The short version

Where TableSpark is stronger
- Bookings and sit-down restaurants. Growth and Full add live availability, floor plans, deposits, reminders and a waitlist, and Chefzi's reservations are simple requests with no deposits.
- Several sites on one login. Full covers up to five sites on one bill.
- Dine-in extras. TableSpark describes a buffet mode for dine-in and a live order tracker for guests.
Where Chefzi is stronger for a takeaway
- Ordering from £9 a month, not £69. On TableSpark you need Full for online orders. Chefzi puts the ordering website and the order-taking app on Starter.
- A phone or tablet you already own. Orders arrive in the Chefzi Orders app, with an offline text and call if the device drops.
- Your own branded Android app on Pro. Customers on any phone can still order on your website.
- Menu set-up with you. Chefzi sets up your menu with you on a short call, and you can be live in 24 to 48 hours.
Cost over a year
Our arithmetic from the published prices, excluding VAT and card processing:
| Need | TableSpark | Chefzi |
|---|---|---|
| Ordering website with collection and delivery | Full £690 a year if paid yearly (£69 a month) | Starter £108 a year if billed annually (£12 a month) |
| Ordering, card payments and marketing | Full £690 a year, plus Stripe's card charges | Plus £228 a year if billed annually (£22 a month), plus your processor's fees |
Which should you pick?
Choose TableSpark if you run a sit-down restaurant where bookings, floor plans and deposits matter every service, or you operate up to five sites and want one login. Choose Chefzi if you are mainly a takeaway or a restaurant that wants direct collection and delivery orders on your own website at the lowest monthly cost, with an order alert that does not depend on the tablet staying online.
