About this comparison

Ask Access for current Collins pricing for your venue and selected features, including any setup and DesignMyNight referral charges. We could not verify a current public monthly price, so this page does not estimate one.

On the ResoFlow side: there is no ResoFlow fee on deposits (Stripe processing applies) and there's no platform fee on gift card sales (Stripe processing fees apply); 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.

Why ResoFlow

Published pricing, and the
relationship stays yours.

The toolkit in your plan

Gift cards, ticketed events, money-off promotions and a loyalty scheme are part of your plan on Pro (£79/month) and above — gift cards, tickets and loyalty are also available separately, with Tickets free to start. Promotions come with the plans and eligible products that include them. ResoFlow's own optional extras are small and named: credit top-ups and extra storage at £2 per GB a month.

The other side

When Collins might
suit you better.

Four things Collins' own sites offer that ResoFlow does not. They are real, and for bars and groups they can be the whole argument.

01

You want DesignMyNight diners finding you

DesignMyNight offers a discovery channel for guests looking for venues and experiences. ResoFlow provides direct booking links and a separate venue directory, with no per-cover commission.

02

You’re a bar or group running big party bookings

Collins offers large-party securing against last-minute cancellations and pre-orders in the booking flow, and the DesignMyNight audience is built around bars, clubs and pubs.

03

You want one supplier for the whole stack

Collins sits inside the Access hospitality suite — EPOS, CRM, ticketing and more from one vendor. ResoFlow has no EPOS or CRM integrations today.

04

You run many sites and want group-level tooling

Collins is sold per site inside a suite with tools for hospitality groups. ResoFlow keeps bookings, customer records and reporting separate for each venue. Shared group CRM and reporting are not currently available.

If those are your priorities, Collins may genuinely be the better fit — we'd rather you choose the right tool. If a published ladder and the toolkit in the plan matter more, that's the ResoFlow side of the argument.

The switch

Move from Collins
in three steps.

Step 1

Export your data from Collins

Your guest book 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.

Step 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.

Step 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. Many venues run both for a while during the transition, then decide with real numbers.

Can I bring my Collins guest list and bookings with me?

Yes.
