Where Dojo Bookings is stronger
If you already take card payments through Dojo, keeping bookings in the same place has real appeal: one supplier, one login, and payments and bookings that talk to each other. Dojo also has a large diner app, walk-in queue tools and experience bookings, and it is a big, well funded UK company.
Where Tablez is stronger
Price and freedom. At £9.99 a month, Tablez Standard costs well over £1,500 a year less than £149 a month, and the free plan may cover a quieter venue completely. You can see every price and sign up without a sales call, and you are not tied to any card machine or payment provider.
Switching from Dojo Bookings
Sign up free, set your opening hours and tables, add your upcoming bookings, then swap the widget on your website and the booking link on Google, Instagram and Facebook. Most venues are done in under an hour, and we will do it with you for free if you would rather. Run both side by side until your old bookings have passed.
