Frequently asked questions
Can I still buy Tock on its own?
No. Tock is now part of the Resy network and is sold as Resy's two "Powered by Tock" plans — Essential and Premium. There is no standalone Tock plan to buy: exploretock.com sends "Use Tock at your business" to Resy's own sign-up, and Tock's former pricing page is gone. The two plans that carry it are Essential at $289/mo with 3% of prepayments, and Premium at $459/mo with 2%. If you came here for Tock's old four-tier pricing, that schedule is no longer on sale and we do not quote it.

Does Tock charge a fee on prepaid reservations?
Yes, and the move to Resy did not remove it — it is what separates the two Tock-powered plans from Resy's own plans at the same prices. Essential is $289/mo plus 3% of prepayments; Premium is $459/mo plus 2%. Standard payment-processing fees apply on top of both, per Resy's own footnote. TableNest runs deposits and prepaid with standard Stripe or Square payment processing only — no TableNest platform percentage on the prepaid amount.

Is TableNest cheaper than Tock?
For most venues, yes — and the gap is wider than it used to be, because the cheapest way to buy Tock is now $289/mo (USD) plus 3% of every prepayment, rather than the entry tier Tock sold standalone. TableNest is a flat $29 to $69 AUD per month — deposits and ticketed events come with Business and above, with no platform percentage on prepayments — so the all-in cost gap widens as your prepaid volume grows.

Can TableNest do prepaid and ticketed events like Tock?
Yes. Tock pioneered the prepaid/ticketed dining model — deposits and tickets to cut no-shows — and TableNest offers both on Business plans and above: deposits on bookings and ticketed events, charged through Stripe or Square with no TableNest platform fee on the prepaid amount, just standard processing. So you get the no-show protection Tock is known for without a platform cut on every prepaid dollar.
What does TableNest include that Tock charges more for?
TableNest bundles the full operations suite — 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 — into one flat monthly price. On the Tock-powered Resy plans there is no tier that removes the prepayment percentage: it is 3% on the lower plan and 2% on the higher one. TableNest never takes a platform cut on prepayments — deposits and ticketed events run on Business and above with standard Stripe or Square processing only.
