In their own words
Favouritetable
Favouritetable is a restaurant management and dining system for online bookings, table planning, capacity, payments and marketing. Its booking diary, visual floor plan, waiting list, guest management and reporting tools help manage reservations and service. Guests can book through a restaurant website, Google listing or social profiles; reservations enter the live diary and availability updates in real time. The system also supports menu pre-orders, takeaway, collection, delivery and contactless order-and-pay at table. Marketing tools include CRM, customer segmentation, email and SMS campaigns, re-targeting and guest review management. Favouritetable says subscription plans have unlimited bookings without commission. The free plan allows up to 30 online bookings per month and requires Favouritetable to be the sole and exclusive booking provider and integrated with the website; other terms apply. FT LITE is £69 a month, excluding VAT, for one user. Other listed paid plans run from £99 to £199 per month, excluding VAT. The product works on web-enabled devices, with UK-based support by phone, email, chat, documentation and training.
