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. Reservations start at $20 per month with no per-cover fees, and 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.
