Quandoo is shutting down, so its pricing is now a migration question. New bookings end September 30, 2026 and the platform closes completely on December 31, 2026. Historically Quandoo cost around €29/month plus a setup fee and a per-cover commission on network bookings, but if you are still on Quandoo the priority is moving to a new system before the September deadline. Below is what it cost and what to do now.
Quandoo’s historical pricing
| Component | What it was |
|---|---|
| Subscription | From around €29/month (Standard) |
| Setup fee | Yes, one-time |
| Per-cover fee | Charged on network bookings |

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.

How to migrate before the deadline

- 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.
