Pricing
What you pay.
One flat price per venue
The whole platform, priced per venue and sized to your estate on one call.
- No fee for seating your own guests, ever
- Wi-Fi capture, loyalty, reviews and marketing included
- Your guest data is yours to keep and export at any time
- Onboarding and support included on every plan
OpenTable
Plans and fees on request
No figures quoted here. Ask OpenTable for its current plans and any per-cover fees, then set them against one flat Stampede price.
- Diners who book through the OpenTable marketplace are OpenTable’s data, as controller
- Loyalty is OpenTable Regulars and Bonus Points, a network-wide diner scheme rather than your own
- Part of Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), not an independent platform
Why switch
The short version.
Why venues switch to
- If your brand matters, Stampede is the choice: every venue gets its own fully branded booking page, and one brand kit carries it across menus, events, emails, the wallet card and the Wi-Fi splash, not a listing on someone else’s marketplace.
- You want to own your guest data, not rent diners from a network.
- You want Wi-Fi capture, loyalty and reviews feeding one profile, not just bookings.
- You want one flat price per venue for the whole platform, with no per-cover fees.
- You want your data future-proofed for AI, with one guest record you own rather than bookings held inside a diner network.
Where it falls short
OpenTable only fits if
- You want the reach of the OpenTable consumer marketplace to fill covers.
- Being on the big diner network matters more to you than owning the relationship.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Yes. Stampede does online bookings, waitlist, floor plans and deposits, with no per-cover fees, and adds native guest Wi-Fi capture, a loyalty programme you own, and marketing, all feeding a guest profile you keep. The one thing OpenTable has that Stampede does not is its consumer diner marketplace.
Because AI is only as good as the data beneath it. OpenTable holds your bookings, diners from its network are its own, and it publishes no guest Wi-Fi capture. On Stampede, every booking, Wi-Fi login, Square payment, loyalty point and review lands on one guest record as it happens, so our AI agent answers from your data, not a guess, and asks before it acts.
For diners who find you through the OpenTable marketplace, OpenTable is the controller of that data, not the venue. With Stampede, every guest you capture is yours to keep, export and market to.
Yes, and we do it for you. Give us your logins and our team brings your bookings, guests and history across. Many venues keep OpenTable for network covers and run everything else on Stampede.
Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), the US-listed travel group behind Booking.com, Priceline and Kayak, which acquired OpenTable in 2014. Stampede is independent.
Yes, every page of it. Each venue gets its own fully branded booking page, with your logo, colours, fonts, photography, menus and what’s on. One brand kit then carries it to the emails, wallet card and Wi-Fi splash. OpenTable publishes no venue wallet card or Wi-Fi splash for your brand to reach. If your brand matters, Stampede is the choice.
