TablePort vs Resy
Resy, owned by American Express, is a reservations platform with a cardholder-driven diner network, sitting on top of the POS you already run. TablePort takes a different shape: reservations, the till, and the kitchen are one platform, one bill, with the booking and the check on the same system.
Based on Resy's publicly available product documentation and pricing, May 2026. Features and pricing change; verify current details before deciding.

Why operators switch
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.
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.
Guest profiles, history, and contact details live in your platform, not inside a cardholder network you rent access to. You decide how to reach your regulars.
Who it's for
If inbound demand from Amex's Global Dining Access and a cardholder network is central to your business, Resy's discovery reach is its real advantage: it puts your tables in front of high-intent diners, and no booking widget on your own site matches that. TablePort makes sense when you want to own the full stack and unify reservations, the POS, and the kitchen.
