Quandoo stopped taking new bookings on 30 September 2026 and shuts down completely on 31 December. If your restaurant relied on it, your guests now need a new place to book a table, and you need it to work this week, not next quarter.
This is a good moment to stop depending on a portal at all. With Recipetor your restaurant gets its own booking page, with your name and logo, and you pay one flat monthly fee however many guests book. No fee per cover, ever.
What changes for your restaurant
- Before: guests booked through a marketplace app, the portal kept the relationship, and every diner had a price.
- Now: guests book on your page, from your Google profile, your Instagram or your website. The booking and the guest are yours, and 300 diners cost exactly the same as 30.
Your own booking page, ready the same week
- Unlimited bookings, €0 per cover, from €29 a month. Month to month, no lock-in.
- A page that looks like your restaurant: your logo and photos, "Open now · closes at 11:30 pm", your weekly hours and a Book button that stays within reach on mobile.
- Services and covers per sitting: when a sitting is full, your page stops offering it on its own, so you never take one booking too many.
- Online and phone bookings in one panel: list, calendar and a live table plan.
- Email confirmation for every guest, and WhatsApp confirmations from your own number on the Expert plan.
- Digital QR menu in English, Spanish, Italian and German, with the 14 allergens, on the Intermediate plan.

Switch in three steps
- Export your guest data from Quandoo while you still can: export stays available until 31 December.
- Start your free trial and set up your services, areas and tables. If you'd rather not do it yourself, we set it up with you.
- Share your new link on your Google Business Profile, Instagram and website, and take your first commission-free booking the same day.

What it costs, in plain numbers
Take a restaurant that gets 300 diners a month through a portal that charges £2 per seated diner: that's around £600 a month, or over £7,000 a year, just in cover fees. On Recipetor the same 300 diners cost the plan price and nothing else: from €29 a month + VAT where applicable.
Example for illustration: portal fees depend on each platform and contract. Recipetor is billed in euros.
Where to put your new booking link first
- Google Business Profile: add it as your booking link, so guests who find you on Maps can book straight away.
- Instagram: in your bio and your stories.
- Your website: a "Book a table" button at the top, easy to tap on a phone.
- Your regulars: a quick message or a card on the bill with your new link.
