Any reservation, waitlist group or call-ahead group, whatever its size. The count runs over any 30 days in a row. ### What happens if I go over my plan's limit? We’ll warn you when you’re getting close. Once you reach the limit, you can’t add new reservations or waitlist groups until your count for the last 30 days drops below it, or you move to a higher plan. We never upgrade you automatically. ### Can I change or stop my plan? Yes, whenever you like, in the Manager Portal, with no contract and no notice period. An upgrade starts straight away and you only pay the difference for the rest of your billing period. A downgrade takes effect at the end of your billing period. ### Do you charge booking fees? No. There are no booking fees and no per-cover fees, only your monthly plan. Prepaid tickets carry a small ticket fee set by your plan, and messages are paid as you send them. ### What do messages cost? It depends on where your guests’ phone numbers are from and the channel. New venues get free messages to start, then you top up credits in the Manager Portal. ### Do unused message credits expire? Not for two years. Unused credits roll over and stay valid for two years from the day you buy them. ### Is there a discount for paying yearly? Yes. Pay for the year up front and save 10% on your plan and add-ons. Yearly payments are non-refundable. ### Which currency will I pay in? Your local currency where we have one: US dollars, pounds, euros, Swiss francs, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish kroner, Australian dollars, Mexican pesos and Brazilian reais. Everywhere else, including the rest of Latin America, US dollars. ### Do you offer group pricing? For groups of 10 or more venues, yes. Let’s talk about what you need. Each venue in a smaller group has its own plan. ### Can guests pay in advance for a reservation? Yes, on every plan. On the days, times or seating areas you choose, guests buy a ticket when they reserve their table. A small ticket fee applies, set by your plan.
