Same tech. Without the platform tax.

No — it 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.

Covered supports a waitlist that collects diner contact details when you’re fully booked and notifies them (by email and SMS) the moment a table frees up. It doesn’t replicate Resy’s consumer-app push notifications — those only work inside Resy’s ecosystem — but for direct site traffic the mechanics are equivalent.

Yes — we’re honest about that. Covered doesn’t run a consumer marketplace, so restaurants that rely heavily on Resy’s app for cover volume should think carefully. If most of your bookings come directly (website, Google, Instagram, regulars) the trade to £49 flat is straightforward. If a meaningful share comes from Resy’s network, run the maths or email us — we’ll tell you honestly whether Covered suits you.

Covered includes guest profiles, visit history, spend, notes, allergens, tags, and preferences — everything a service team needs to recognise a regular. It’s included in the £49 with no per-seat upgrades. It’s not positioned as a marketing-automation suite; if you need multi-step email drip sequences you’d pair it with a tool like Mailchimp. Guest data exports cleanly to CSV/JSON at any time.

Card and payment-method data is held by Resy’s payment processor and generally can’t be migrated — PCI rules don’t allow it. In practice that means you re-capture card-on-file at the next booking; guests who had a deposit held with Resy will need to re-confirm in Covered. We’ll draft the transition email for you so nobody feels blindsided.

Yes. Covered is a Google Reserve partner. When you switch we re-point the Google Reserve link to Covered and bookings flow in exactly as before — there’s no visibility drop on Google Search or Maps.

Signing up fresh: an afternoon. Migrating from Resy: budget a week so we can map the data properly and you can test the widget on a staging link before flipping over. No mandatory onboarding fee either way.
