How It Works
Welcome to Make a Rezzy - an affordable, user-friendly restaurant reservation platform built for small and independent restaurants in the United States. We started Make a Rezzy because we know the struggle: too often, big reservation services overcharge and overlook the little guys.
Are you tired of paying exorbitant fees to reservation giants like OpenTable or TheFork? You're not alone. At Make a Rezzy, we believe independent restaurants should have access to cost-effective technology that helps them thrive. That's why we offer a simple pricing model of just $1.25 per cover booked - with zero hidden fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no long-term contracts tying you down.
Moreover, for bookings made through your own website, social media, or search engines, your fees are capped at $125 per month. We give you predictable costs so you can plan your budget without surprises. If we don't bring you diners, you don't pay us a penny. It's that simple.
Don't let high reservation fees hold your business back. Join Make a Rezzy today and start reaching more local diners without breaking the bank. Fill more seats and keep more of your hard-earned revenue where it belongs - in your business.
Why Partner with Make a Rezzy?
Make a Rezzy is an affordable online restaurant booking system designed to help you attract more diners, reduce no-shows, and simplify table management. Our philosophy is simple: when your restaurant grows, we grow too. That's why every feature we build is included at no extra cost.
Affordable Pricing - $1.25 per Cover
With our simple pay-as-you-go model of just $1.25 per cover, you save money that can be invested back into your restaurant. For bookings made through your own website, social media, or search engines, your fees are capped at $125 per month.
All Features, Always Free
Unlike other platforms, we don't lock features behind premium plans. Deposits to reduce no-shows, customisable booking widgets to match your brand, insights from your reservation data, full access to your guest data — it's all included, with no extra charges.
Easy-to-Use Reservation Software
Our restaurant reservation software is incredibly easy to use for both you and your guests. Diners can find and reserve a table online in seconds, and your staff can manage those bookings effortlessly from an intuitive dashboard.
You Own Your Guest Data
We believe your customer data belongs to you. With Make a Rezzy, you have full access to your guest list so you can build loyalty, send offers, and grow repeat business. Unlike other platforms, we don't withhold your data or charge extra to export it.
A True Partnership
We're a founder-led business, not a faceless corporation. We treat every restaurant as a partner, listening to your needs and adapting our platform around them. Our belief is simple: helping restaurants grow helps us grow.
Customisable to Your Brand
Your booking widget and landing page can be fully customised to match your restaurant's brand. We allow you to choose your own colours, fonts, images and styles so the experience feels seamless from your website to our reservation system.
Is This Just Another Restaurant Reservations Platform?
It's easy to assume that Make a Rezzy is just another reservation service in a crowded market. You might wonder, "Is this like OpenTable or Resy, trying to replace my existing setup and take a cut of my profits?" We get the scepticism - many platforms do operate that way. But that's not the case with Make a Rezzy. We're here to complement your current setup and help you grow by bringing in more diners.
Works alongside your existing reservations system
Keep your current reservation workflow — we won't ask you to rip out what you have. Whether you use a system like Resy or SevenRooms, a simple Google calendar, or even a pen-and-paper booking diary, you can keep it. Make a Rezzy simply acts as an additional channel to attract online bookings.
No subscription fee
There are no monthly software fees with Make a Rezzy. Many reservation systems charge hefty monthly subscriptions regardless of whether they bring you customers; we think that's unfair. With us, if our platform doesn't send you diners, you don't pay a cent.
Flat fee of just $1.25 per cover booked
We charge a flat $1.25 for each guest who books and actually dines. For bookings made through your own website, social media, or search engines, your fees are capped at $125 per month. Predictable costs for your budget.
Meeting your needs
Our service moulds around your restaurant's needs, not the other way around. Have unique requirements or special requests? We're flexible. You don't work around us - we work around you, tailoring our system so it fits seamlessly into your everyday workflow.
Excellent customer service and support
When you partner with Make a Rezzy, you get direct, personal support from our UK-based team. No call centres or week-long waits for a reply - you'll have a real, friendly person ready to help every step of the way.
Builds your online presence
Beyond managing bookings, we also boost your online visibility. Your restaurant will be featured on our dining platform where local food lovers are actively searching. Make a Rezzy doubles as a marketing channel for you - at no extra cost.
Tailored Reservation Settings
We understand that every restaurant operates a little differently. That's why we offer customisable reservation settings to fit your style. You control all the details: set the maximum party size for online bookings, decide how far in advance people can reserve a table, and define the time intervals between seatings.
Make a Rezzy gives you the flexibility to configure our system to match your dining room's flow - think of it like having your own custom restaurant reservation management tool, without the complexity.
We're also continually improving our platform based on feedback from partners like you. If there's a feature that would make our reservation system work even better for your business, we want to hear about it. Your input matters - we build this service hand-in-hand with the restaurants that use it.
Our Availability System Is Designed to Fit Your Needs
Running a restaurant isn't a strict 9-to-5 job - and our availability management is built with that reality in mind. Simply tell us your standard opening days and hours, and our restaurant booking software will automatically manage your bookable timeslots.
Once you've set your schedule, we handle the rest. If your hours change seasonally or you adjust timings, update your settings once and your online reservation availability updates everywhere instantly. You'll never have to worry about a guest booking a table when the restaurant is actually closed.
And we don't stop there. Hosting a special event or planning a holiday closure? It's easy to block off specific dates and times in the system with just a few clicks. Our availability calendar will immediately reflect the change, so you won't receive bookings when you're not open.
No Need to Contact Customers Individually
Stop spending your precious time calling or emailing guests about their reservations - we've automated that process for you. We understand running a restaurant keeps you busy, which is why Make a Rezzy takes care of the routine communication so you can focus on what you do best: creating amazing dining experiences.
For example, the moment a diner books a table through our online restaurant reservation system, they receive an instant confirmation email with all the details. If they later cancel, our system immediately sends them a cancellation notice so the slot opens up for someone else.
This seamless level of automation means you save time and avoid costly errors. No-shows and cancellations are handled gracefully, and your guests stay informed at every step. With Make a Rezzy managing the busywork of confirmations and reminders, you can concentrate on delighting your diners.
