Saturday-brunch math

The per-cover model rewards directory apps for sending you regulars

Per-cover fees on a 200-cover Saturday are $400-600. That's what directory apps charge to send you customers you already had. TableNest is $29 a month flat. No commission, regardless of how many covers you do. A weekend cafe doing 1,200 covers a month saves roughly $3,600 a month switching off per-cover fees.
