TableNest vs Quandoo

Quandoo is winding down — new bookings stop on 1 October 2026 and the platform closes on 31 December. If you're looking for where to go next, here's how TableNest compares: flat monthly fee, no $3.50 per-cover charge, no setup, and a free customer-list migration.

TableNest isn't a diner marketplace like Quandoo's network — it runs your own bookings. The marketplace is the part Quandoo is closing.

Quandoo's $3.50 fee applied to guests who booked via its network, app or portal — not bookings through your own Quandoo widget. Quandoo's pricing page has since been taken down as it winds down; the figures above are from an archived copy of its published Australian pricing (April 2026) and Quandoo's own public closure announcement — confirm your own details with Quandoo. Deposits, gift cards and Square POS are available on TableNest's Business ($49), Pro ($69) and Pro+ ($99) plans; terminal gift-card redemption requires Square.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Quandoo has announced it is winding down across all of its markets, including Australia. Diners can keep booking through Quandoo until 30 September 2026; from 1 October 2026 restaurants can no longer take new or existing bookings through it; and the platform is removed entirely on 31 December 2026. Quandoo says confirmed reservations will be honoured and that it will help partners export their data. For an Australian venue, that means your booking flow and your customer list both stop working at the cut-off — so the practical question is which platform you move to before then.
For independent venues that want to keep their own bookings rather than rent a diner network, TableNest is a direct, lower-cost replacement: a flat monthly fee from $29 AUD with $0 setup and $0 per-cover, plus SMS confirmations, a customer CRM, an embeddable widget and a hosted booking page. It's Australian-built, month-to-month, and it imports your Quandoo customer list for you for free. The one thing it does not replace is Quandoo's diner marketplace — that discovery network is the part Quandoo is closing.
TableNest is a flat fee — $29, $49, $69 or $99/month AUD — with no setup and no per-cover charge. Quandoo's published Australian pricing was $29/month on Basic (plus $99 setup) or $149/month on Premium (plus $299 setup), and on top of either, $3.50 for every guest who booked via its network, app or portal (its pricing page has since been taken down as it winds down — figures from an archived copy). A Basic venue taking 100 network covers a month paid about $379/month before setup; the equivalent bookings through your own TableNest widget add nothing to the flat fee.
Yes. Export your customer list from Quandoo while the platform is still up — its support team is helping partners do exactly that — and TableNest imports it for you, free: names and contact details come across so you keep the regulars you built up. (We migrate the customer list, not Quandoo's internal booking history.) Start before 30 September 2026 so nothing is stranded when the platform is switched off.
No, and we won't claim it does. Quandoo's $3.50-per-guest fee bought discovery through its marketplace, app and partner network — and that marketplace is exactly what's closing. TableNest is not a diner marketplace; it runs your own bookings (widget + hosted page) at a flat fee with no per-cover charge. What you keep is full control of the bookings that come to you.

Move off Quandoo before it closes

We import your customer list for free and get you taking bookings on a platform you control — well before Quandoo's 30 September cut-off.
