Questions venues using Quandoo are asking

What's happening with Quandoo?

Quandoo has announced it will take down its website, app, and all infrastructure by 31 December 2026. New bookings end on 30 September 2026 — after that, guests can no longer reserve through Quandoo, and from 1 October, restaurants won’t be able to make or receive bookings via the platform. If Quandoo handles your online reservations, you need a replacement in place before that date.

When do I actually need to switch over from Quandoo?

The real deadline is 30 September — not 31 December. That three-month gap between “no new bookings” and “lights off” exists so restaurants can handle remaining reservations, but after 1 October, you have no booking system. Setting up a new platform, importing your guest data, configuring your floor plan, and training your team all takes time. The venues that switch early will have a smooth handover.

What should I look for in a replacement booking system?

A few things matter here. First, your guest data should belong to you — not the new provider. Demand is shifting more and more toward direct bookings via a restaurant’s own website or through Google, so your new system should support that — not create another layer of platform dependency. Look for commission-free direct bookings, Google Reserve integration, solid local support, and the ability to actually own your guest relationships. That’s exactly what Now Book It is built for.

What does Now Book It offer that Quandoo didn't?

Now Book It is a full reservation and guest engagement platform trusted by over 11,000 hospitality venues across Australia and New Zealand. Here’s what that means in practice:

Your guest data stays yours. No third-party ownership, no platform holding your relationships hostage.
Direct bookings from your own website and Google. No cover fees eating into your revenue.
Guest profiles and personalisation tools so you remember who walked through the door and why they came back.
24/7 support from a local, hospitality-trained team — not a generic helpdesk halfway around the world.
An AI receptionist to handle enquiries and bookings around the clock.

How long does it take to get set up on Now Book It?

Most venues are up and running quickly — and our onboarding team handles the heavy lifting. We’ll help you import your existing guest data, configure your floor plan, and get your booking widget live before your Quandoo deadline hits.

How much will it cost to switch to Now Book It from Quandoo?

Now Book It is straightforward on pricing — no per-cover fees on direct bookings, no sudden surprises. Talk to our team and we’ll walk you through exactly what you’d be paying for, and why it makes sense for your venue.
