2026, after which contracts end automatically.

Fits in a tourist or heavily contested location, where the per-guest fee is a marketing budget.

What a month costs

Prices as published by each vendor, net, as of September 2026. The rows follow the order of the three kinds, because a tool and a suite solve different jobs, and a marketplace price includes guests the others do not bring. The last two columns compare like with like: cancellable monthly, and cancellable monthly with a graphical table plan.

All amounts net. The “cancellable monthly” column adds resmio's €10 a month for monthly cancellation instead of a 12-month minimum term; the last column adds the €19.90 for the graphical table plan on top. Both figures are from resmio's own price list. Teburio includes the graphical table plan from Professional up. bookete has no graphical table plan: you set rooms and tables up as a list — more on that below.

Zenchef and TheFork put their offer together individually for the German-speaking market, which is why those rows say “On request”. We do not reproduce figures from comparison articles — what counts is the quote you receive.

Quandoo is shutting down: since 1 April 2026 its services have been free of charge for restaurant partners, and on 30 September 2026 the contracts end automatically. The row is here because many restaurants are coming from there right now.

Always the same with bookete

€39

Your success does not make bookete more expensive. Up to 100 reserved seats a month you pay nothing.

Three example restaurants

What the three kinds mean for a specific business. The businesses are invented; the assumptions are stated with them.

Bistro with 24 seats, city centre

Guests arrive via Google, Instagram and regulars; around 250 reserved seats a month, barely any through a portal.

A booking tool: the reach is there, the admin is the work.

What that costs

bookete Pro €39, Teburio Professional 59 €, resmio Premium 69,90 €. OpenTable Core costs 99 € a month plus 1,50 € per guest from the network — the reach you pay for there is not this restaurant's bottleneck.

Trattoria in a tourist area, 60 seats

Many guests have never heard of the place. Assume 300 reserved seats a month arrive through a portal.

A marketplace: here the per-guest fee is a marketing budget.

What that costs

OpenTable Core: 99 € plus 300 × 1,50 € = 549 € a month. A fixed-price system costs less but does not bring those 300 guests with it. The question is what the guests are worth, not what the system costs.

Wine bar with an Instagram following, 30 seats

Every reservation comes through the link in the bio and the restaurant's own website. Newsletters and vouchers are wanted.

An all-in-one suite, if both should come from one supplier — otherwise a booking tool alongside the tools that already do those jobs.

What that costs

resmio Premium 69,90 € plus one add-on 19,90 € = 89,80 €. Or bookete Pro €39 and a newsletter tool of your own beside it.

Who the guests belong to

With a marketplace the guest books with the portal. With bookete they book with you.

Guest data
With a system you run yourself, your restaurant stays the controller under the GDPR — that is the case with bookete. A marketplace also keeps its own guest account and its own relationship with the guest; that is part of the reach you are paying for there. What it means in detail is in each vendor's terms and privacy notice.
Where the data sits
bookete stores reservation and guest data exclusively in the Frankfurt data centre (region eu-central-1). The application itself runs on Cloudflare's global network: a request is processed at whichever location is nearest the person making it, and that can be a location outside the EU; the EU standard contractual clauses cover that transfer. Where the other providers store and process is set out in their privacy policies — we do not reproduce it here, because those statements change and only the source itself is authoritative.
Tracking
The bookete booking page runs no third-party tracking cookies, and guest contact details are anonymised automatically once 90 days have passed since the last visit and no future reservation remains. How the other providers handle this is set out in their privacy policies and cookie notices.

Fewer features, on purpose

An all-in-one suite bundles reservations, marketing, guest feedback, till and phone assistant — a lot of scope for businesses that use it. bookete covers the core and nothing else. That keeps the price low and the setup short.

What bookete does

The core

  • Your own booking page with its own link, even without a website
  • A booking window for your own website, embedded with one script tag
  • A day list holding online and phone bookings together
  • Add a phone reservation in a few clicks
  • Rooms and tables, assigned automatically, moved whenever you like
  • Opening hours per weekday, several windows a day
  • Confirmation by email, immediately
  • A reminder the day before, automatically
  • A personal link to change or cancel, without a phone call
  • Quandoo import by CSV, and imported bookings do not count against your allowance

All of it is included on every plan, the free one too. No add-ons.

What others have and bookete does not

Deliberately not included

Reach through a portal is part of that: OpenTable and TheFork bring guests who do not know you yet, and charge per person for them. bookete has no marketplace — that is a decision, not a gap.

  • No POS integration. Reservations and the till stay separate systems.
  • No deposits and no card details on file. Against no-shows, the confirmation, the reminder the day before and the cancel link in every email do the work.
  • No graphical floor plan to draw on. Rooms and tables are set up as a list; assigning and moving guests works the same way.
  • No SMS. Everything runs by email — which keeps the monthly price free of a per-message cost.
  • One reservation duration per restaurant, not per service or weekday. If lunch and dinner run differently, set the duration to the longer case.

If you need one of these, an all-in-one suite is the better-fitting kind: at resmio the graphical table plan is an add-on to Premium and included in Ultimate, at Teburio it comes with Professional. If you do not need it, bookete is the shorter route.

Who each one suits

Every one of these systems is the right one for somebody. Here is for whom.

bookete is our own product. We do not rank it here; we say who it is built for.

bookete
Small restaurants, cafés and bistros whose guests already find them through Google, Instagram or their own website. One venue, one account, set up in about 15 minutes, free up to 100 reserved seats a month — and never a per-guest fee.
Teburio
Also a flat price, publicly listed, cancellable monthly. Worth a look if you need a graphical table plan or run several locations. The smallest package is limited to one user and 80 seats.
resmio
Restaurants that want newsletters, guest feedback, vouchers and POS integrations from one place. Basic is free; the paid plans bring the full scope, with a 12-month term or with a surcharge for monthly cancellation.
Zenchef
Restaurants that want a fixed monthly fee with no per-guest fee and like to assemble their modules one by one — with a quote tailored to their venue.
OpenTable, TheFork
Restaurants in tourist or heavily contested locations, where a large share of guests arrive through the portal and the per-guest fee reads as a marketing budget. That comes with onboarding through sales.

Questions worth asking any vendor

Seven questions whose answers are in no price list. Ask them before you sign — including us.

How long is the minimum term, and how does the contract renew?

Twelve months with automatic renewal and cancellable monthly are two different products, even at the same monthly amount.

What does the plan cost from month 13?

Introductory prices for the first year are common. The number to plan with is the one after that.

Which bookings are charged per guest, and which are not?

At a marketplace the fee usually applies only to guests who arrive through the portal. Where the vendor draws that line decides your bill.

Is there a setup fee, and what does it include?

Training, importing your existing reservations and putting the widget on your site are sometimes included and sometimes not.

In what format do I get my reservations and guest data if I leave?

A CSV export is the minimum. Ask whether it carries every field, how long it stays available after the contract ends, and whether it costs anything.

Who is the controller under the GDPR: my business or the vendor?

That decides who may contact the guests and what happens to the data when the contract ends.

What happens to the widget on my website if the service ends?

Quandoo partners are finding out right now: from 1 October 2026 the platform processes no bookings and the widget has to come off the site. Ask about notice and the export deadline.

Coming from Quandoo?

From 1 October 2026 Quandoo takes no more bookings.

Quandoo announced on 24 March 2026 that it is winding down operations by the end of 2026; the service has been free of charge for restaurant partners since 1 April 2026. Reservations are possible until 30 September 2026, at which point contracts end automatically. From 1 October 2026 neither new nor existing bookings are handled, the platform goes static, and the Quandoo widget on your website stops working and should be removed. You can export your reservation and guest history until 31 December 2026, after which the website, app and infrastructure are shut down. You upload the CSV to bookete, and imported bookings do not count against your monthly allowance.

Switching from Quandoo

The simplest thing: try it

Free costs nothing, has no term, and is set up in about 15 minutes. If it does not suit you, delete the account.

Sources and status

Tariffs researched September 2026. All amounts are net prices, plus whatever tax applies in your country. Models, plans and terms can change; what the provider itself states is always what counts. bookete is not affiliated with any of the providers named, and the brand names serve only to identify them.

Zenchef and TheFork put their offer together individually for the German-speaking market. That is why no amount appears for either of them on this page — we do not reproduce estimates from comparison articles.

OpenTable publishes a price list for Germany and a separate one for the USA. The amounts on this page come from the German price list.
