Every plan charges 0% TableSpark commission. Stripe’s standard card-processing fees apply to online payments.

No. iWhat TableSpark is
One platform. One login. Your domain.
Most independent restaurants run their web presence as a pile of rented parts: a template site from one company, a booking widget from another, an ordering app that keeps a share of every sale, a loyalty card from a fourth, and a spreadsheet for the rota. Each one has its own login, its own invoice and its own idea of who the guest is.
TableSpark replaces the pile with one product. The menu is structured data, so the website, the QR card, the ordering page and the search engines all read the same dishes. Bookings know the real tables. The service floor knows the bookings. Orders settle into your own Stripe account. Guests get an app on your site, under your name, and every record they create belongs to your restaurant account.

Six things a restaurant runs on TableSpark, as they look.

Bookings · New booking
Floor plan
Bookings with real tables
A booking knows which table it is.
Live availability is computed from the tables you actually have, in the rooms you actually run. Take a phone booking, pick the table on a mini floor plan, hold a deposit, and let the reminder go out by itself. Enquiry or instant confirmation is your choice, per service.
Table inventory, floor plans, rooms and table assignment
Guests order from your menu on your site: collection, delivery, or dine-in through a printed table QR. A buffet service runs per head with time limits and round caps. Every ticket lands on Orders and, if you like, on a kitchen printer. Stripe’s standard card-processing fees apply to online payments; TableSpark takes nothing.
Collection, delivery and table QR ordering
Buffet mode with tiers, time limits and round caps
Growth and Full ship with an app your guests keep.
At /account on your own domain, a guest sees their next visit, points and rewards, a QR member card, past orders and gift balance. You style every section from the Builder, choose layouts, rename tabs and switch on campaign recipes such as double-points evenings or a welcome bonus.
The AI scan reads a printed menu, in one language or two, and drafts sections, dishes, prices and descriptions for review. From then on the menu is data: edit a price once and the website, the QR card, the ordering page and the search engines all agree.
Bilingual AI menu scan with a review step
Dietary tags, allergens, spice levels and photos per dish
Every booking, order and sign-up builds a profile under your restaurant account: visits, no-shows, tags, notes and a timeline. Segment regulars and VIPs, collect verified reviews after a visit, and draft a campaign with AI to a consented audience, sent from your own domain.

No. ivSearch readiness
A live link is not the same as being found.
A website can be live at a working web address and still not be indexed. A misconfigured robots or noindex directive, conflicting canonicals, orphaned pages, rendering problems, missing structured restaurant data or an incomplete search verification can leave the pages that matter undiscovered, excluded or misunderstood.
The cost lands on the restaurant. Guests searching the name, the menu, the cuisine or the street reach a directory, a commission-charging marketplace or a competing restaurant first, and the restaurant keeps paying for discovery it should own.
Putting a page online is not the same as delivering a site that search engines can reliably discover and understand. TableSpark packages that work into every plan instead of leaving you to hire a technician and assemble it. Nobody can honestly promise a ranking or an index entry, and we do not; we do ship the configuration that gives a restaurant a fair chance.

No. vWhat we believe
Six commitments that shape every decision.
From the pricing model to the copy on this page.
i
Your guests are yours
Every booking, order, review and sign-up is recorded under your restaurant account, visible in your Inbox and guest list, and exportable as CSV whenever you like.
ii
A full Saturday costs what a quiet Tuesday costs
Flat monthly plans and 0% TableSpark commission on bookings and orders. Growth is yours to keep.
iii
The menu is the website
Not a PDF, not a text box. Dishes are data, so the menu, the QR card, the ordering page and search engines all read the same thing.
iv
Search-ready is part of the site
Structured restaurant data, canonical URLs, sitemaps, robots controls and search verification ship with every plan, because a live link is not the same as being found.
v
Advice, never defaults
TableSpark suggests. You set every offer, threshold, deposit and budget. Nothing gives away your margin unless you decide it should.
vi
Honest pricing, honest copy
Prices are on the pricing page in plain numbers. No calls with sales, no surprise renewals, no add-ons hidden behind a promotional price.
No. viHow we work
Built between services.
Recorded, not described
Every guide in the Tutorial is a course captured click by click on a real restaurant’s account, so what you read is what you will see.
Private by design
Each restaurant’s data is isolated under its own account. Staff see only what their role needs. A UK GDPR consent kit, privacy pages and one-click erasure come with every site.
Shipped every week
The product moves quickly and the Journal says what changed. A restaurant that signs up today gets the improvements of next month without a migration.
Measured first-party
Visits, actions, sources, settled sales and the bookings funnel are read from your own site, not a third-party pixel, and shown in plain numbers.
June 2026Custom domains with managed SSL, connected with one record.
July 2026Plans and billing, the Journal, and a sitemap plus search ping for every published site.
August 2026The live service floor, staff rota and hours, the guest portal, editable guest emails and the new homepage.
September 2026The Guest App with layouts and campaigns, buffet mode, eighteen recorded tutorial courses and a browser-tab icon for every restaurant.
No. viiPricing in plain numbers
Three plans. No commission.
Starter
£19/ month
The website, the live menu, the QR menu and managed search readiness.
Every plan is free until you publish. 0% TableSpark commission on bookings and orders; Stripe’s standard card-processing fees apply to online payments. Full comparison on the pricing page.
No. viiiThe company
Built in the UK, for UK restaurants first.
TableSpark Ltd is a UK company registered in England and Wales. We are small on purpose: the people who build the product answer the email, read every booking-inbox question, and eat in the restaurants that use it. There is no sales team to book a call with, because the prices are on the pricing page and the product is free to try until the day you publish.
If you write about restaurants, the brand page has logos, colours and wordmarks you can use. If you run a restaurant and something on this site is unclear, tell us; the copy improves when you do.
No. ixSix quick answers
Is TableSpark really the best-value choice for a small independent restaurant?
We think so, and the pricing page shows the arithmetic. One flat plan from £19 a month covers the website, the live menu and managed search readiness. Growth adds direct bookings with real tables, deposits, reminders and the Guest App, and Full adds online ordering, all at 0% TableSpark commission. Stripe’s standard card-processing fees apply to online payments.
Who owns the guest data?
Your restaurant does. Every booking, order, review and sign-up sits under your restaurant account, is visible in your Inbox and guest list, and exports as CSV at any time.
Do I need a designer or a developer?
No. Photograph your paper menu and TableSpark drafts the whole site, or start from one of fifty finished templates. Every step is recorded as a course in the Tutorial.
What does “search-ready” mean here?
A live web address is not the same as being indexed. Every TableSpark site ships with structured restaurant data, titles and descriptions, canonical URLs, sitemaps, robots controls, internal links and managed search-verification setup. Nobody can honestly promise a ranking or an index entry, and we do not.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Growth and Full support a domain you already own, connected with one record and managed SSL, or you can buy a domain inside TableSpark and watch it connect itself.
