BookingNinja vs TableIn

We started BookingNinja because we founded our own cafe here in England, and were disappointed with the reliability, quality and high pricing of the big name booking platforms. That was eight years ago, and we don't think the competition has changed all that much.

If you're considering us vs. Tablein, here's how we think we set ourselves apart.

#1 - Clear, Honest Pricing (And 3x Cheaper..)

Unlike many of our competing services, Tablein does show prices up front without having to do a call with them. Progress!

This means we can say with confidence that BookingNinja is significantly cheaper across the board.

Unfortunately, while Tablein have a plan for 47 EUR, that plan is extremely limited, allowing only 50 online bookings per month. For comparison our smallest venues who only open during weekends easily hit more than this over a month.

For an even better comparison, our FREE account offers more online bookings than this, and comparing our standard with their premium offering (the only one with unlimited bookings) we are 3x cheaper.

BookingNinja's comparable plan, our 50 GBP a month starter plan, offers unlimited bookings as standard, because you shouldn't be paying a premium just to take a regular amount of bookings for your business.

#2 - Reliable Customer Service and a Real Relationship

BookingNinja isn't just another tech company trying to capitalise on the hospitality industry -- we are a family run, UK based business that was set up to fix problems and gaps in the existing services when trying to bring our own venue to the world of online bookings.

As venue owners ourselves, we know how important trusting in an online booking platform can be, which is why for our all our customers on our gold package (80 GBP a month) you can book in a chat directly with the senior team with just a days notice to chat about setup, discuss features and generally just talk to us directly about the platform.

We never want to stop learning from our venues, and many of our features come for direct conversation with our venues.

As a larger, corporate business focused on enterprise offerings and large chains, this sort of relationship and feature isn't offered at all on Tablein - you'll be just another small business owner talking to CS teams seperate from the people who run the business.

#3 - You Can Sign Up to BookingNinja, For Free, Right Now

Ultimately, everyone wants you to use their service, right? But unlike Tablein, you actually can use BookingNinja, right now. Register a free account without any card details, and you'll be able to access all of our features and having a booking form live in less than five minutes, so you can see for yourself if we live up to our words. Unlike Tablein, that isn't for a 14 day trail - that's for an unlimited use, providing you don't go over the monthly booking allowance. And if you do, don't worry, we'll let you know -- rather than charging a fee per booking like Tablein.

#4 - Importing is Easy

If you're currently with Tablein and would like to move -- you're not alone!

We've imported many of our existing venues from those looking for a Tablein alternative. Let us know, and we'll run a free import of your existing bookings, correctly assigning guest times, sizes and tables so you can switch over easily.
