How to choose an OpenTable alternative

First, look at where your bookings come from. A diner marketplace may be useful if you need to attract new customers. If most guests find you through your website, social profiles or word of mouth, a booking system for those channels may cover your needs.

Then compare the total monthly cost at your booking volume, access to guest data, and the features your staff will use. Check whether you need a website widget, table management, marketing tools or prepaid events before choosing a plan.
