What the Quandoo shutdown means for your restaurant

Quandoo has announced that it will cease operations on 30 September 2026. Existing contracts end automatically — so you do not need to cancel. Still, do not wait: your restaurant needs a new reservation system in time so guests can keep reserving online without a gap.

Timing is what matters. First secure your guest data and open reservations while you still have access to the platform. Then switch your channels calmly: the reservation link in your Google Business Profile, the booking widget on your website — and get your team on board.

VidiReserve is a reservation system from Germany with a fixed-price model: no commission, no cost per guest or cover, all features in every plan, servers in Germany. Price-wise you stay well below the former Quandoo base price — and without a cover fee, every additional guest counts fully for you again. And you are not on your own during the move: setup help and data migration are free.

A realistic timeline: export your data this week if you can, then create your new account and set it up calmly. The week after, switch your Google profile and website and brief your team. That leaves plenty of buffer before 30 September 2026 in case a question comes up — and your guests will not notice the switch at all.

What to expect at VidiReserve

VidiReserve is more than a Quandoo replacement: you get a digital reservation book with floor plan and day view, online reservations around the clock via your profile, your website widget and Google Search — plus waitlist, guest management with reservation history and reports for your planning. Your guests need neither an app nor an account: reserving takes a few clicks.

You also sell events such as wine tastings or cooking classes through the same system. All features are included in every plan — you only choose the size tier. Pay yearly and you pay 10 monthly prices, and as an existing customer you keep your price permanently thanks to the price guarantee. Hosting runs on servers in Germany, GDPR-compliant and with e-invoicing support.

Frequently asked questions

Reservations after 30 September 2026 should be exported in time and transferred to your new system. In VidiReserve you simply add them to the reservation book — for larger volumes our team helps you with the import free of charge. That way your reservation book is complete from day one.

Your restaurant's guest data is your own data — you are and remain the data controller. Export it from Quandoo before the shutdown and take it over into VidiReserve for the same purpose, managing your reservations. The servers are located in Germany and processing is GDPR-compliant. One tip: only take over what you really need — a cleaned-up guest database is worth more than a full data dump.

The basic setup is usually done in an afternoon: create the account, add tables and hours, embed the widget. With the free setup help it goes even faster — and your 30-day trial runs independently of that. Add a few days of buffer for switching your Google profile and website.

Nothing beyond your future plan price: no setup fee, free setup help, free help with the data migration. You start with a 30-day trial and then pay from €12.90 per month — without commission.
