TablePort vs ResyResy takes the booking.
TablePort runs the floor.

Resy, owned by American Express, is a reservations platform with a diner network that integrates with POS systems. TablePort takes a different shape: reservations, the till, and the kitchen are one platform, with the booking and the check on the same system.

Why operators switch

What a switch changes.

The booking and the check are one system.

Reservations, the floor plan, the till, and the kitchen aren't separate vendors stitched together. A booking becomes a seated table becomes a check without an integration layer in between.

One platform, one bill.

You're not paying for a reservations layer on top of a separate POS subscription. Reservations, POS, KDS, and stock are one platform with one invoice.

Your guest list stays yours.

Guest profiles, history, and contact details live in your TablePort platform. You decide how to reach your regulars, within UK data protection and marketing consent rules.

Who it's for

Built for independent restaurants.

TablePort is built for you if you...

  • Want reservations and the POS underneath them in one platform, not two vendors.
  • Need a built-in floor plan, KDS, and stock, not just a booking book.
  • Want guest data to live in your own system, shared across every surface.
  • Prefer month-to-month pricing with no setup fees.
  • Are UK-based and want UK payments and UK support hours.

If inbound demand from Resy's diner network and American Express Card Members is central to your business, that reach is an advantage a booking widget on your own site does not replicate. TablePort makes sense when you want to own the full stack and unify reservations, the POS, and the kitchen.

No. Resy, owned by American Express, is a reservations and guest-management platform with a diner network. It integrates with point-of-sale systems but does not process your orders or run your kitchen. TablePort includes the POS, kitchen display, and stock natively alongside reservations.

Honestly, no, not in the same way. Resy's link to American Express and its network of 60M+ registered users (Resy, January 2026) is a genuine strength. TablePort gives you an embeddable booking widget for your own site and channels, but it isn't a discovery marketplace. If network-driven covers are central to your business, weigh that carefully.

No. Resy states it does not charge cover fees for reservations booked on its platform. TablePort also charges no per-cover fees; the difference is that TablePort also includes the POS and kitchen on the same platform.

Some operators do exactly that: keep Resy for cardholder reach and run TablePort as the POS, kitchen, and reservations system underneath. TablePort's reservations are native, so you can also move fully off Resy when you're ready. It's your call.

With TablePort, guest profiles and history live in your system and stay yours across reservations, POS, ordering, and loyalty. For Resy, check its terms on data ownership, export and use. If owning your guest list outright matters to you, ask each provider.

Sign up after close, import your menu from a photo or pasted text, and take your first order the next morning; your phone is the POS until you add a reader. If you're moving reservations and history across, our team can help with the migration; timing depends on your setup.
