Take ten bookings a night or two hundred: the price does not move.
Allvio is a restaurant reservation system with no commission and no per-cover fees, included in one flat monthly price alongside your POS, online ordering and payroll.
Guests book from your website, your Instagram, your Google profile or your booking link. The booking lands in a live floor plan, not a separate app: your team sees covers against tables, sessions and pacing in the same system that runs the till. When the guest walks in, their history walks in with them, because the diary, the POS and the customer list are one thing, not three.
Online bookings from your own website and socials, with your branding, on your domain
A live floor plan with sessions, pacing and table management your front of house actually uses
Automatic confirmations and reminders by SMS and email that cut no-shows without you chasing
Waitlists that backfill cancellations instead of leaving Saturday tables empty
Deposits and card-capture on the bookings that need protecting: groups, functions, peak nights
Most booking platforms charge you for your own popularity: a fee per cover, a commission per booking, or both. The busier you get, the more you pay. Allvio charges neither. Reservations are part of the flat monthly price, so a fully booked December costs the same as a quiet Tuesday in July.
Here is what that means over a month for a venue seating 1,000 covers through its diary:
Per-cover pricing punishes exactly the thing you are trying to achieve: a full room. Flat pricing does not. Run the numbers on your own covers before you sign anything, ours included.
On marketplace booking platforms, the diner is often the platform's customer: their email, their history, their loyalty, held one login away from you. When a platform changes its pricing, or closes, that relationship walks out with it. Australia is watching that happen right now.
On Allvio, every booking builds your own guest database: visit history, spend, dietary notes, no-show flags. You can export it any time, because it is yours. That is not a feature. It is how it should have worked all along.
No-shows are not solved by hoping. They are solved by three boring, effective tools working together: reminders that reach the guest the day before, deposits or card-capture on high-risk bookings, and a waitlist that fills the gap within minutes when someone does drop. All three are built in, and your no-show policy is yours to set, table by table and night by night.
If you are on Quandoo, the clock is real: the platform stops taking bookings on 30 September 2026 and access disappears after that. Our step-by-step Quandoo migration guide covers the exports to run this week. Moving from any platform, the process is the same and the onboarding team does the heavy lifting with you:
Export your upcoming bookings and guest list from your current platform. We will tell you exactly which files.
We import them: diary, guests, notes. Nothing gets retyped.
Set your floor plan, sessions and pacing together on a short call.
Swap the booking links on your website, Google profile and socials.
Run the old diary alongside for a few days as a safety net, then switch it off.
Most venues are live within a week. And if you are comparing platforms first, read our honest write-ups: Allvio vs OpenTable, Allvio vs ResDiary and Allvio vs SevenRooms. They say plainly where each platform is strong, because you will find out anyway.
Export your diary this week, and we will have your bookings live on Allvio before the shutdown, with zero per-cover fees from day one.
A diary alone tells you who is coming. A diary inside your venue system tells you what to do about it: tonight's covers feed the kitchen and the POS, tomorrow's bookings shape the roster and the payroll, and every guest builds the CRM your marketing runs on. That is the point of one system: the bookings stop being a silo and start being a signal. See everything included in the one price.
