Quandoo Pricing 2026: Cost & Why It's Shutting Down

Quandoo is shutting down, so its pricing is now a migration question. Online bookings continue until September 30, 2026, and services are discontinued on December 31, 2026. Existing customers should compare replacement costs with their own Quandoo contract and final invoices instead of relying on an old public estimate.

What to use as the pricing record

Quandoo’s official closure page does not publish a historical rate card. Use the restaurant’s signed agreement and recent invoices to record:

Subscription and billing period
Booking or marketplace fees
Setup or hardware charges
Notice, refund, and final-billing terms

That restaurant-specific record is more useful for a migration comparison than a third-party estimate from another market or contract year.

The timeline that actually matters

September 30, 2026: Quandoo stops taking new bookings. After this, you cannot rely on it for online reservations.
December 31, 2026: the platform shuts down entirely.

If you are on Quandoo, treat September as your real deadline. Migrating earlier lets you run the old and new systems in parallel and move guest data without losing reservations.

What to migrate to

The replacement question is mostly about avoiding the marketplace-commission model Quandoo used. Flat-fee, commission-free systems charge one predictable price with no per-cover fee:

Platform	Model	Per-cover fees	Free tier
Resos	Flat subscription	None	Yes (25 bookings/mo)
Zenchef	Flat subscription	None	No (trial)
TheFork	Subscription + commission	Yes	No (trial)
OpenTable	Subscription + fees	$0.25-$1.50/cover	No

If you want to replace Quandoo’s discovery network, TheFork is the closest European marketplace. If you would rather own your bookings and stop paying per cover, a flat-fee system is the cleaner move.

We have a step-by-step Quandoo migration guide and a full list of Quandoo alternatives covering data export and switching with no downtime.

How to migrate before the deadline

Pick your new system now so you have time to set it up and test.
Export your guest data from Quandoo while it is still live.
Run both in parallel for a couple of weeks, shifting bookings to the new platform.
Update your booking links on Google Business Profile, your website, and social before September 30.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Quandoo cost in 2026?

Quandoo is closing and is no longer a viable new software purchase. Its official update says online bookings continue until September 30, 2026 and services are discontinued on December 31, 2026. Existing customers should use their contract or final invoice for historical pricing and focus on migration costs.

Is Quandoo really shutting down?

Yes. Quandoo announced it will cease operations: new bookings stop on September 30, 2026 and the platform shuts down completely on December 31, 2026. Restaurants on Quandoo need to move to another booking system before the September deadline to avoid losing online reservations.

What should Quandoo restaurants migrate to?

Move to a system that lets you keep your bookings and data. Commission-free, flat-fee platforms like Resos (free tier, then from $24/month) avoid the per-cover fees Quandoo charged. Our Quandoo migration guide walks through exporting data and switching with no downtime.

Did Quandoo charge commission?

Historical fees depended on the restaurant's agreement. This guide does not preserve an unverified rate card. Existing customers should check their contract and final invoices when comparing the cost of a replacement.

How long do I have to migrate off Quandoo?

New bookings end September 30, 2026, so practically you should migrate before then to keep taking reservations online. Full shutdown is December 31, 2026. Starting early gives you time to run both systems in parallel and move your guest data cleanly.
