Considering Favouritetable? See both sides.
Favouritetable is a UK booking system with published prices, no booking commission and a free tier — common ground worth respecting. The real comparison is the ladders: theirs runs £69 to £199 a month with the toolkit arriving tier by tier; ResoFlow runs free to £129/month with gift cards, events, loyalty and promotions in-plan and tables on every tier. Here's both sides.

Favouritetable details are from Favouritetable's own website (favouritetable.com and its pricing page), checked July 2026: FT Lite £69/month, FT Pro £129/month, FT Ultimo £199/month (annual billing available), FT Free at £0 for up to 30 bookings a month as its exclusive-provider free tier, and FT Flex at £2 per cover; its headline is "No Commission / No Per-Cover Fees / No Tie-Ins", with the per-cover figure applying only to the optional Flex model; its feature grid places table management on FT Pro and marketing tools (email, SMS and WhatsApp), pre-ordering and EPOS integration on FT Ultimo. On the ResoFlow side: Free's free plan covers up to 30 online bookings a month; 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). Features and pricing change; always confirm current terms with Favouritetable directly. ResoFlow is not affiliated with Favouritetable.
More of the toolkit, lower on the ladder.
A lower ladder, rung for rung
Compared plan for plan, ResoFlow sits below Favouritetable's published prices: Plus is £39/month against FT Lite's £69, and Complete — the full toolkit — is £129/month against FT Ultimo's £199. Every paid plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee, and the free plan carries no exclusivity condition.
Tables on every plan, toolkit in the plan
Table and floor-plan management is part of every ResoFlow plan, including the free one — and gift cards, ticketed events, money-off promotions and a loyalty programme are plan features on Pro (£79/month) and above, with gift cards, tickets and loyalty 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 guest data stays yours
Bring your Favouritetable guest list with you via CSV import, and export everything back out whenever you like. 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 Favouritetable might suit you better.
You want pay-as-you-go instead of a subscription
Favouritetable's FT Flex offers unlimited bookings at £2 per cover with no monthly plan — a structure that can suit a venue whose bookings are few and irregular. ResoFlow has no per-cover option by design; its plans are flat monthly prices.
You want WhatsApp in your marketing mix
FT Ultimo's marketing tools cover email, SMS and WhatsApp. ResoFlow's marketing works your guest list by email and SMS — there's no WhatsApp channel today.
You run several sites on one system
Multi-site management arrives on FT Pro and up. ResoFlow is built for independent venues — one account, one venue, one flat price.
You need EPOS integration
FT Ultimo lists EPOS integration. ResoFlow doesn't offer EPOS integrations today — bookings, payments and reports live in ResoFlow itself.
If those are your priorities, Favouritetable may genuinely be the better fit — we'd rather you choose the right tool. If a lower ladder with more of the toolkit in the plan matters more, read on.
Move from Favouritetable in three steps.
- 1
Export your data from Favouritetable
Your guest list is your data. Export your customer database and booking history from Favouritetable 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.
