Best Restaurant Reservation Software in 2026

Managing reservations means keeping guest bookings, tables, and waiting lists in view. Compare booking channels and table and waitlist management to understand how each option handles reservations, then weigh automated reminders and deposits or prepayment against your process. Anolla, Favouritetable, and Resos are among the options to consider. Included locations and multi-location support can help you assess fit across your sites; check free-plan availability and paid-from pricing as well. The right comparison depends on which booking tasks and location needs matter to your restaurant.
