SevenRooms is a strong product, but built for enterprise buyers with custom quotes, US-focus and marketing as a separate module. TableFlow brings comparable features to mid-market — transparently priced, EU-native, with AI included.

SevenRooms is a strong product — let's be clear about that. For enterprise chains with 50+ venues, in-house IT teams and custom-integration needs, their stack is impressive.
TableFlow is built for mid-market. A restaurant with 1-10 venues, an operator who wants to steer themselves, a team that doesn't want to do an English-language enterprise implementation. Hence transparent pricing on the website, fast self-service onboarding, direct support instead of an account-manager funnel.
Hearing from operators that they're "too small" for SevenRooms? Then you're probably perfect for TableFlow. Same feature DNA — events pipeline, marketing automation, AI layer — without enterprise overhead.
