## What resmio does that we don’t.

If you want food ordering, vouchers, newsletters, a staff rota and a simple website from one supplier, resmio covers more ground than Carbonara, and its free plan includes online bookings with no monthly fee. That’s a real strength. The question is how many of those you’d actually use, and whether they’re worth 12 months.
