Your data

Used to market competitors to your guests

OpenTable charges $0.25–$1.50 per cover depending on how the booking originates. For a restaurant doing 300 covers a week, that's $15,000–$23,000 per year just in per-cover fees — on top of the monthly subscription.

Your guest data lives on OpenTable's platform, not yours. They use it to market competing restaurants to your own diners. The guests you worked to acquire see competitor ads in the very app they used to book your table.

Analytics are basic and reporting is limited. There's no AI copilot, no predictive no-show scoring, no morning briefings. You're paying premium prices for a booking widget with a guest database you don't control.

Why restaurants switch to TableShift

1

Zero Per-Cover Fees

Stop paying $0.25–$1.50 every time a guest sits down. TableShift uses flat monthly pricing — your costs stay the same whether you seat 100 or 1,000 guests.

2

Own Your Guest Data

Your customer profiles, reservation history, and preferences belong to you — not a platform that markets your competitors to your diners.

3

AI-Powered Operations

Morning briefings, no-show prediction, revenue forecasts, and a conversational AI copilot — the intelligence OpenTable never built.
