Frequently asked questions

No. Resy is commission-free like TableNest, but its plans run $289/mo (Platform, and Essential) or $459/mo (Platform 360, and Premium), all USD. TableNest is a flat $29 to $69 AUD per month with no per-cover fees either — a fraction of the cost for an independent or small group. Where Resy is built around the Amex discovery network for established, higher-end restaurants, TableNest is built for SMB operators who want the full toolkit without the network premium.

No — and this is worth being clear about, in Resy's own words: “Resy pricing is transparent with no per-cover fees.” It is a flat-rate subscription, the same model as TableNest. So the difference isn't commissions, it's price and breadth: Resy's entry plan is $289/mo (USD) against TableNest's $29 AUD, and TableNest folds the full operations suite (CRM, run sheet, floor plan, events, deposits, vouchers, Square POS, Xero, SMS) into that price.

Resy's main draw is its discovery network in the American Express ecosystem, which can drive covers to well-known, in-demand restaurants. If your bookings depend on that network exposure, that's a genuine reason to stay. TableNest takes the opposite stance: no network, no lock-in, your customer list stays yours and exports in full. For most independents the network adds little, while the $289–$459 a month (USD) it commands is real money.

Effectively, yes, for a venue buying it today. Resy's plans page carries the banner "Tock is now part of the Resy network", and two of its four plans are labelled "Powered by Tock" — Essential at $289/mo with a 3% fee on prepayments, and Premium at $459/mo with 2%. You cannot buy Tock as a standalone product at its old prices; exploretock.com routes "Use Tock at your business" to Resy's own sign-up. If prepaid and ticketed dining is what you came for, the TableNest vs Tock page costs that out.

TableNest covers the booking and operations side comprehensively: embeddable booking page, calendar, run sheet, floor plan, CRM, events, deposits, vouchers, SMS reminders, plus two-way Square POS and Xero on Business and Pro — most included rather than gated to an enterprise tier. What TableNest does not replicate is Resy's consumer discovery network and Amex-ecosystem placement. If that network is your acquisition channel, weigh it; if it isn't, TableNest gives you more operational software for far less.
TableNest is Australian-built and open for signup in Australia, the US and New Zealand, with pricing in each market's local currency. Support hours follow Australian time zones, so support and onboarding optimization is AU-first. Canada and the UK are not open for signup yet.
