Updated 13 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
In short: if online ordering is the reason you want a website, Chefzi costs less. TableSpark's own pricing page (read 13 November 2026) puts online ordering on its Full plan at £69 a month; its Starter (£19) and Growth (£39) plans build the website, menu and bookings but do not take orders. Chefzi includes an ordering website on every plan: Starter £12 a month (£9 billed annually), Plus £22 (£19) and Pro £49 (£39), per location, ex VAT. Both charge 0% commission. Chefzi's first month is free with no card, and plans are month to month.
If you mainly want a sit-down restaurant website with floor plans, deposits and booking reminders, TableSpark's Growth plan is built for that, and you may prefer it. We make Chefzi, so we are not neutral. TableSpark facts come from its own pages with the date we read them.

Which should you choose?
Choose TableSpark if you run a sit-down restaurant where table bookings with deposits matter more than takeaway orders. Choose Chefzi if collection and delivery orders are the point of the website, especially for a takeaway, kebab shop, grill or curry house where most orders are placed on a phone. Leaving TableSpark?
