Eat App vs TableSat

Eat App is a cloud-based platform for restaurant reservations, table management, and guest CRM. It accepts real-time online bookings around the clock through a venue’s website, social media, and partner network. Staff can manage tables in timeline, grid, floor, or list views, with capacity controls and pacing tools. Guest profiles can store preferences, visit history, and spending, while CRM tools segment guests for targeted email and SMS campaigns. Reports cover busy periods, no-shows, waitlists, guest trends, and spending patterns. Integrations span POS, voice, payments, booking channels, hotel or property-management systems, and printers, with examples including Lightspeed, Google, Instagram, Stripe, and Mews. Eat App is available on web, Android, and iOS; mobile and iPad apps support offline use and sync when a connection returns. The Free plan costs nothing and is limited to 100 guests monthly. Paid plans start at $69/mo (annual), and a 14-day trial is listed. The company says data is encrypted in transit and at rest and that it has SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications.

TableSat provides independent restaurants with direct bookings, menus and front-of-house operations for a flat monthly price without per-cover fees. Staff can organize tables into sections, set seat counts, seat walk-ins, manage a waitlist and track turns and sellable gaps through the night. Guests can book through a public page and provide allergies, access needs and seating preferences. The menu builder supports multiple languages, allergen tags, public indexable menu pages and QR codes for menus, bookings and a link hub. Groups can manage multiple locations from one account, with separate floors and team-member roles. Approved private-event bookings appear in a connected Google Calendar and stay synchronized as bookings change. The admin is a responsive website for phones and tablets; the maker says there is no app. The Free plan costs nothing and includes a public profile menu page and email support, but not online bookings. Starter costs $49 a month, billed $49 / location · month, and includes one location, reservations, walk-ins, floor plan and table assignment, a booking page and team access. Growth costs $99 a month, billed $99 / location · month; advanced reporting, automated guest messaging/CRM and a multi-location dashboard are marked as coming features.
