Why Your Restaurant NeedsMore Than Just Reservations
Looking for a digital menu system that goes beyond basic bookings? While EasyTable offers an affordable reservation solution, today's restaurants need comprehensive tableside ordering capabilities to meet guest expectations and streamline operations.
EasyTable charges €67/month (~£57) for reservations only. Servd gives you reservations PLUS tableside ordering, digital menus, kitchen display, and complete order management from £19.99/month.

EasyTable is fundamentally a reservation system—not a complete restaurant management platform. It lacks tableside ordering, order and pay at table functionality, kitchen display integration, delivery management, and comprehensive emenu features that modern restaurants require.

Reservations vs Complete Operations
Understanding what each platform actually solves:
What EasyTable Answers:
"How do I manage table bookings?"
What Servd Answers:
"How do I run a modern, efficient restaurant?"
The EasyTable Limitation
With EasyTable, guests can book a table—but once they arrive, you're back to traditional operations. Taking orders manually. Running bills to tables. Managing delivery through separate systems. Your restaurant tablet ordering dreams remain unfulfilled.
The Servd Advantage
With Servd, the guest journey is seamless from booking to payment:
Book a table
Through your Servd-powered reservation system
Scan the QR code
At their table to view your digital menu system
Order directly
Through the tableside ordering system
Track their order
As it moves through your kitchen
Pay at the table
Without waiting for staff
Meanwhile, your kitchen receives orders instantly on the display system, staff manage everything from one dashboard, and you have complete visibility into operations.

Common Questions
Yes. Servd provides complete reservation management including online booking, floor plans, table management, guest profiles, waitlists, and automated reminders. You get all the core reservation features you need, plus the ordering capabilities EasyTable doesn't offer.
That's fine—but consider that you're paying more (€67 vs £19.99) for less functionality. Even if you only use Servd's Starter plan for reservations and digital menus, you're saving £450+/year while gaining beautiful emenu capabilities EasyTable can't provide.
Yes. Servd offers AI-powered menu translation in 10+ languages, including RTL support for Arabic and Hebrew. Our reservation system works globally, and the interface supports multiple languages for both staff and customers.
Initial setup is comparable (both take about 20-30 minutes), but Servd gives you more to set up because you're getting a complete platform. The difference is that once configured, Servd handles reservations AND ordering, while EasyTable only manages bookings.
No. Servd's interface is intuitive and designed for restaurant staff, not IT professionals. Most teams are fully comfortable with the system within a few shifts. We provide training resources, and our support team is always available if needed.
You'll need to rebuild your guest database in Servd, which happens naturally as customers make new bookings. Most restaurants find this a good opportunity to start fresh with better data capture. Within a few weeks, you'll have an active guest database in Servd.
Absolutely. Servd offers a free trial so you can test all features—reservations, tableside ordering, digital menus, kitchen display—before making a decision. No credit card required to start.
The Bottom Line
EasyTable is a fine reservation system—but it's just that: a reservation system. In 2026, guests expect to scan, browse, order, and pay from their phones. They expect restaurant menu tablets or QR-powered emenu experiences. They expect modern hospitality.
Servd delivers the complete platform to meet those expectations—at a lower price than EasyTable charges for reservations alone.
