Get the Tableside Ordering SystemresOS Can't Provide
Considering resOS for your restaurant? Before you sign up, understand this: resOS doesn't offer tableside ordering, digital menus, or order and pay at table functionality.
resOS is a reservation-only platform. If you want customers to order from their phones at the table, you'll need a completely separate system on top of resOS. Servd gives you beautiful digital menus and reservations from £19.99/month, or add complete tableside ordering for just £39.99/month—all in one platform.
What resOS Actually Offers (And What It Doesn't)
resOS Does:
resOS Does NOT Do:
resOS handles reservations competently. But modern restaurants need more than just bookings—they need ordering capabilities that resOS simply cannot provide.

Why Reservations Alone Aren't Enough in 2025
Dining habits have changed. Today's customers expect:
Digital Menu Access
Cannot provide this.
Full digital menu system included.
Tableside Ordering
Cannot provide this.
Complete QR code ordering system.
Order and Pay at Table
Cannot provide this.
Integrated payment processing.
If you choose resOS, you're choosing to tell customers 'no' to these expectations—or you're committing to managing multiple separate systems.
The Hidden Cost of resOS
The 'Free' Plan Trap
- Limited to just 25 bookings/month
- Most restaurants outgrow this immediately
- Still no ordering features at any tier
The Real Problem: Missing Features
With resOS, you'll eventually need additional software for:
- •Digital menus (another subscription)
- •Tableside ordering (another subscription)
- •Online ordering (another subscription or delivery app commissions)
- •Kitchen display (another system)
Multiple subscriptions. Multiple logins. Multiple vendor relationships. Data scattered across platforms.
Servd: One Platform, Everything Included
One subscription. One dashboard. One team to contact for support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is resOS really free?
Only for up to 25 bookings/month. Any real restaurant will quickly need a paid plan (£29-79/month). And paid or free, resOS still can't do tableside ordering.
Does Servd have Google Reserve integration?
Google Reserve integration is coming soon to Servd. In the meantime, Servd provides direct booking through your website plus complete digital menus and ordering—capabilities resOS can never offer.
Can Servd handle the same reservation volume as resOS?
Yes. Servd's reservation system handles restaurants of all sizes with no per-booking limits on any plan.
What if I only need reservations right now?
Servd Starter at £19.99/month gives you reservations AND digital menus. That's less than resOS Basic (£29/month) with more functionality. When you're ready for tableside ordering, simply upgrade to Professional.
How quickly can I switch from resOS to Servd?
Most restaurants complete the switch in a single day. AI menu import means you don't spend hours on data entry. Our support team helps with any questions.
