TableCheck Alternatives for Restaurants in Thailand

The right alternative to TableCheck depends on the job you need done: letting guests book online themselves, being found by diners searching on a dining platform, or giving your staff one reservation book for phone and LINE bookings. Pick the category first, then compare the tools inside it.
Rezabo is a reservation book for restaurant staff that we built for our own three restaurants in Bangkok: yakiniku, izakaya, and shabu-shabu. Because this article is written by the maker of Rezabo, we state clearly what Rezabo cannot do alongside what it does. For every other company, we write only what we confirmed on their official pages on November 3, 2026, and we write “not stated” where an official page does not mention a point. We leave out the prices of other companies so you can check current quotes with each provider directly.

Which kind fits your restaurant
- If you want guests to book online, pay deposits at booking, or get automated reminders: look at an all-in-one online reservation and table management system such as TableCheck or Eat App.
- If you want diners who do not know your restaurant to discover you through a directory or fixed-price package: look at a diner-facing discovery and booking platform such as Chope or Hungry Hub.
- If you take bookings by phone and LINE and want one shared staff book across phones and tablets: look at a staff reservation book such as Rezabo.
- If you have one location, few bookings, and one person handling the book: paper with LINE (the do-nothing option) can still work without software.

TableCheck
TableCheck describes itself on its official join page as a restaurant management and reservation platform used by more than 15,000 restaurants in over 40 countries. Its page states that web, phone, walk-in, marketplace, and OTA bookings flow into one book that updates in real time, and that bookings from your own site, Google, and social channels have no cover fees.
Its official page also states:
- Guests can reserve on one page in 23 languages with instant confirmation.
- Payments cover deposits and pre-payment, and payment gateways support over 100 currencies.
- A live waitlist quotes wait times and sends an SMS when a table is ready, and guest messaging works across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and LINE.
- A unified guest profile records visit history, preferences, and allergies across venues, alongside automated post-visit surveys and marketing campaigns.
- It works with POS systems and includes an AI insight assistant.
Whether its staff screens support Thai or what local support structure it has in Thailand is not stated on the join page, though Thailand is selectable in the inquiry form.
Eat App
Eat App describes its software on its official site as an end-to-end dining experience solution covering reservation management, marketing, reviews, and a payment suite, used in over 90 countries.
Its official page states that restaurants can:
- Take commission-free online reservations from Instagram, Google, and their own website.
- Manage reservations, walk-ins, and calls in a single place, visualize the floor plan, and manage waitlists and shifts.
- Send automated reservation confirmations and reminders, and collect upfront payments during the reservation flow including deposits and pre-paid bookings.
- Sync across iPhone, Android, web browsers, and iPad.
- Use a guest database with automated tags, post-dining surveys, pay-at-table QR codes, email marketing campaigns, and shared databases for restaurant groups.
Whether Eat App offers a Thai-language interface or local support in Thailand is not stated on its main product page.
Chope
Chope operates a diner discovery and booking platform in Bangkok and Phuket. Note: when we opened Chope’s Bangkok “For Restaurants” link, it redirected to the main diner homepage, so the details below come from Chope’s Bangkok “Why Use Chope” page and its regional “For Restaurants” page.
Those pages state:
- Chope is available in seven cities, including Bangkok and Phuket, and lists over 13,000 restaurants on its discovery platform.
- Diners use Chope to discover restaurants, book anytime, and buy discounted restaurant deals such as dining vouchers, buy-1-get-1-free deals, off-peak discounts, and set menu savings.
- For restaurants, Chope states that it provides a 24/7 reservations channel, re-routes reservations from the phone to the web, and replaces a pen-and-paper book with an online reservation diary that doubles as a CRM database.
Specific staff software features, deposit rules, POS integrations, and staff interface languages for Thailand are not stated on those pages.
Hungry Hub
Hungry Hub describes itself on its official partner site as a leading platform for restaurants and hotels in Thailand offering exclusive fixed-price deals, with over 1,400 participating restaurants and hotels and more than 2 million seats served.
Its official English and Thai partner pages state:
- It offers Dine-in Offers (All You Can Eat and Party Pack packages for restaurants), Xperience packages, and a “FREE / PAID Reservation System” for restaurants.
- Customers know the price before booking, control their budget, and pay net prices with special privileges when booking through Hungry Hub.
- Restaurant partners get access to a Partner Portal dashboard for managing and checking their restaurant.
- On its Thai restaurant partner page, Hungry Hub lists the profile of restaurants it looks for: a physical storefront, average spending per person of 300 THB or more, full service staff, online contact channels, a varied menu, and online reviews.
Detailed floor-plan features, walk-in handling rules, and staff interface language settings are not stated on these overview pages.
Rezabo
We built Rezabo because, while running three restaurants in Bangkok, we could not tell how many parties each restaurant had tonight without asking that restaurant. We made a reservation book where staff enter bookings taken by phone or LINE, plus walk-ins, and where an owner can switch between restaurants on a phone.
Rezabo does the following:
- The restaurant list shows today’s party count and guest count for each restaurant, and tapping a restaurant opens its reservation book.
- Each table shows which hours are occupied on a timeline, and future bookings are entered on the same screen.
- On the same table, a booking that starts too close to another cannot be entered, and overlapping times bring up a warning and confirmation screen.
- Walk-ins can be entered in three steps using the Walk-in button so the table does not look free when the next phone call comes in.
- Entering a phone number suggests a registered guest’s name, and guest records and notes are shared across your restaurants.
- Adding, changing, and cancelling a booking is recorded in the history.
- Each device can switch its screen language between Japanese, English, and Thai—for example, English or Japanese on the manager’s phone and Thai on the floor tablet.
What Rezabo cannot do:
- It has no online booking page for guests (guests cannot book by themselves).
- It has no automated confirmation or reminder messages (no automated LINE or SMS notifications).
- It has no deposits, prepayments, or payment processing.
- It has no POS integration and no data export.
- It has no diner discovery platform to bring in new guests.
- It has no waitlist system and no way to call waiting guests.
Rezabo costs 1,900 THB per month or 19,000 THB per year per restaurant (excluding VAT), with 0 setup fee, 0 referral fee, and no extra charge based on booking count. For 3 restaurants, the monthly total is 5,700 THB + VAT.
Paper notebook with LINE (the do-nothing option)
Some small restaurants take bookings by phone and LINE and write them into a paper notebook at the host stand. If you run a single restaurant, take only a few bookings a day, and have one person answering both the phone and LINE next to the notebook, keeping paper costs nothing.
Where paper and LINE break down:
- When a booking comes in for a month ahead and that week’s sheet is not printed yet.
- When one staff member replies on LINE while another answers the phone, and both promise the same table.
- When walk-ins are seated without being written in the book, so the person answering the phone thinks the table is still free.
- When you are at another branch or away from the restaurant and cannot see tonight’s bookings without calling the staff.
To try it, start with one table on your next shift
You can try it free for one month. No card is needed, and nothing is charged automatically.

FAQ
Which alternative fits if I want new diners to find my restaurant in Thailand?
Look at Chope or Hungry Hub. Both operate diner-facing platforms in Thailand where people search for restaurants and promotions. Rezabo has no diner directory and does not bring in new guests.
Which alternative fits if I want guests to book online and pay a deposit?
Look at TableCheck or Eat App. Both state on their official pages that they offer online booking from your website, Google, and social channels along with upfront deposits and pre-paid bookings. Rezabo does not have guest self-booking or deposit collection.
Can my Thai floor staff and foreign manager use the same reservation book in different languages?
In Rezabo, each device can switch between Thai, English, and Japanese independently, though guest notes stay in the language they were typed in. For TableCheck, Eat App, Chope, and Hungry Hub, staff screen language settings per device are not stated on the public pages we checked, so ask each provider during a demo.
Can I use Rezabo together with a booking platform or paper notebook?
Yes, manually. Rezabo does not sync automatically with external booking sites, so if a booking comes in from another channel, your staff enter it into Rezabo just as they enter a phone or LINE booking. You can also run Rezabo next to your current paper notebook for one month during the free trial before deciding.
