Why restaurants switch from ResOS

Common frustrations

No native email/SMS marketing engine.
Limited automations and guest lifecycle features.
No first-class events/ticketing product.
Reporting is basic once you scale.

How Reserved solves them

Marketing (email + SMS), segmentation and lifecycle flows built in.
Automations for pre-service, no-shows and win-backs.
Ticketed events and prepaid experiences native to the platform.
Analytics that scale from one site to twenty.

Pricing

Reserved: Flat monthly. Core on Solo (£89), full stack on Restaurant (£199).
ResOS: £65–£150/mo depending on covers, plus third-party marketing tools. Competitor pricing last verified July 2026.

Who should choose each

Choose Reserved if: Operators who love ResOS's UX but need CRM depth, marketing and events without stitching third-party tools.
Choose ResOS if: Single-site venues that only need a diary and nothing else.
