Restaurant reservations without the per-cover fees

TableLink is reservation and table management for independent restaurants — without the per-cover fees or long contracts the big platforms require. One flat monthly price covers your branded booking page, a real-time floor plan you run from any iPad, waitlist, walk-ins, and guest profiles. No commission on seats, no setup fees. Your guests, your data, your floor — built for the host stand first: tap to seat, drag to combine tables, and see the whole service at a glance.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Craig, founder of TableLink.
Here's why I built it. I was up in Mammoth with my family, a small ski town we go to, trying to book a restaurant we love. I checked OpenTable, I checked Resy, I searched around online. Nothing. No way to book. So I went to the restaurant's own site, and the only option was a "call us" link. I called and got a voicemail. An actual answering machine, like something from the 80s. I left a message.
Found a second place on Google Maps. No booking link there either, just "text us." So I texted. An hour later they wrote back, and we went back and forth five times before landing on: nothing open that worked for us. Then the first place finally called me back, about three hours later, and I went back and forth with that guy on the phone too. I did get the reservation in the end. But it ate up half my day, and in 2026 that felt ridiculous.
I couldn't figure out why these places weren't on a major platform, so I started digging. Then I saw what the platforms charge, and it clicked. What they're really selling is discovery. But in a town like Mammoth, or most towns, you don't need discovery. You already know the spots, or you pull up Google Maps, type in "restaurants," and tap through to their sites. What you actually need is a clean way to book once you're there.
So I built TableLink. It runs on AWS, so it's fast and reliable, at a flat monthly price with no per-cover fees. Reservations, floor plan, waitlist, and guest profiles, all in one place.
Would love your feedback, especially from anyone who's worked a floor.
