Complete Tableside Orderingat a Fraction of the Price
ResDiary is one of the UK's established restaurant booking systems, trusted by chains like TGI Fridays and Turtle Bay. But here's what their sales team won't emphasise: ResDiary doesn't offer tableside ordering, digital menus, or order and pay at table functionality.
ResDiary charges £99-269/month for reservation management alone. For any ordering capabilities, you need separate systems. Servd gives you digital menus and reservations from £19.99/month, or complete tableside ordering for £39.99/month—saving you hundreds every month while delivering features ResDiary can't match.

What ResDiary Does Well
What ResDiary Cannot Do
ResDiary built their entire platform around reservations. That's valuable—but it's only half of what modern restaurants need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Servd reliable enough to replace ResDiary?
Yes. Servd is built on modern, robust infrastructure. The difference is Servd focuses on giving restaurants complete tools affordably, rather than charging enterprise prices for reservation-only software.
What about ResDiary's DesignMyNight integration?
DesignMyNight helps with discovery in UK cities. It's useful but not essential—most diners find restaurants through Google, social media, and word of mouth. The discovery value doesn't justify £99-269/month when the platform lacks ordering features.
Can Servd handle high-volume reservations?
Yes. Servd's reservation system has no artificial booking limits. Whether you take 100 or 1,000 reservations monthly, pricing stays the same.
Does Servd have the same integrations as ResDiary?
Servd provides its own ordering and kitchen display system, reducing the need for external integrations. For payment processing, Servd integrates with Stripe. Contact our team to discuss specific integration needs.
How much will I actually save?
Compared to ResDiary Express (£99/mo), you save £708.12 annually. Compared to ResDiary Ultimate (£269/mo), you save £2,748.12 annually. Plus you get tableside ordering features ResDiary simply cannot provide.
Your Restaurant DeservesComplete Tools
ResDiary serves the enterprise market with enterprise pricing. But unless you're a 50-location chain, you're overpaying for features you don't need while missing features you do.
Servd was built for restaurants that want everything—digital menus, reservations, tableside ordering, online ordering—without the enterprise price tag.
