Tables · €49 a month
An OpenTable alternative for Irish restaurants, pubs and cafés
OpenTable is the largest restaurant booking network. Diners search its website and app for a table, and restaurants pay a monthly fee plus a fee for each diner the network sends them.
GetSeated is booking software with one flat price: €49 a month, with no commission and no per-cover fee. Guests book on your own website, your Google profile and your social pages, and the customer list stays yours.

When OpenTable is the better choice
- You depend on OpenTable's own app and website to send you diners who have never heard of you, such as visitors in a city centre.
- You need a floor plan with table-by-table seating, or links to your till system.
- You take deposits or card details for every booking.
When GetSeated is
- Your guests mostly find you directly: on Google, on your own website, on social media or by word of mouth.
- You want to know what you will pay each month, whatever kind of month it is.
- You want the customer list to be yours, to download whenever you like.
- You want reminders that ask "Still coming?" and free the table when the answer is no.
What GetSeated leaves out: it is not a marketplace, it doesn't take deposits or card payments, and it has no floor plan or till integration. See everything it does →
How switching works
- Tell us your opening hours and how many you seat, and we set the account up with you.
- Swap the OpenTable link or widget on your website, your Google Business Profile and your social pages for your GetSeated one.
- Add the bookings you already hold as phone bookings, so everything is in one diary.
There is no contract with GetSeated, so if it doesn't suit you can stop any month. Check the notice period on your current agreement before you cancel it.
