Free, Starter or Pro — which should I pick?
Start on Free: get listed, take booking requests on your OpenALaCarte page, and pay 5% of what guests pay online, with nothing monthly. Move to Starter (£29/mo, 4%) for the floor-plan builder, analytics, CRM and promo codes, with SMS reminders coming soon. Step up to Plus (£69/mo, 3.5%) for proposals, banquet event orders and seating charts, or Pro (£149/mo, 3%) for AI insights, automation and the lowest self-serve commission.
Can I switch between them?
Yes, any time. Plan changes are arranged with our team or, where self-serve billing is open, made from Plan & usage in your dashboard: an upgrade applies at once and is prorated, a downgrade takes effect at the end of the billing period.
What does commission apply to?
Commission is a share of what the guest pays online by card through OpenALaCarte: the deposit and the balance. A refund returns the commission on the amount refunded. Money you keep when a booking is cancelled or the guest does not show carries no commission: we hand it back to you.
Do you take a cut on direct walk-ins?
No. Commission is only taken on what a guest pays online by card through OpenALaCarte, so a walk-in or phone booking the guest pays you for directly carries none. A booking that comes in through your OpenALaCarte page or the enquiry widget on your own website carries commission on what the guest pays online. On Pro, commission-free direct booking removes it from bookings you log yourself and from bookings made through your own direct booking page.
