Take restaurant bookings directly — no per-cover fees, no commission
EatApp's reservation system lets customers book directly through your website. No OpenTable, no Quandoo, no per-diner fees. Every booking goes straight to you — and every customer's details go straight into your database. Stop paying commissions on bookings that come from your own customers.
Direct Reservations You Actually Own
Customers book directly from your website. No per-cover fees. Complete control. Real customer data that belongs to you.
Third-Party Booking Platforms Cost You Twice
Per-Cover Fees Add Up
$1–$2 per cover on platforms like OpenTable. On a 100-cover Friday, that's $100–$200 you don't keep.
They Own the Relationship
Customer data lives on their platform. You can't email, message, or market directly to repeat diners.
No Website Integration
Bookings happen in a separate platform. Your website doesn't benefit from the traffic or data.
