Hostme review
A broad front-of-house suite for reservations, ordering, events, and guest management.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hostme is front-of-house management software for full-service restaurants, bars, clubs, wineries, breweries, and restaurant groups. It brings reservations, online booking, waitlists, floor plans, table management, guest profiles, online ordering, menu editing, events, server rotation, booking channels, and marketing campaigns into one platform. Restaurants can access it through web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, making it suitable for teams that need reservation operations plus a lighter ordering layer.
Pricing is structured around two monthly plans and an enterprise option. Mezzo costs $109 per month and includes unlimited parties, one free upcoming event per month, comprehensive analytics reports, unlimited SMS and WhatsApp messages, premium support, and online ordering. Grande costs $169 per month and adds five free upcoming events per month and dedicated support, while retaining the other listed highlights. The published pricing also shows a 14-day free trial and a 10% annual-plan discount. Enterprise has custom pricing for businesses with 10 or more units and includes dedicated support, online ordering, and POS integration.
The platform’s breadth is its main strength for restaurants that want more than reservation booking. Its integrations include Facebook, Instagram, Google, WhatsApp, and restaurant POS systems such as Aloha, Heartland Restaurant POS, iiko, Lavu, Lightspeed, Maitre'D, Oracle Micros, PAR Brink, POSItouch, and Square POS. Marketing through email, SMS, and WhatsApp, plus event ticketing and server rotation, extends the front-of-house toolkit. Hostme is a strong fit for restaurants prioritizing reservations, guest relationships, waitlists, and light ordering. Businesses seeking comprehensive staff scheduling or a deeper all-in-one restaurant management system should consider alternatives.
