CentralPlanner vs Tableo

CentralPlanner is an online reservation book for businesses managing bookings and guest information. Reservations can create guest contacts automatically, building a history of visits. The system handles rooms, tables, seating capacity, and suggested table combinations. Businesses can accept online reservations through a form embedded on a website or Facebook page. From Premium, the system can check capacity and accept or reject online requests automatically, with manual review also available. Professional adds capacity planning, attachments, reminder emails, and post-visit thank-you or review emails; it includes 5GB for attached PDFs and images. Reservations are available in a browser on internet-connected devices, and free apps are offered for iOS and Android. An API key lets an external application write to an account. Starter is free forever and allows 50 reservations per month. Paid prices are listed as €19.90/mo for Basis, €34.90/mo for Premium, and €59.90/mo for Professional, each plus VAT. CentralPlanner is a product of Cologne-based 42he GmbH.
