For Quandoo restaurants

Quandoo is closing on 31 December. Your customer list shouldn't close with it.

Quandoo is winding down — new bookings stop on 1 October 2026 and the platform is switched off entirely on 31 December. The bookings you take through it, and the customers sitting inside it, go with it. TableNest gives you a soft landing: we move your customer list across for free and get you taking bookings on a platform you control — flat fee, no per-cover charge, no setup.

The Quandoo timeline

This isn't a contract you give notice on — it's a fixed shutdown that's the same for every venue. These are Quandoo's own published dates.

  1. 30 September 2026 — last day for new bookings. Diners can keep finding and booking venues through Quandoo up to this date.
  2. 1 October 2026 — bookings stop. From this day, restaurants can no longer take new or existing bookings through Quandoo. This is the date your booking flow needs to already live somewhere else.
  3. 31 December 2026 — platform removed.Quandoo's website, app and infrastructure are taken down. Anything still only inside Quandoo — including your customer list — goes with it.

What's actually closing — and what you keep

Quandoo did two different jobs. Being clear about which one is going away matters, because it's the part you were paying the most for.

What's closing

Quandoo's marketplace— the website, app and partner network that put your venue in front of new diners, charged at $3.50 a guest. That rented audience is what's being switched off. We can't replace it, and we won't claim to: TableNest is not a diner marketplace and doesn't send you new customers.

What you keep

Full control of your own bookings. TableNest gives you an embeddable widget for your website and a hosted booking page you can share anywhere — so the diners who come to you book directly, with SMS confirmations and your customer list all in one place. A flat fee, and every cover is yours.

A flat fee instead of a fee that grows with every cover

The single biggest difference isn't the headline price — it's that Quandoo charged a setup fee and then $3.50 for every guest booked through its network. TableNest doesn't. No setup, no per-cover, ever.

A worked example

A venue on Quandoo Basic taking 100 network covers a month pays about $29 + (100 × $3.50) = $379/month, plus the one-time $99 setup. On TableNest, your bookings come through your own widget and hosted page — so the same month costs a flat $29–$99 AUDwith nothing added per cover. Even our entry plan matches Quandoo Basic's $29 headline, without the setup fee or the per-guest bleed.

The $3.50 fee applied to guests who booked via Quandoo's network, app or portal — not bookings through your own Quandoo widget. It's the network covers that drove the cost, and the network is the part closing. Source: Quandoo's published AU pricing (archived).

You don't just replace Quandoo — you gain on it

Moving off a closing platform is a good moment to pick up the tools that protect your covers and your cash flow. From the $49 AUD Business plan, TableNest adds two things Quandoo never gave you — on the payment system you already use.

Deposits that cut no-shows

Take a booking deposit on the rail you already run — Stripe or Square— to hold large tables, peak nights and events. Set your own amount and refund policy; no-shows stop costing you covers. Included from $49 Business.

Gift cards that redeem at your till

Sell branded gift cards online; on Square, the customer's emailed QR scans straight at your Square terminal and auto-deducts — no manual lookup, no double-entry. Most booking platforms charge extra for this; TableNest includes it from $49 Business.

Deposits and gift cards (and the Square POS connection) are available on the Business ($49), Pro ($69) and Pro+ ($99) plans. Terminal gift-card redemption requires Square.

How the move works

  1. 1. Tell us about your venue. One short form below — your venue, your covers, and when you want to be live.
  2. 2. We import your customer list, free.Your customers' names and contact details come across to TableNest so you keep the regulars you earned. Export your list from Quandoo while the platform's still up — its team is helping partners do exactly that.
  3. 3. Go live with no gap.We help you put your booking widget on your site and share your hosted page. You're taking bookings on a platform you control — well before Quandoo switches off.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Quandoo has announced it is winding down across all of its markets, including Australia. Diners can keep searching and booking through Quandoo until 30 September 2026; from 1 October 2026 restaurants can no longer take new or existing bookings through the platform; and Quandoo's website, app and infrastructure are removed entirely on 31 December 2026. Quandoo says confirmed reservations will still be honoured and that its team will help partners export their data before the shutdown. The closure is Quandoo's own published announcement — we're not interpreting it. The practical takeaway for a venue: your booking flow and the customer list living inside Quandoo both stop working, so the safe move is to get your customers onto a platform you control before the cut-off.
Only if you leave them inside a platform that's being switched off. The list of customers you've built up is yours, and TableNest will import it for you, free, before Quandoo's cut-off — names and contact details come across so you can keep reaching the regulars you earned. (We move the customer list, not Quandoo's internal booking history.) The earlier you start, the more breathing room you have before 30 September.
No — and we won't pretend otherwise. Quandoo's $3.50-per-guest fee bought discovery through its marketplace, app and partner network, and that marketplace is exactly the part shutting down. TableNest is not a diner marketplace: it runs your own bookings — an embeddable widget on your site plus a hosted booking page you can share — at a flat monthly fee with no per-cover charge. What you keep is full control of the bookings that come to you; what closes is the rented audience. And discovery itself has shifted: more and more, diners find and vet restaurants on Google Maps and Google reviews — your own Google listing, which costs you nothing — rather than through a booking marketplace. That's the deliberate choice behind TableNest: run your own bookings properly and let Google do the finding it already does, instead of paying a per-cover fee for it.
TableNest is a flat monthly fee with $0 setup and $0 per-cover: $29, $49, $69 or $99/month in AUD depending on the features you need. Quandoo's published Australian pricing was $29/month on Basic (plus a $99 one-time setup) or $149/month on Premium (plus $299 setup), and on top of that a $3.50 fee for every guest who booked through its network, app or portal (its pricing page has since been taken down as it winds down — figures from an archived copy). A venue on Basic taking 100 network covers a month paid roughly $29 + $350 = $380/month before setup. On TableNest those same bookings, taken through your own widget, add nothing — the fee never moves with your covers.
Yes, from the $49 Business plan up. You can take booking deposits to cut no-shows on either payment rail — connect Stripe or Square, whichever you already use. And on Square, gift cards you sell online register as real Square gift cards: the customer's emailed QR scans straight at your Square terminal and auto-deducts, with no manual lookup. These payment features (and the Square POS connection) start at Business ($49); the $29 Starter plan covers SMS-confirmed bookings and your customer CRM.
Usually a single setup session. You tell us about your venue, we import your customer list and help you get your booking widget live, and you keep taking bookings with no gap. Because Quandoo is winding down on a fixed public timeline rather than a contract you have to give notice on, there's nothing to cancel — you just need to be live somewhere else before 30 September 2026.
