## Key facts
- Flat monthly pricing in AUD (Australia), USD (United States) and CAD (Canada). No per-booking commissions, no per-cover fees, no per-channel fees, no per-staff seat charges, no contracts. Australian prices include GST; US and Canadian prices are exclusive of sales tax (handled via Stripe Tax).
- The suite includes: bookings page, calendar, run sheet, customer CRM, ticketed events, private functions, calendar blockouts, deposits on Stripe or Square, branded gift cards that scan and auto-deduct at the Square terminal (Business tier and above), booking and covers reports with period-over-period comparisons (Business tier and above), two-way Square POS sync, Xero invoicing, public REST API, embeddable booking widget, and SMS messaging (confirmations + reminders).
- SMS messages bundled into the monthly plan — Australia: 120 (Starter) / 240 (Business) / 400 (Pro) / 800 (Pro+). United States & Canada: 240 (Starter) / 720 (Business) / 1200 (Pro) / 2400 (Pro+). Every TableNest SMS — booking confirmations, 24h reminders, 2h reminders — counts toward this allowance. Email-only bookings are unlimited on every plan and never count. As a rough mapping: with 24h reminders enabled, each booking sends 2 SMS (so AU Business 240 ≈ 120 bookings; US/CA Business 720 ≈ 360 bookings); with both 24h + 2h reminders, each booking sends 3 SMS.
- Per-SMS overage rates (when the monthly bundle runs out) — Australia: Starter 10¢ / Business 10¢ / Pro 10¢ / Pro+ 10¢. United States & Canada: Starter 5¢ / Business 4¢ / Pro 3¢ / Pro+ 2¢.
- Auto-overage Mode A (Australia, United States, Canada): on by default for Pro+ ("set-and-forget SMS" — overage auto-billed on the next invoice, no manual intervention). Optional opt-in for Starter, Business and Pro via the in-app settings toggle (off by default).
- SMS top-up packs in three sizes (Australia, United States, Canada) — Australia: $5 / $10 / $20 (the same SMS quantity credited on every plan); United States & Canada: $3 / $6 / $12 (SMS quantity credited scales with your plan).
- Visual floor plan editor + runtime view — live on the Pro tier and above. Drag-to-seat, colour-coded turn timing, area-aware capacity warnings.
- Live multi-device sync on the floor plan (iPad + phone + desktop, real-time) — Pro tier and above.
- Smart Seating solver + table combinations + variable turn times by party size + waitlist auto-notify — Pro+ only.
- Marketing email template editing — Pro+ only. A venue can rewrite the subject line, intro copy and call-to-action of the birthday, anniversary and lapsed-guest marketing emails. Not transactional email — booking confirmations, reminders and cancellations are not editable — and there is no SMS template customisation on any tier.
- Availability: live in Australia, the United States and New Zealand. Launching in Canada and the United Kingdom — register interest at https://tablenest.app/early-access.
- 30-day free trial with no card required at signup. A venue can create an account, configure its floor and hours, and take manual bookings without entering payment details. A card is needed to switch the outside world on — serving the public booking widget, sending SMS or email to diners, and taking deposits or gift-card payments — and to keep using the dashboard past day 30.
- Operator: Fyrge Lab Pty Ltd (ACN 696 775 096), Australia.
