Tock charges $199–$699/month plus 2–3% on prepaid bookings, and is built for ticketed dining experiences. Shopolo offers straightforward table reservations in every plan from $29/month — no per-reservation fees, no ticketing complexity.

Tock's standout feature is prepaid and ticketed reservations — ideal for tasting menus, chef's tables, pop-ups, and special events where no-shows are costly and you want prepayment. If you're running a casual restaurant or café that takes regular reservations without deposits, Tock's complexity and $199–$699/mo price tag are solving a problem you don't have.
When guests book a $150/person tasting menu through Tock, you pay $3–$4.50 per cover to the platform on top of the monthly subscription. Standard free reservations avoid this, but then you lose the prepayment protection Tock is known for. Shopolo has no per-reservation fee — every booking is included in the flat monthly plan.
Tock specialises in dining experiences and prepaid reservations. For the tools independent restaurants use daily — gift cards, loyalty stamps, commission-free ordering, email campaigns — you need separate subscriptions. Shopolo covers all of these from one dashboard alongside table management.
Tock is the right choice if no-show prevention is a serious problem for your restaurant — tasting menus, omakase, pop-ups, and chef's table formats where a cancellation means significant lost revenue. The prepayment system genuinely solves that. For restaurants that take standard reservations without deposits and want a simple, affordable system that also handles gift cards and loyalty, Shopolo is the better fit.
No hardware. No setup fees. Gift cards, loyalty, ordering, and bookings — live in under 10 minutes.
