Favouritetable vs Taybl

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.

Taybl combines restaurant bookings, food safety, staff rotas, event ticketing, and marketing in one platform. Booking tools include website widgets and hosted pages, floor plans, guest CRM, a waiting list, deposits, and no-show charges. Food safety functions cover opening and closing routines, temperature checks, cooking and cooling checks, prep lists, and an SFBB diary. The rota features include mobile clock-in and clock-out, shift swaps, leave management, availability, and payroll exports; an AI builder uses bookings, availability, required hours, historic data, popular dates, and weather to prepare a rota. Marketing can target guest segments and automate campaigns for special dates, lapsed guests, and regulars. Ticketing includes seating plans or general admission, QR-coded tickets, food pre-orders, and door check-in. Taybl lists integrations such as Clover, Lightspeed, Square, Toast, Zonal, QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, Twilio, and an open API. It is available on Android, iOS, and web, and is described as UK-only. The 14-day trial includes all apps, features, and unlimited users; SMS and Voice AI are paid add-ons. Pricing varies by product, including Bookings at £69 a month per venue and Rotas at £39 a month per venue.
