Resos

Overview

Resos is reservation and table-management software for restaurants, cafés, bars, and pubs that want to handle online bookings and guest service in one system. It suits venues that need booking channels, table planning, and guest records, with room to pay for higher monthly booking limits as demand grows. Its range of operational tools is a strength; the free plan’s 25-booking cap and lack of add-ons make it a limited long-term choice for busier venues.

Founded in 2018 and based in Copenhagen, Resos describes its reservation software as commission-free. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and offers an API for connecting it with existing technology.

Key features

Booking and table operations

Venues can add a booking link or widget to their website and social media without coding, and guests can book through Google Search, Maps, or Assistant with availability synced automatically. That gives customers several ways to reserve without requiring a custom booking flow. Reserve with Google is a paid add-on, requires a paid subscription, and depends on the restaurant’s country, so venues relying on Google bookings should check eligibility and the add-on cost.

The visual table planner shows tables and occupancy, while waitlist management, deposits or prepayment, and multi-location support extend Resos beyond a basic booking form. These tools make it relevant to venues coordinating floor space and guest arrivals across locations. The monthly booking quotas still matter: a venue should match its expected volume to the plan before committing.

Guest service and integrations

Automatic customer profiles give staff information for more tailored service, and automated SMS and email reminders are designed to help reduce no-shows. Resos names Stripe, Trustpilot, and Facebook among its integrations; custom integrations can be created with Zapier, and the API offers another route for connecting existing systems. This breadth is useful for venues with established workflows, though it does not remove the need to budget separately for paid add-ons.

Resos says guest data is stored on an encrypted platform, connections use SSL, and the service is GDPR-compliant. Guest and booking data can be exported to CSV on demand. Free personal support and a personal setup call are also offered, a practical benefit for venues getting their booking operations in place.

Pricing

Resos has a free tier and paid plans with higher monthly booking limits. The free plan allows 25 bookings per month, includes core features and personal support, and excludes add-ons. It is a reasonable starting point for a low-volume venue, but the cap can quickly become restrictive if bookings are a regular part of business.

Basic allows 350 bookings per month, Plus allows 750, and Unlimited removes the monthly booking cap. Each includes all core features and makes paid add-ons available. The supplied plan prices are Basic at €4,523 a month, Plus at €8,543 a month, and Unlimited at €12,563 a month, each shown with monthly billing and “-50% for 1 month.” Each plan’s paid add-ons are free for 30 days, then billed separately. The pricing note also gives a starting price of €23/mo (annual); compare the displayed terms carefully before choosing a plan.

The free tier is described as free forever. Paid plans carry a 90-day money-back guarantee. Those terms give venues a way to start without a paid commitment and a stated refund window on paid plans, while the booking caps and separate add-on billing remain central to the cost decision.

Platforms

Resos is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with an API for integrations. The combination covers mobile and browser use and offers a connection point for businesses working with existing technology.

Who it's for

Resos is best suited to restaurants and other hospitality venues that want direct online reservations alongside table planning, guest profiles, reminders, waitlists, or deposit handling. Its multi-location support may also suit operators managing more than one venue. A small business with fewer than 25 monthly bookings can start on the free tier; venues above that volume need to choose a paid quota. Resos is a weaker fit for businesses that need Google bookings in a country where Reserve with Google is unavailable, or that want add-ons included without separate charges.

Pros and cons

• Multiple booking routes: Website and social booking links or widgets, plus Google Search, Maps, and Assistant bookings, give guests several ways to reserve.
• Useful floor and guest tools: Table planning, profiles, waitlists, deposits or prepayment, and automated reminders support operations beyond taking bookings.
• Data portability: CSV export on demand gives venues a way to retrieve guest and booking data.
• Strict free-plan ceiling: The 25-booking monthly limit and unavailable add-ons make the free tier unsuitable for higher-volume venues.
• Extra cost and eligibility for Google: Reserve with Google requires a paid subscription, costs extra, and is country-dependent.
• Capacity affects plan choice: Basic and Plus have monthly quotas, so venues must weigh expected booking volume against the plan limits.

Verdict

Resos is a strong candidate for hospitality businesses that want reservations, floor planning, and guest-management tools together, especially if they expect to outgrow a small free quota and can budget for paid add-ons. Its broad booking and operational toolkit is the main reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if 25 monthly bookings is too restrictive, add-on costs undermine the fit, or Google booking availability does not cover your country.
