OpenTable books tables well and puts you on a busy marketplace. But there is a monthly fee, a per-cover commission on seated diners, and your guest relationship increasingly belongs to the platform — and it still is not your website, ordering or books. Mewayz takes reservations on your own site with no cover fee, and the ordering, site and full back office come with it.
On top of the monthly subscription, seated diners carry a per-cover charge — and marketplace bookings cost more — so a full house quietly costs you more each service.
Reservations flow through the OpenTable app and network, so the diner relationship, the reviews and the data sit with the platform rather than with you.
No customer website, no online ordering, no CRM or accounting. You still buy and stitch those together somewhere else.
OpenTable fills the book. Mewayz fills the book and runs the business around it — with the guest data staying yours. Here is the same restaurant, priced two ways.
