How much is CoverManager and what is it for?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Updated
CoverManager is a table-booking system for restaurants: it manages reservations, the waitlist, capacity and reviews. Its price is not published on its site; it is given by demo or quote. It is a different tool from Menuthere, which handles online ordering and the QR menu; Menuthere does offer basic table-slot booking (on Lite) but is not a full reservations engine. Updated October 2026.
- CoverManager specialises in table reservations, waitlist, capacity control and reviews.
- Its price is not published on its site: it is given by demo or quote (not published).
- Menuthere solves a different need: a QR menu, your own orders (table, pickup, delivery) and 0% commission.
- Menuthere does allow table-slot booking and pre-orders (prebooking, on Lite), not a reservations engine with capacity.
- They can coexist: CoverManager for reservations and Menuthere for the menu and commission-free orders.
Menu, orders and slot booking
Menuthere gives you a QR menu, your own commission-free orders and table-slot booking with pre-orders on the Lite plan. If you need a reservations engine with capacity and a waitlist, a specialist tool like CoverManager fits that.
What exactly is CoverManager for?
CoverManager is booking software built for table-service restaurants. It centralises the reservations that come in by phone, web, Google or social, manages the waitlist and capacity, and collects customer reviews. Its focus is filling the room and organising shifts, not building a digital menu or taking food orders for pickup or delivery.
How much does CoverManager cost?
CoverManager does not publish its price on its site: it gives it by demo or quote, depending on the size of the restaurant and the modules you need. Since it is not published, any specific figure would be a guess. For a real number, ask through its site. Menuthere, by contrast, publishes its price: a Free plan at $0 and Lite at $17/month.
| Need | CoverManager | Menuthere |
|---|---|---|
| Table reservations and capacity | Yes (specialist) | Basic slot booking (Lite) |
| Commission-free online ordering | Not its focus | Yes, 0% |
| QR menu | Not published | Yes (Free) |
| Price | Not published (by demo) | Free $0 / Lite $17 |
Do I need CoverManager or is Menuthere enough?
It depends on your need. If you want to manage table reservations, capacity and a waitlist, a specialist tool like CoverManager fits better. If you want a QR menu and to take your own orders (table, pickup or delivery) with no commission, Menuthere is enough. Many restaurants use both: one to book and the other for the menu and the orders.
Who this is a good fit for
- Table-service restaurants that want to add a QR menu and commission-free orders to what they already use to book.
- Places that want to start free with the menu and orders and grow only when they need to.
- Owners who want to accept table-slot bookings and basic pre-orders (on the Lite plan).
Who this is not for
- Restaurants whose main need is a reservations engine with capacity, shifts and a waitlist: a specialist tool like CoverManager fits that better.
- Anyone looking for review management and an advanced reservations desk; Menuthere does not replace that.
Common follow-up questions
Does CoverManager also do online ordering?
Its focus is table booking, capacity and reviews, not a QR menu or pickup and delivery orders. For that you can use Menuthere, with 0% commission, alongside CoverManager.
Does Menuthere do table reservations like CoverManager?
Menuthere allows table-slot booking and pre-orders (prebooking, on the Lite plan), but it is not a full reservations engine with capacity and a waitlist. A specialist tool fits that better.
Can I use both at once?
Yes. It is common to use a booking system for the room and Menuthere for the QR menu and your own commission-free orders. Each covers its part.
