The House plan
A free restaurant reservation system. Genuinely.
Unlimited reservations for one location, forever, at $0. No trial clock, no cover cap, no card to start. The full list of what is and is not included is right below, because that is how we would want to be sold to.

What free includes, and what it does not
In the free plan
- Unlimited reservations and guests (one location)
- Online booking page with live availability
- Embeddable booking widget for your website
- Floor plan, tables and the host-stand timeline
- Waitlist for walk-ins
- Guest book with visit history, tags and notes
- Confirmation and day-before reminder emails
- Full CSV export of guests and reservations, free
Not in the free plan
- No-show protection (card holds and one-click fee charging) is Pro
- Custom branding (your logo and color, no Powered by footer) is Pro
- The reports page (no-show rate, covers trends, top guests) is Pro
- Priority support is Pro
Also worth knowing: the free booking page carries a small Powered by footer, and platform-wide gaps apply (no diner network, no POS integration yet, no built-in SMS yet).
How to read any free reservation plan
Free tiers in this category vary a lot, and the differences hide in published pricing pages. Five questions expose them; ask them of us too.
- 1Is it free forever, or a trial with a countdown?
- 2Is there a cap on reservations or covers per month?
- 3Does a per-cover or per-booking fee appear once you are busy?
- 4Can you export your full guest list for free?
- 5Can you cancel or leave without a phone call?
TableHelm's answers: free forever, no caps, no per-cover fees ever, free CSV export, self-serve cancel. For paid platforms' published numbers, see the OpenTable comparison and all comparisons.
Free-plan questions
Yes. House is free indefinitely for one location, with unlimited reservations. It is not a time-limited trial and does not require a card. The paid Full House plan ($29 a month flat) funds the product.
