QuickTable vs Resy

A simple, commission-free Resy alternative built for independent restaurants.

The short answer

QuickTable and Resy are both restaurant reservation systems. Resy (owned by American Express) uses tiered flat-rate subscription plans of roughly $249–$899/month and runs a consumer app and marketplace where diners book and often use a Resy account. QuickTable charges a flat £50/month (about €60 / $70) with zero per-booking commission and no guest app — guests book straight from your own website or link. For independent restaurants that want simple, affordable, commission-free bookings on their own site, QuickTable is a straightforward Resy alternative, with a free Starter plan (up to 30 bookings/month) and a 30-day free trial, no card.

Is QuickTable cheaper than Resy?

For most independent restaurants, yes. QuickTable is a flat £50/month (about €60 or $70) for unlimited bookings, with a free Starter plan and a 30-day free trial. Resy's plans run roughly $249–$899/month (Basic, Pro and Enterprise). Like QuickTable, Resy doesn't charge per-cover fees — but its flat subscription is several times higher, and there's no free plan. For a small restaurant that mainly wants to take its own bookings online, QuickTable's single low flat fee is simpler and far cheaper.

Is QuickTable a good Resy alternative for independent restaurants?

Yes. QuickTable is built for independent restaurants that want simple, commission-free bookings on their own website — without a guest app, plan tiers, or lengthy setup. You get unlimited bookings on the Pro plan for a flat £50/month, a free Starter plan for up to 30 bookings per month, a 30-day free trial, and real human support by email and phone. QuickTable was named Best Restaurant Booking System 2026 at the UK Enterprise Awards.

Do guests need the Resy app to book?

With QuickTable, no — guests book directly through your own website or a simple booking link, with no app download and no account to create. Resy bookings are commonly made through the Resy app or website, where diners often sign in with a Resy account. Keeping the booking on your own site means the guest relationship — and the data — stays with your restaurant rather than a third-party marketplace.

Which should you choose?

Choose Resy if being listed in its diner app and reaching Resy's audience (often trend-driven, urban venues) is a priority for you. Choose QuickTable if you want simple, commission-free bookings on your own website, predictable flat pricing, no guest app, quick self-setup, and real human support. For most independent restaurants that mainly want to take their own bookings online, QuickTable is the simpler, more affordable choice.
