Reservations WithoutYelp's Per-Cover Fees
Yelp Guest Manager charges you for every diner who walks through your door. But reservations shouldn't cost you money—they should make you money.
Yelp charges $249-$499/month PLUS $1-2 per cover from Yelp network bookings. With 300 Yelp covers monthly, you're paying $549-$1,099/month. Servd offers full reservations from £19.99/month with zero per-cover fees.
