Where Now Book It beats us.
- Twenty-one years in the market and more than 11,000 venues, against our zero. They have been tested by more services than we have run.
- A much wider product: takeaway ordering, gift cards and a payment gateway, where we only do bookings.
- Established POS integrations with the systems Australian venues already run.
- A support organisation, rather than one person.
Where we fit better.
- Price. Our single plan is well under their entry plan, and there is no setup fee.
- You want one tier that includes everything, rather than choosing a plan and finding out later what it excludes.
