Audience
Independent restaurant operators (1-5 locations) seeking flat-fee reservation, table management, and waitlist software without per-cover charges or annual contracts. Good fit for full-service, fine dining, bars/wine bars, cafes, and brunch spots.
About TableLink
TableLink is reservation, waitlist and floor plan software for independent restaurants and small groups. One flat monthly price. No per-cover fees, no booking commissions, no contracts.
The platform includes a real time floor plan with table joins, a branded online booking page, an iPad kiosk for waitlist and check in, SMS and email confirmations (US and Canada), and a guest CRM with visit history and reliability scores. Restaurant groups get a multi location dashboard, and staff sign in with their own PIN.
New: guest deposits and card on file holds on Pro plans and above, with rules by party size, day of week, holidays and date range. A host can waive a deposit and note why. Local Team Sync keeps a restaurant's iPads and phones synced, so the floor keeps working if the internet drops.
Apps for iPad and iPhone, plus the web. Plans start at $10 a month billed annually, or $13 month to month, with a 14 day free trial. Card required, nothing charged during the trial.

Chezlist
Chezlist is a waitlist and reservations CMS for restaurants. Guests scan a QR code at the host stand — or tap a link — to join the waitlist from their phone with no app to download, and get an SMS when their table is ready. Staff run the queue from any phone or tablet: add walk-ins, track quoted vs. actual wait times, and seat parties in order. Owners use a web dashboard to provision locations, issue staff passkeys, and brand the guest-facing waitlist page with their own logo.
Two tiers: Core is free and covers the core waitlist; Pro adds SMS notifications and lets a restaurant serve its waitlist page from its own subdomain. It targets independent restaurants and small multi-location groups that want an OpenTable-style guest experience without per-cover reservation fees or high monthly fees.

Simple Host
Simple Host is restaurant front of house software built by restaurant owners who got tired of running the floor with a paper list and a per cover contract. The app pulls together the tools the host stand actually uses every shift: an online waitlist with QR code joining, online reservations through an embeddable website widget, a drag and drop floor plan with custom table shapes and rooms, automatic fair server rotation, two way SMS with guests, in app chat between devices, a digital guestbook that builds itself in the background, and a statistics dashboard for peak hours and turn times.
Pricing is flat monthly with no per cover fees, no contracts, and no proprietary hardware. Restaurants bring their own iPads, iPhones, Androids, or PCs and connect unlimited devices on every plan. Setup runs about five minutes and most teams are live the same day. Plans start at $49.99 a month with a 7 day free trial, no credit card required. Currently used by 1,000+ restaurants.
