How switching actually works.
Self-serve CSV import for Resy exports, plus a human option if you’d rather have us run it for you.
Step 01
Export
Ask Resy in writing for an export of your bookings and guest data. We’ll help you word the request if you like.
Step 02
Map
Drop the file into the in-app importer (Settings → Migrate). It recognises Resy's export and maps bookings, guest contact details and notes for you. If you'd rather we ran the import for you, just ask.
Step 03
Launch
Embed the widget on your site, point your booking links at Covered, and you’re live.

Common objections, answered honestly.
Questions about moving from Resy to Covered, and our answers.
I’m in a Resy contract. Does that block switching?
No, it only delays it. You can run Covered alongside Resy during your notice period, pointing new direct bookings to Covered while legacy ones wind down. When your Resy term ends you simply switch it off. We’ll help you plan the crossover so you don’t double-pay a day longer than you need to.
Does Covered have a waitlist?
Yes. When you’re fully booked, guests can leave their details, and Covered emails them when a matching table frees up because a booking was cancelled.
Will I lose my Resy app placement?
Yes. If you leave Resy, diners can no longer book you through it, and Covered doesn’t run a consumer marketplace of its own. If most of your bookings come to you directly (website, Google, Instagram, regulars), the move to £49 flat is simple. If a meaningful share comes through Resy, check your own numbers first, or email us and we’ll tell you honestly whether Covered suits you.
How does Covered's CRM compare?
Covered includes guest profiles, visit history, pre-order spend, notes, allergens, tags and preferences, so your team can recognise a regular. It’s included in the £49 with no per-seat upgrades. It is not a marketing-automation suite. If you need multi-step email sequences, you can export your guest list to CSV and use a separate email tool. Guest data exports to CSV or JSON at any time.
What about existing deposits and saved cards?
Covered does not import saved card details from any other system, so guests add a card again at their next booking if you ask for one. Deposits guests have already paid stay with the payment account that took them. We’ll help you write the email to guests so nobody is caught out.
What happens to my Reserve with Google button?
If your Reserve with Google button runs through Resy, it goes when Resy does, and this is the one place where switching costs you something. Reserve with Google is a partner programme and Covered is not an approved partner yet, so we cannot take over a Reserve booking button and nobody can simply re-point one. Your Google Business Profile and your Google reviews stay as they are. If that in-Google booking button drives a meaningful share of your covers, say so before you commit and we will tell you honestly whether to wait.
How fast can we go live?
Starting fresh: we set up your account with you and agree the day you go live, and after that you run it yourself from the dashboard. Migrating from Resy: budget a week so we can map the data properly and you can test the widget before flipping over. No setup fee either way.
