Does SevenRooms charge per cover?

No. SevenRooms charges a subscription rather than a fee per cover, and its marketplace bookings through DoorDash and Deliveroo are offered with no cover fees. The cost to watch is the add-ons: email marketing, events, Voice AI and WhatsApp are priced separately. Benvo also has no cover fees and includes WhatsApp from your own number in Reservations.

What is the best alternative to SevenRooms for a members club?

For a members club, Benvo is the closer fit because reservations, memberships, renewals, member events and a members app share one guest record. Chloe, the AI concierge, answers members on WhatsApp and the phone. SevenRooms remains strong for large restaurant groups that rely on card holds and its marketplace reach.

Can I move my guest data from SevenRooms to Benvo?

Yes. Benvo imports guest profiles, visit history, notes, tags, marketing consent and future bookings from a SevenRooms export, and the migration is included at no charge. Most venues are live in 14 days. If you are still on a SevenRooms contract, Benvo credits up to 3 months of it on a 12 month term.

Is there a free version of SevenRooms?

No. SevenRooms has no free plan; every plan is sold on quote after a demo. Benvo Core, with guest profiles, is free, Reservations is a published $249 a month, there is no setup fee and a free demo comes first.
