Reservation software, compared honestly
TableHelm, a home for your bookings after Quandoo
Quandoo is shutting down. Its restaurant tools stopped taking new or existing bookings on 1 October 2026, and the website and app come down by 31 December 2026. If your bookings ran through Quandoo, you need somewhere new for them, and your guest list, now. TableHelm is free for one location with unlimited reservations, imports your guest list from a CSV, and takes about ten minutes to set up.
What Quandoo does well
Credibility first: these are the genuine strengths.
- It brought diners: a consumer app and website that sent bookings to partner restaurants
- Confirmed reservations made through it are still being honoured during the wind-down
When Quandoo is the better pick: Nobody, any more. It's closing. The question is what replaces it.

The honest gaps
What TableHelm does not do (and Quandoo might)
- No diner discovery network. Your guests book through your own website, Google profile and Instagram; TableHelm makes that link excellent but brings no marketplace demand.
- No POS integration yet.
- Text messages are on Full House only (500 a month included). House sends confirmation emails; reminder emails are Full House too.
- One location per account for now.
If any of those are dealbreakers today, we would rather you know now. Here is exactly what you get on both of our plans.
