We're restaurant people, not just software people

We built Resos because we saw how much time and money restaurants waste on the wrong booking system. Overcomplicated features, hidden per-cover fees, contracts that lock you in. It's a frustrating market to navigate.

So we decided to do something about it. Not just with our own product, but by creating a resource that helps restaurant owners understand what's actually out there. That's RestaurantBookingSystem.com.

Full transparency

This site is owned and operated by Resos. We include ourselves in comparisons alongside other systems. We don't pretend to be a neutral third party, but we are committed to being fair, accurate, and genuinely helpful. If a competitor is the better fit for your situation, we'll say so.

Why this site exists

Choosing a booking system shouldn't require a PhD in SaaS pricing. But between the jargon, the hidden fees, and the "contact us for pricing" pages, it often feels that way.

We talk to restaurant owners every day. The same questions come up again and again: What does this actually cost? Will it work for my size of restaurant? Do I really need all these features? We built this site to answer those questions. Clearly, honestly, and without the marketing spin.

What you'll find here

  • Side-by-side comparisons with real pricing, real pros and cons, and real recommendations based on restaurant type
  • Best-of guides that rank systems based on what actually matters to restaurant owners, not vendor partnerships
  • Practical academy guides on everything from reducing no-shows to optimizing table turnover
  • A glossary of restaurant industry terms that goes beyond simple definitions

How we keep it honest

Having skin in the game could be a bias problem. We think it's actually an advantage, as long as we're transparent about it. Here's how we hold ourselves accountable:

  • We show real pros and cons for every platform, including Resos
  • We don't automatically rank Resos first. We recommend what genuinely fits each use case
  • We verify pricing directly with providers and update it when things change
  • Every comparison page has a clear disclosure at the top
  • We cite our sources. No made-up statistics or vague "studies show" claims
