Quandoo has announced it's shutting down — new bookings stop on 30 September 2026, and the platform goes offline by 31 December. Don't lose your booking channel or your guest list. We'll move your future reservations and your guests across for you, free — and you keep taking bookings with no commission. Start free forever, or Pro free for 30 days, then £89 a month.

Hi, I'm Graham — I built TableTango. On 24 March 2026 Quandoo announced it's ceasing operations after a strategic review. Per Quandoo's own update, here's what that means for you:
Bookings already in your Quandoo diary are still honoured. But after 30 September you can't take new bookings through Quandoo, and once the servers go offline your guest history and account are gone. The two jobs before then are simple: get a new booking channel live, and get your future bookings and guest list out — and that's exactly what we'll help you do, free.
Dates reflect Quandoo's published closure notice as of mid-2026 — see Quandoo's own update for the latest.
You don't have to rebuild from scratch or wrestle a spreadsheet. Send us your Quandoo export and a real person — usually me — sets it up with you:
For data protection, we don't move stored card details or payment tokens — those stay with Quandoo and your bank, and any existing paid bookings are handled as Quandoo describes. We import marketing-consent status only where your export clearly records it; we never assume consent.
We've led with the model rather than exact figures — booking platforms' tiers and fees vary by market and contract and change over time. The shape is what matters when you're choosing where to land.
| TableTango | Quandoo (closing) | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Live & UK-run | Closing — bookings end 30 Sep 2026 |
| Monthly model | Free forever, or Pro £89 — flat (first 30 days of Pro free) | Subscription, with a per-cover commission on bookings |
| Per-cover / commission fees | None, ever — on either plan | Per-cover commission on reservations |
| Who owns the diner relationship | You — 100%, never sold or shared | The marketplace tends to own discovery & the diner |
| 24/7 AI chat booking | Included free | Not a core feature |
| Guest texts (confirmations, reminders, waitlist offers, review invites) | On Pro — every text to your own guests included, no per-text charge | Depends on plan |
| Auto cancellation-fill waitlist | On Pro — auto-texts the next matching guests when a table frees | Not a prominent feature |
| Migrating your data in | Free, done-for-you | Export available before shutdown |
| Setup | Self-serve ~5 min, or we do it for you | — |
| Contract | None — cancel anytime, one email | — |

Quandoo sent you covers and charged for them. TableTango runs the bookings you already attract — your website, your Instagram bio, a Google search for your name, your regulars — with no commission on a single one, and a guest list that stays yours. Free, you get 24/7 AI chat booking, smart table assignment that prevents conflicting bookings, no-show risk scoring, and a guest book that remembers usual tables, allergies and VIPs. Go Pro for £89 and every guest text is included — confirmations, day-before reminders, the auto-filling waitlist and review invites — plus events and optional card-secured no-show fees. Worried about no-shows? See our guide to reducing restaurant no-shows, or the wider case for commission-free booking.
Quandoo announced on 24 March 2026 that it's ceasing operations. Per Quandoo's own update, new bookings stop on 30 September 2026, and the website, app and infrastructure are taken offline by 31 December 2026 — after which guest history and account data are removed. Confirmed reservations made before then are still honoured, and Quandoo's team is helping partners export their data first. Always check quandoo.co.uk for the latest.
Bookings already in your Quandoo diary are honoured up to the shutdown — you won't lose the ones already made. What you lose after 30 September is the ability to take new bookings through Quandoo, and once the servers go offline, your guest history. That's why the move to make now is getting a new booking channel live and exporting your data while you still can.
Yes, the migration is free. Send us your Quandoo export and we'll set up your future reservations and your guest list (names, contacts, visit notes and history where your export includes them), recreate your opening hours and table plan, and help you swap your booking link on your website and Google. It's founder-led — a real person does it with you. For data protection we don't move stored card details or payment tokens; those stay with Quandoo and your bank.
No — no per-cover fee and no commission on any booking, on either plan. Start free forever on Basic (AI chat booking, the form, table assignment, guest book and email confirmations and reminders — no card). Pro is £89 a month per restaurant, and your first 30 days are free; it adds all the guest texts (no per-text charge), the auto-filling waitlist, events and optional card-secured no-show fees. Prices exclude VAT — none is added while we're not VAT-registered.
Completely. Names, numbers and visit history belong to your restaurant — never sold, shared, or used to market other restaurants to your diners. TableTango is UK-made, UK-hosted and GDPR-friendly, with one-tap guest export and erasure for subject requests. We bring marketing-consent status across only where your Quandoo export clearly records it — we never invent consent.
You can set up the essentials yourself in about five minutes, or send us your details and we'll do it for you. Because Quandoo stops taking bookings on 30 September 2026, switch before then so there's no gap — set TableTango up alongside Quandoo, check everything, then make it your main booking link when you're ready. Nothing goes live until you tap 'Go live'.
Move your future bookings and guest list to TableTango — free, done for you, with no commission. Start free forever, or go Pro (first 30 days free, then £89/mo) for guest texts, the auto-filling waitlist and events. Set it up yourself in minutes, or email us and we'll handle the move.
