Honest Comparisons
TableShift vs the Competition
Every major restaurant reservation platform compared side by side. No marketing fluff — transparent pricing, real feature gaps, and honest assessments of who each tool is best for.
OpenTable
Zero per-cover fees vs $1.50/cover + $499/mo
OpenTable controls your guest data and charges per booking. TableShift is $99/mo flat — you own your data and pay nothing per cover.
Resy
A complete restaurant OS vs a diner-centric booking tool
Resy is built to surface restaurants to diners, not to help you run a restaurant. TableShift puts operators first with AI analytics, deposits, and a full CRM.
Tock
Deposit-first reservations that stay independent
Tock pioneered deposit reservations, then was acquired and merged into Resy. TableShift keeps the model you built your business on — without the platform risk.
SevenRooms
Enterprise-grade CRM at independent-restaurant pricing
SevenRooms delivers powerful guest data tools at $500+/mo with a steep learning curve. TableShift matches the CRM depth at $99/mo with AI doing the heavy lifting.
The short version
Every competitor charges per cover, restricts data export, or locks critical features behind enterprise tiers. TableShift is $99/month flat per location — all features included, all data yours, zero per-cover fees, and AI built into the core — not bolted on.
