TableAgent - You Get What You Pay For

BookingNinja offers a compelling alternative to Table Agent with hundreds of features designed for the modern restaurant. TableAgent claims to be 100% free, but unless our math is completely wrong, Free + $29 for taking payments + $20 for sending SMS credits suddenly doesn't add up to free. Even if you were to use the free features of TableAgent, you'll quickly find that you get what you pay for. 

TableAgent is a dated platform that offers the bare simplest requirements for a venue. BookingNinja has been designed to have every feature your business could need, and we have every feature TableAgent has plus tons more. Never hit a road block on setting up sessions and events how you want.

BookingNinja's Feature Rich Platform

If your a business that requires more advanced payment control then you'll be able to make use of BookingNinja's advance deposit types. You can charge per guest type (for example adult or child tickets), or you can charge a percentage - or mix and match. Want to set a booking fee you get to keep 100% off? Not a problem! Or maybe you want to be able to offer discount codes to special VIPs? BookingNinja has you covered. 

Frankly we could go on (gift cards, hosted site, embeddable widget, table chains, event management, email marketing tools...)... and on (custom design choices, sync with Google Sheets, printable exports, SMS reminders)... you get the picture.

When you sign up to a BookingNinja account you open up over 200 configuration options that enable you to build out your booking platform exactly how you want it - or why not get one of our team to do the leg work for you and get you completely setup. 

With TableAgent your limited to email support - where as BookingNinja offers LiveChat support so you can get responses to your questions within seconds, not hours & days. 

The Reviews Speak For Themselves

98% of BookingNinja customers rate us 5/5 on Trustpilot, a platform for independently verified reviews. At the time of writing this article here's the current comparison between the two platforms on Trustpilot as for everything we could say - this probably speaks the most to the way we do things over here at BookingNinja

Have a look around our features, and if you have any questions feel free to LiveChat with us as we'd be happy to help. BookingNinja is a UK based company but one that serves wonderful venues across the globe.
