FAQ
What does resmio cost in comparison to Gastro Master for delivery restaurants?
resmio offers three reservation tiers (Basic free, Premium €69.90/mo, Ultimate €129.90/mo). The ordering function (delivery/pickup) runs separately via 4 % commission on gross revenue OR €149.90/mo order flat-rate (per resmio.com/preise). Gastro Master works revenue-independent with fixed price: ordering system from €79/mo with 0 % commission on direct orders. At €5,000 monthly online revenue 4 % at resmio would be around €200 — with Gastro Master €79 fixed.
2026-05-07resmio offers a free Basic tier — how is it with Gastro Master?
Correct — resmio Basic costs €0/mo and includes essential reservation functions (digital reservation system, menu, simple website). If you only need a reservation function and no delivery operations, that's an attractive entry. Gastro Master is built for delivery and direct orders — here the ordering system starts at €79/mo fixed. Which provider fits depends on your main business.
2026-05-07Which provider is better for my restaurant — resmio or Gastro Master?
We deliberately do not recommend another provider. Gastro Master is built for family-led DACH restaurants with delivery or takeaway focus. If your main business is direct orders (delivery, pickup), we are the right choice. resmio has been optimized for table reservation workflows (sit-down restaurants) since 2011 — if that's your main business, the facts in the table will help you decide on your own.
What's the difference between a reservation system and an ordering system?
A reservation system manages table bookings for guests who want to dine in (sit-down). An ordering system processes online orders for delivery or pickup. resmio is primarily a reservation system with ordering function as add-on. Gastro Master is primarily an ordering system for delivery operations — with additional delivery add-ons (driver app GPS, kitchen display, self-service kiosk).
