Looking for a Toast Tables alternative?
Toast Tables is convenient if you’re already in the Toast ecosystem, but tying your reservations to your POS means you’re locked into one vendor for everything. If Toast’s pricing changes or their platform doesn’t fit your needs, migrating is painful.
bavoli works independently of your POS system. You keep the flexibility to choose the best tool for each part of your operation. Unlimited reservations come on every plan, including Free, with no per-cover fees, and Plus at $30 a month adds guest texts and card holds. Your data is always exportable.
For independent restaurants that want reservation management without vendor lock-in, bavoli gives you the features you need without the strings attached.
