TouchBistro Reservations is an add-on to TouchBistro's iPad POS — to use it, you adopt their point of sale and payments too. Reserve A Table is a standalone reservation platform: no POS to switch, no hardware to buy, every channel captured, including the phone.

Where TouchBistro still makes sense. TouchBistro is a well-regarded iPad POS, and its reservations add-on is a sensible choice if you already run — or plan to run — TouchBistro as your point of sale and payments. Keeping bookings inside the same system has real convenience.
But if you are happy with your current POS, adopting an entire point-of-sale platform just to manage reservations is a big commitment. Reserve A Table gives you a standalone booking system that works alongside any POS — and, unlike the TouchBistro add-on, answers your phone.
TouchBistro Reservations only runs on top of TouchBistro's iPad POS and payments. Reserve A Table is independent of your point of sale — nothing to rip out, nothing to install in the kitchen.
TouchBistro is a tablet system tied to iPad hardware. Reserve A Table runs in the browser. Your tables, hours and policies live in the cloud, and every channel switches on without new equipment.
TouchBistro's reservations module handles notes and two-way texts, but it doesn't answer incoming calls. Reserve A Table's AI voice agent picks up every call and books the table automatically, 24/7.
