Overview
QaTable is an iPad host-stand system from a US company, combining walk-ins, online waitlist joins and reservations with two-way texting and table maps. Three plans run $39, $139 and $199 a month.
QaTable is a host-stand system for restaurants from Q Technologies Incorporated, a United States company governed by Washington State law. The product appears as Q Host in the apps and Q on the site. Walk-ins, online waitlist joins and reservations appear in one list on an iPad at the host stand, with two-way texting and a table map that shows table status, check-down, server sections and rotation. The App Store description adds analytics of past wait times.
Pricing is public and billed monthly: Basic at $39, Better at $139 and Best at $199. Every plan includes the host-stand features, and the plans differ by how guests reach the restaurant. Basic runs the front door, Better lets guests add their party from the restaurant’s website, Google and social links, and Best adds online reservations with an inventory calendar. Basic and Better include a request book for called-in reservations. The vendor states no booking, per-cover or usage fees. Text replies from guests are limited to defined keywords.
The pricing page offers a free start for up to 100 parties with no credit card, through the App Store. The Terms describe a recurring monthly subscription, and allow fixed terms such as 12 months. Billing runs directly or through Apple’s subscription system. The only integration recorded is a Google booking channel.
