What is the best booking system for a new restaurant?

Start with your expected booking volume and the features you need for opening day. A free plan may be enough at first.

How much should a small restaurant pay for a booking system?

Budget for the plan that covers your booking volume and required features. QuickTable's options are free for up to 30 bookings a month or £50/month for unlimited bookings. If another provider charges per seated diner, include those fees in your estimate: 500 diners at £1 each adds £500 to the monthly bill.
