bavoli vs Hostme

bavoli is a web service combining restaurant ordering, reservations, waitlists, menus, guest profiles, and a phone agent.

Guest CRM records preferences, visit history, dietary needs, and special occasions. The Free plan costs nothing, needs no card, and includes unlimited reservations, waitlist parties, and covers, texts for the first 25 parties monthly, and 60 phone-agent minutes once. Plus is $30 a month or $300 a year; Pro is $60 a month or $600 a year. A phone-agent add-on costs $50 a month or $500 a year, and an Event pass costs $150, paid once. Ordering fees are $0.50 pickup, $1.00 delivery, and 0.5% QR or kiosk; delivery is currently for US restaurants.

Hostme is restaurant reservation and table management software for operators managing the guest journey. Guests can book through a restaurant website, social media channels, or Hostme’s reservation site. The system handles reservations and walk-in waitlists together, and can text guests when a table is ready. Other listed features include table and event management, server rotation, online ordering, reports, and a digital guestbook. Integrations include Facebook, Instagram, Google, WhatsApp, Wix, Square, Lightspeed, and multiple POS systems. Marketing campaigns can send SMS, email, and WhatsApp messages, though using the Marketing tool requires a $20 credit package. Hostme supports web, iOS, and Android. Its annual MEZZO plan is $98 a month, and GRANDE is $152 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom for owners with 10 or more units. A two-week free trial requires no credit card, and there is no free plan. Hostme says subscriptions have no contracts, commissions, or per-cover fees, and advertises 24/7 support through in-app chat or a support phone line.
