No per-cover fees
A restaurant booking system with no per-cover fees

A per-cover fee is a charge for each guest booked through a reservation platform. Some platforms charge it on every booking; others only on bookings that come through their own marketplace or network. It sounds small, but on a busy service it can add up.
TableGo doesn't charge per cover and never takes a commission on your bookings. You pay a flat monthly price, so getting busier makes you more profitable instead of increasing your software bill.
Why per-cover fees can become expensive
- They scale with your covers: Where a platform charges per cover, the more diners you seat, the more you pay.
- It depends where the booking came from: Some platforms charge only for diners found through their marketplace; others charge on every booking. Check which applies to you.
- Costs can be hard to predict: With per-cover pricing, your bill changes with your covers, which makes budgeting harder.
- Marketplace guests arrive via someone else: Those diners found you through the platform's network rather than your own channels.
Why predictable monthly pricing is better for most restaurants
With flat monthly pricing, you know your software cost in advance and it doesn't punish you for a great week. Depending on your volume and the fees you pay today, a single fixed fee can work out cheaper than per-cover pricing.

Frequently asked questions
What are per-cover fees?
A per-cover fee is a charge applied for each diner booked through a reservation platform. Some systems charge this on every booking; others only on marketplace or network bookings. TableGo charges none of these.
Does TableGo really have no per-cover fees?
Yes. TableGo never charges a fee per diner and takes no commission on bookings. You pay a flat monthly price: Basic is free and Pro is £99/month per venue.
Are there any fees at all?
On the free Basic plan, a 3.5% TableGo platform fee applies to payments you collect for deposits, vouchers and events; on Pro that's 0%. Stripe's standard card processing fees apply to those payments on all plans. There are no per-cover fees and no setup fees.
Will I lose bookings without a marketplace?
It depends where your bookings come from. Guests who find you through your website, Google or social media can still book directly through TableGo. If you rely on a marketplace for new diners, those bookings stop when you leave it, so consider running both in parallel during the switch.
How do I switch from a per-cover system?
Pro includes free migration support. We can help import your guest data, then you update your website booking widget and Google Business Profile link to TableGo. A booking page can be live the same day.
