TableCheck vs OpenTable

OpenTable profile

Best fit: TableCheck compared with OpenTable
Best fit: TableCheck	Operators who want commission-free direct bookings, an owned guest CRM, and POS sync, especially those operating in or reaching Asia-Pacific, and who do not need a Western consumer marketplace to be found.
Best fit: OpenTable	Rooms that need marketplace discovery and will pay per cover (plus the 2% fee) for the largest reservation network to help fill seats, especially newer or broad-appeal restaurants in Western markets.

Verdict

There is no universal winner, only a fit. Choose OpenTable if you need discovery and are willing to pay per cover, and now a 2% fee, for the largest reservation network to help fill your seats. Choose TableCheck if you want commission-free direct bookings, a guest CRM you own, and POS sync, especially operating in or reaching Asia-Pacific where its network is strongest. Both run a clean book and cut no-shows with the same automated-confirmation loop.

Before you switch

There is rarely one winner: the right pick depends on your format, your budget, and how much lock-in you can live with. Before you leave TableCheck, price the whole move: getting your data out, any payment-processing contract, hardware, and the other tools it connects to. If TableCheck does its main job well, fixing one weak spot may beat switching. Describe that specific need in the builder and check the connections before going live.
