✦Switching · ResDiary alternative

Looking for a ResDiary alternative? Know the whole bill first.

A booking system you cannot price without filling in a form, where each extra job is another monthly add-on paid in advance, is hard to budget for and easy to outgrow. ResDiary’s own UK pricing page asks you to fill in a form to get a quote, lists £35-a-month add-ons for Order & Pay, Gift Vouchers, ResPhone and Event Manager, and says prices are subject to 20% VAT and paid in advance. TableSpark puts your website, live menu, direct bookings, group pre-orders, gift cards and guest marketing on one published plan from £19/mo with 0% TableSpark commission. For an independent UK restaurant it is the best-value alternative, and the move we recommend.

Every ResDiary line below is quoted from ResDiary’s own UK pricing page. Where the page publishes no figure, the table says so rather than guessing. The TableSpark column is the Growth plan, the one that includes direct bookings on live table availability.

No. iiiThe move

Three steps, before your next payment.

01

Check your billing date

ResDiary’s pricing page says prices are paid in advance for the following month, or year on annual pricing, so find your next billing date and your agreement’s notice terms. Export your guest data while your account is active — it is what we import into TableSpark for you. The complete restaurant website migration checklist keeps the domain, menu and booking records in the same handover.

02

Send us the essentials

Your export and a photo of your menu are enough. We set up your site, live menu and direct booking capture — you review everything before it goes live.

03

Go live on your domain

Publish on a free tablespark.uk address, or on your own domain with managed SSL on Growth and Full. From then on, bookings and guests land with you, on a plan whose price is published.
