Our verdict on simpleERB
simpleERB is cloud-based restaurant reservation and table management software for independent restaurants, cafes, pubs, hotels and small groups. It combines online booking channels with table management, floor plans, table ranking, waitlists, automated email and SMS reminders, customer records, reporting, deposits, prepayments, card capture and no-show protection. The service supports web, iOS and Android, making it suitable for teams that manage reservations across multiple devices.
Its plan structure is based on monthly cover volume rather than per-user fees. Starter includes all standard features for up to 300 covers per month, while Plus raises that allowance to 1,200 covers. Pro adds payments and card capture with unlimited monthly covers. Small Chain provides unlimited covers for up to five restaurants and includes all standard features. The product is paid, and it offers a 250-cover trial without requiring a credit card rather than a permanent unrestricted free plan. Restaurants should compare expected booking volume and payment needs before choosing a tier.
The booking and ecosystem coverage is a strong fit for restaurants that want one system across owned and social channels. Customers can book through a website widget and through Google, Facebook and Instagram, while integrations with Epos Now, Stripe and takepayments support operational and payment workflows. Email, phone and documentation support are available, and the listed compliance coverage includes GDPR and PCI DSS. simpleERB suits small and mid-market operators that need broad core reservation features, waitlists, reminders and guest records without focusing on a single booking channel. Restaurants seeking a permanent free product or a chain setup beyond five locations should consider alternatives with a different pricing or location model.
