Get Tableside Ordering ThatOpenTable Can't Provide
Here's what OpenTable doesn't want you to realise: they don't offer tableside ordering, digital menus, or order and pay at table functionality—at any price.
OpenTable charges £149-499/month plus £2+ commission per diner, and all you get is reservations. Servd gives you complete tableside ordering AND reservations from £19.99/month with zero commissions.
OpenTable's Expensive Limitation
What OpenTable Actually Offers
What OpenTable Does NOT Offer
If you want any ordering functionality with OpenTable, you need to purchase and manage an entirely separate system on top of your expensive OpenTable subscription.

Plus Commission on Every Booking
Real-World Annual Cost
For a restaurant with 500 covers/month through OpenTable
Over £15,000 per year—for a platform with zero tableside ordering capabilities. And you'd STILL need another system for digital menus and ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Servd really replace OpenTable for reservations?
Yes. Servd provides complete reservation management—online booking widget, floor plans, guest details, confirmations, the works. You lose access to OpenTable's marketplace, but you gain tableside ordering, digital menus, and massive cost savings. Most restaurants find direct bookings replace network bookings quickly.
How much will I really save switching to Servd?
A typical restaurant on OpenTable Core with 500 monthly covers pays ~£15,588/year. Servd Professional is £479.88/year (or £399.99 with annual billing). That's over £15,000 in annual savings.
Will I lose customers if I leave OpenTable?
Loyal customers book with YOUR restaurant, not with OpenTable. Make reservations easy through your website, Google, and social media. Customers want to eat at your restaurant—they'll book however is convenient.
Does Servd integrate with my POS?
Servd provides its own order management and kitchen display system. For most restaurants, this replaces the need for complex POS integrations. Contact our team to discuss your specific setup.
What if I just need reservations without ordering?
Servd Starter at £19.99/month gives you digital menus and full reservations. That's still 87% cheaper than OpenTable Basic—and you get beautiful digital menus OpenTable can't provide.
Your RestaurantDeserves Better
OpenTable built their business on restaurant commissions. They profit when you get bookings—but they don't help you serve those customers with modern ordering technology.
Servd was built to give restaurants complete tools at fair prices. Tableside ordering. Digital menus. Online ordering. Reservations. All in one platform.
Every month on OpenTable is thousands lost to commissions and missing features. Make the switch today.
