Industry pricing

How much CoverManager costs: what's known and what isn't.

CoverManager doesn't publish its rates: pricing is quoted case by case, based on your venue, volume and the modules you take. We're not going to invent a figure. What we can do is explain how that kind of pricing works, lay out what public sources say —and they contradict each other— and give you the exact questions worth asking before you sign anything.

The short answer

There's no public rate, and that's the honest answer.

CoverManager has no pricing page. To know what it would cost you, you request a demo and their sales team sends a proposal based on your details: number of venues, booking volume and which modules you want (reservations, delivery, surveys, POS integrations…).

That's not unusual in hospitality software: custom pricing lets them tailor the proposal to each business. But it has a practical consequence for you: you can't compare before talking to a salesperson, and you don't know whether the price you're quoted is the same one the place down the street gets.

If what you need is a figure to run your numbers today, the only serious way is to ask them for a quote. Any number you read elsewhere —including the ones we lay out below— comes from third parties and isn't confirmed by the company.

The model

How a price like that is built, piece by piece.

Even without the figure, you can anticipate the structure, because it's the usual one for this kind of product. There's typically a monthly fee per venue that varies by plan; modules contracted separately that add to that fee; and, in some models, a variable cost tied to volume —per booking or per cover— which makes the bill climb in the months you do well.

That last part is the one worth clarifying before signing, because it's what turns a fixed, predictable cost into a variable one. Paying a flat fee isn't the same as paying a fee plus an amount for every booking that comes in: at high volume, the second option can multiply the bill.

And there's a third leg people forget: lock-in. A good price with a two-year contract isn't the same price. Always ask about duration, the notice period to cancel, and what happens to your data if you leave.

The sources

What third parties say (and why they don't agree).

If you search for the price on Google you'll find scattered figures on blogs and comparison sites. Read them knowing three things: CoverManager doesn't publish them, they don't always say where they come from, and they don't agree with each other.

An industry analysis published by ChefBusiness details plans starting around €79/month for a basic tier and €169/month for a premium one (with lower promotional pricing for the first months), advanced plans reaching some €349/month, and adds a per-booking cost of around €1.50. On those assumptions, its own example for 150 bookings a month goes above €300 monthly. Other pages ranking for the same search, meanwhile, give no figures at all and simply point you to request a quote.

That discrepancy is exactly the problem: there's no official source to settle it. Treat it as what it is —an indicative third-party reference, consulted in July 2026 and not confirmed by the company— and always check it against the proposal you're given. Prices change, and yours will depend on your case.

Before you sign

Seven questions that save you grief.

It doesn't matter who you end up working with —them, us or a third party—: these are the questions that turn a nice-looking proposal into an informed decision. Ask for them in writing.

1. What's the monthly fee per venue, with everything I need included? Get a breakdown of which modules are in and which aren't. 2. Is there any variable cost? Per booking, per cover, per SMS, per payment gateway. And if so, at what volume it starts to hurt. 3. How long is the contract and how much notice do I need to leave? 4. Is there a setup, migration or training fee? 5. Does the price rise on renewal? If year one is promotional, get year two's price in writing. 6. Can I export my customers and bookings whenever I want, and in what format? Your data should be able to leave without asking permission. 7. Who do I talk to when something breaks at 9:30pm on a Saturday?

If an answer is vague, that alone isn't a red flag, but it is a reason to keep pushing until it's clear.

The other option

What this looks like when the price is public.

Qomanda exists partly because it struck us as odd to have to call a salesperson to find out what software costs. Our price is on the website: €49 a month per restaurant, with everything reservation-related included, no per-cover or per-booking commission and no lock-in. You can try it free for 30 days without giving a card, and cancel if it doesn't pay off.

That €49 covers everything reservation-related: your own engine in 12 languages with automatic detection, floor plan, CRM with each customer's history, analytics, waiting list, Stripe deposits against no-shows, SMS reminders and a voice bot that answers the phone when nobody can. No modules quoted separately.

Coming from another system, you bring your customers and their history over with a CSV. Running several venues, you manage them from the same account at €49 each. And if you ever leave, you leave: there's no lock-in holding you.

Questions

Before you make the move.

What restaurants thinking about switching usually ask us. No fine print.

No. CoverManager has no pricing page: the price is quoted case by case after a demo, based on your venue, booking volume and the modules you take. The figures circulating on blogs come from third parties, vary between sources and aren't confirmed by the company.
