For small restaurants that want their floor back

A Resy alternative built for small restaurants

Resy is good at one thing: filling a room people are already trying to get into, through its diner network and app. Most small restaurants need something else. Scanqur puts your QR menu, ordering and table bookings on one page, free to start.

What you get instead

One tool that runs the room, not just the waitlist

Resy handles bookings and stops there. Scanqur covers the rest of the night: the menu guests read, the order they place, the table they booked.

Bookings from your menu page

Guests ask for a table from the page that holds your menu. On the free plan the request reaches you by phone or WhatsApp; with Pro it lands in a booking calendar with automatic confirmations and reminders.

A QR menu guests actually use

Scan, browse, done. No app, no PDF that pinches to zoom. Change a price and the next guest sees it.

Table ordering

Each table gets its own QR code and orders arrive with the table number: on WhatsApp for free, or on a live board in your dashboard with Pro.

AI menu scanning

Photograph your paper menu and Scanqur builds the digital version for you. Your first scan is free; Pro includes 10 a day.

Analytics that mean something

See which dishes guests open and which categories they skip. That is the data that tells you which dish to cut.

Themes that match your room

A page that looks like your restaurant, whether that is a wine bar or a twelve-seat counter. Two themes are free, all 22 with Pro.

The honest part

Why small restaurants look past Resy

Resy is a strong product. It was just built for a different kind of restaurant than most.

Built for rooms with a waitlist

Resy shines when demand already outstrips seats and its network sends you diners. A neighborhood spot with a few open tables on a Tuesday is paying for reach it does not need.

A monthly subscription from day one

Resy charges a fixed monthly fee, a few hundred dollars on the plans listed in 2026, whether you take ten bookings or a thousand. For a small room, that is a big line for one job.

Reservations only

Resy books the table. It does not carry your menu, take the order or update a sold-out dish. That is two or three more tools, each with its own bill.

Another app between you and the guest

Resy works best when your guest already lives in the Resy app. Scanqur asks for nothing: scan the code, you are in.

A small restaurant should not need a reservation subscription before it needs a menu.

The idea Scanqur is built on

Worth reading first

Choosing restaurant reservation software for a small room

Know what you are paying for

Reservation tools charge in two ways: a flat monthly subscription, like Resy, or a fee per seated guest, like some booking marketplaces. A subscription costs the same on a quiet month; a per-cover fee grows with your good nights. Either way, check whether you need the diner network that comes with it, because that is most of what you pay for.

A QR ordering system asks nothing of your guest

The point of a QR ordering system is that there is no step between scanning and ordering. No download, no account, no app to open. That frictionless path is the gap between Scanqur and a reservation-only platform.

Your digital menu and your bookings belong together

When the menu lives in one place and the reservation lives in another, your guest hops between two experiences and you manage two systems. A page that holds the menu, the order and the booking is simply less to run.

Start with what you need today

If booking requests by phone or WhatsApp are enough, Scanqur’s free plan covers them. If you want a calendar, capacity per time slot and automatic confirmations, that is Pro, and every new account can try it for 14 days before paying anything.

Common questions

What people ask us most

If your priority is a menu guests scan, ordering from the table and bookings on the same page, Scanqur covers all three and is free to start. Resy is still the right call if you run a high-demand room that benefits from its diner network and waitlist tools.
