How do I switch from Tablein to ResoFlow?
How Tablein and ResoFlow compare, from Tablein’s own pages — then download your guests and reservations, import them and share your booking link.
Tablein and ResoFlow both charge a flat monthly price with no commission; Tablein's plans all carry every feature and differ in the reservations included, while ResoFlow starts with a free plan and its tiers climb by the toolkit. Moving across takes three steps: get your data out, import it, and switch your booking links over.
Tablein and ResoFlow side by side
Every Tablein fact below is from Tablein's own published pages, as ResoFlow's comparison page checked them on 6 November 2026. No price Tablein doesn't publish is estimated. Published terms change, so always confirm current terms with Tablein directly. ResoFlow is not affiliated with Tablein. Where a rival says its prices exclude VAT, so do we show them; ResoFlow currently charges no VAT.
- Plan prices: Published — £60, £105 and £157 per month, per venue
- Bookings included: Starter 50 reservations, Growth 150, Success unlimited — every plan with “All the features included”
- Over the allowance: Extra reservations charged in euros — €0.67 each on Starter, €0.37 on Growth
- Commission on bookings: None — including bookings via Google Reserve
- Free plan: No free plan — a 14-day free trial of its premium plan, no card required
- Contract: “No minimum term” — cancel any time; annual plans on Success
- Getting started: Self-serve 14-day free trial, no card required — no set-up or integration fees
ResoFlow's side, from the same page: published plans — Free with no time limit, then Plus (£39/month), Pro (£79/month) and Complete (£129/month), with two months free if you pay annually; online bookings are counted only on Free and Plus — unlimited on Pro and Complete (fair usage), and bookings your team add, and walk-ins, are unlimited on every plan (fair usage); at the monthly allowance, new online bookings are declined until the allowance resets, and your team can still add bookings; no commission on table bookings; monthly, with no annual contract; and you start self-serve — create your venue free, no demo call. When you first subscribe you get a 14-day money-back guarantee.
When Tablein might suit you better
Four things Tablein's own pages offer that ResoFlow does not — real, and for some venues the whole argument:
- You want bookings straight from Google. Tablein lists Google Reserve on its pricing page — bookings straight from Google Search and Maps. ResoFlow instead walks you through putting your booking link on your Google Business Profile.
- You want every feature on your first plan. Every Tablein plan says “All the features included” — the plans differ only in reservations. ResoFlow's gift cards, ticketed events and loyalty are in the plan from Pro (£79/month), or on their own.
- You’d rather pay per extra booking than reach a limit. Tablein’s Starter and Growth charge for each reservation over the allowance. On ResoFlow’s Free and Plus plans, new online bookings are declined at the monthly allowance until it resets — upgrading is the fix.
- You’re outside the UK. Tablein says it works in 50+ countries and takes subscription payments in euros, pounds and dollars. ResoFlow is built for UK venues and priced in pounds.
Step 1 — Export your data from Tablein
Your guest book is your data. In Tablein, open the Guestbook (Database → Guests), click Download, choose CSV or Excel and give an email address — Tablein emails you a download link. Reservations export the same way from the Reservations Database, up to 1,000 records at a time, so export your history in date ranges that each stay under that. Only an Owner or Manager can export them.
Step 2 — Import it into ResoFlow
Imports run from the wizard at Settings → Data import — four steps: Upload, Mapping, Preview, Import. Guest imports come with Plus and above, and with every paid Gift Cards, Loyalty, Events or Order & Pay product; booking imports need a venue plan. Only Owners and Admins see the page.
- Pick a tile — Guests for your guest list, Bookings for your reservation history — then click the upload box (Click to upload your CSV or Excel file) and choose the file. A file can hold up to 10,000 rows — ResoFlow brings it in 500 at a time and shows one result at the end. Each of your Tablein reservation exports is its own file: upload them one after another.
- On the Mapping step, the wizard matches your CSV columns to ResoFlow fields wherever the column names are recognisable — check each one and map by hand any it missed, then click Preview data.
- Preview shows the first 10 rows, and Rows with a problem lists every row that can't come in, with its row number and reason. Fix them, or click Skip these rows and import the rest; otherwise click Import N records.
A guest whose email already exists in your directory is merged, never duplicated, and a booking that's already in your diary is skipped — so overlapping date ranges are never doubled. Your opening hours, tables and policies aren't part of a CSV — you set those up in ResoFlow directly (Your set-up, in the sidebar, walks you through it).
Gift cards you've sold come across too, with the Gift cards tile (it shows when gift cards are on — Pro and above, or the Gift cards product): each keeps its old code and what's left on it, so guests' cards still work. See "Gift cards from your old system" in How do I import guests, bookings or staff from a CSV?.
Step 3 — Share your new booking link
Your public booking page (it looks like …/book/your-venue) is live once your set-up essentials are done. Put the link on your website, social profiles and Google Business Profile — the walkthroughs at Settings → Get more bookings cover Google, Apple Maps, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp — or embed the booking widget on your own site.
