Considering Collins? See both sides.
Access Collins Evo — the booking system venues know as Collins, by DesignMyNight — pairs group-friendly bookings with the DesignMyNight marketplace, priced from £149 per month per site. ResoFlow's whole ladder sits below that one figure: flat published plans from free to £129/month, self-serve from day one. Here's an honest comparison — including when Collins might suit you better.

Collins details are from its own websites, checked July 2026: collinsbookings.com now redirects to The Access Group's booking software page, which prices Access Collins Evo "from £149 per month, per site" and gates the full breakdown behind a contact form; DesignMyNight's venues page says marketplace referrals are "pay only for bookings confirmed", with the rates not published, so this page quotes no estimates for them. Features and pricing change; always confirm current terms with Access directly. On the ResoFlow side: you keep 100% of your deposits and there's no platform fee on gift card sales — your venue keeps 100% of the face value; a fee of 2.9% + 50p applies per paid event ticket (your venue absorbs it by default). ResoFlow is not affiliated with Collins, DesignMyNight or the Access Group.
Published pricing, and the relationship stays yours.
A whole ladder below their from-price
Collins' one published figure is £149 a month per site. Every ResoFlow plan — including Complete with the full toolkit — is £129/month or less, published in full, with a free plan to start on today and a 14-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan. No contact form between you and the numbers.
The toolkit in your plan
Gift cards, ticketed events, money-off promotions and a loyalty programme are part of your plan on Pro and above — and gift cards, tickets and loyalty are also available on their own, from £25/month. (ResoFlow's own optional extras are honest and small: credit top-ups for SMS and email, and extra image storage.)
Your guests book with you, not through a middleman
Bookings come through your own website, links and profiles, so the relationship — and the data — is yours. Guest profiles, visit history, allergies and preferences live in your own dashboard, hosted in the EU, covered by UK GDPR, and never sold or shared.
When Collins might suit you better.
You want DesignMyNight diners finding you
DesignMyNight claims up to 3.9 million monthly visitors discovering bars, restaurants, clubs and pubs, and says some venues drive over 10,000 bookings a year from it. ResoFlow has no diner marketplace; guests find you through your own website, Google profile and social links.
You're a bar or group running big party bookings
Collins' tooling leans into large-party bookings — securing groups against last-minute cancellations and collecting pre-orders as part of the booking flow — and DesignMyNight's audience is built around bars, clubs and pubs as much as restaurants. ResoFlow covers deposits and pre-orders too, but Collins pairs them with party-planning diners actively searching for venues.
You want one supplier for the whole stack
Collins sits inside the Access hospitality suite alongside EPOS, CRM and ticketing products, with integrations across that ecosystem. ResoFlow doesn't offer EPOS or CRM integrations today — bookings, payments and reports live in ResoFlow itself.
You run many sites and want group-level tooling
Collins is priced and sold per site as part of a suite used by 8,000+ venues, many of them multi-site groups. ResoFlow is built for independent venues — one account, one flat price.
If those are your priorities, Collins may genuinely be the better fit — we'd rather you choose the right tool. If published pricing, a free start and more of the toolkit in one flat plan matter more, read on.
Move from Collins in three steps.
- 1
Export your data from Collins
Your guest list is your data. Export your customer database and booking history from Collins as CSV files — or ask their support team for an export if you can't find one in your reports.
- 2
Import it into ResoFlow
Open Settings → Data import in your ResoFlow dashboard and upload each CSV. The wizard matches your columns to ResoFlow fields, shows a preview before anything is written, and imports up to 500 rows per file. Customers with a matching email are merged, never duplicated.
- 3
Point your channels at your new booking link
Your public booking page is live the moment setup is complete. Put the link on your website, social profiles and Google Business Profile — or embed the booking widget directly on your site — and new bookings land in your dashboard in real time.
CSV import is included on Plus (£39/month) and above, and with any paid ResoFlow product. Full walkthrough in our data import guide.
