Hostme
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.
