OpenTable fits if Most of your covers are reservations and you want OpenTable’s diner network. You want reservations, the waitlist and the floor plan in one system. DineQ fits if Your wait is mostly walk-ins. You want the waitlist on the first plan, not a higher tier. You want no per-cover fees on anything. You want to be billed in Canadian dollars. Trying it. 01 Start a DineQ trial and print the QR sheet for your door. 02 Run DineQ for walk-ins on your busiest night. 03 Check your renewal date: OpenTable’s contract renews each year unless you give 30 days’ notice.[1] Run both for a week. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — no need to switch off anything first.
