Best Table Booking Systems for UK Restaurants

The short answer: If you need demand generation, OpenTable's marketplace still fills the most seats — but you pay £0.25–£0.95 per cover on top of £39–£449/month. If your books are already busy, a flat-fee, commission-free system is better economics: ResDiary (from £109/month, no per-cover fees on direct bookings) or NomNom for smaller venues. Premium groups that want guest data and CRM depth should shortlist SevenRooms.
