Enterprise software at enterprise prices — independent restaurants need a different tool

SevenRooms is enterprise software with enterprise pricing. Shopolo is built for independent operators.

SevenRooms is designed for hotel restaurant groups, large chains, and high-volume venues. Its pricing reflects that — $400 to $1,000+ per month with annual contracts. If you're an independent restaurant or café, you're paying for features built for a 400-cover operation, not yours. Shopolo starts at $29/month and is built specifically for independent businesses.

SevenRooms guest intelligence is powerful — but most independent restaurants don't need it.

SevenRooms is known for deep guest profiles: lifetime spend, dietary tags, VIP notes, table preferences. For a fine-dining restaurant with regulars who expect to be remembered, that depth is valuable. For a neighbourhood bistro taking 30 reservations a night, the complexity adds overhead without proportional benefit. Shopolo gives you the core — name, email, visit history — and keeps it simple.

Shopolo bundles reservations with the full suite. SevenRooms is reservations and CRM only.

SevenRooms covers reservations and guest intelligence. For gift cards, loyalty, commission-free ordering, and email campaigns, you need separate tools and subscriptions. Shopolo includes all of those alongside reservations from one dashboard — at a fraction of the combined cost.

When SevenRooms is the right choice

SevenRooms is the right choice for high-volume, full-service restaurants and hotel F&B groups that genuinely need deep guest intelligence, advanced floor management, and CRM-level guest profiles. If your operation seats 200+ covers a night and guest recognition is core to the experience, SevenRooms' depth justifies the cost. For independent restaurants doing 30–80 covers per service, Shopolo provides everything you actually need at a sustainable price.
