Why Restaurants Choose Aedan Rose Over Resy

Resy is a great reservation tool for premium dining. But for restaurants that want the reservation book and everything around it, Aedan Rose brings it into one platform with per-location pricing.

Start on your terms

No monthly minimum to begin. Start on the Free (Perfect Start) plan, try paid plans free for 30 days, and upgrade only when you need more.

More than reservations

Resy handles reservations. Aedan Rose handles reservations, online ordering, team scheduling, loyalty & CRM, analytics, and a guest-facing AI — all in one platform.

Works everywhere

Not limited to major metro markets. Whether you are in downtown Manhattan or a small town in Montana, Aedan Rose gives you the same powerful tools.

The Aedan Rose Copilot

On the Manager plan, an agentic AI reads your data and gets work done — building schedules, messaging staff, editing the menu and managing CRM, with your approval. Not just a booking widget.

What Resy Does Well

We believe in honesty. Resy is a strong platform with real advantages, especially for certain types of restaurants.

Strong brand in premium dining: Resy has built deep trust with upscale restaurants and their diners, particularly in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Their consumer-facing app drives discovery for high-end venues.

Excellent UI/UX for high-end guest experience: Resy's reservation interface is polished and elegant, matching the expectations of premium dining guests. Their guest-facing experience is well-regarded in the industry.

No per-cover fees: Like Aedan Rose, Resy uses flat-rate pricing without charging per reservation. This gives restaurants cost predictability as they grow.

AmEx backing and Tock merger = large network: Resy is backed by American Express and merged with Tock, giving it a large network of restaurants and diners. This scale provides built-in marketing exposure for listed restaurants.

What Switching Saves

Resy's flat, no-per-cover model is fair — we share it. The difference is scope: Resy covers reservations, and it is owned by American Express and merging with Tock, so plans and pricing may shift. Aedan Rose's Full House plan is a listed $299/mo, month-to-month, and adds online ordering, guest AI, loyalty and marketing to the reservation book; a leaner $79/mo tier covers ordering, guest AI, loyalty and marketing without the reservation book.

Typical monthly cost with Resy: a flat reservations-focused subscription (paid plans start around $249/mo), with the Amex/Tock merger underway.

Aedan Rose Full House at $299/mo: the reservation book plus ordering, guest AI, loyalty and marketing — one bill, listed pricing. A leaner $79/mo tier covers ordering and guest AI without the reservation book, and the Manager plan at $949/mo adds the agentic Copilot. Month-to-month. See full pricing.

Switching from Resy is low-risk

You don't have to flip a switch overnight. Test Aedan Rose alongside Resy, then move at your own pace.

Run both in parallel: Start on the free plan or a 30-day trial and take live bookings and orders in Aedan Rose while Resy keeps running — no need to switch everything at once.

Rebuild your room quickly: Set up your tables, sections and VIP areas in the drag-and-drop floor plan editor, and your guest-facing AI and CRM are ready from day one.

No lock-in: Aedan Rose is month-to-month — cancel anytime. If it's not a fit, you've lost nothing but time.

Guided onboarding on the Manager plan: Dedicated onboarding and an account manager help you get set up. Have questions first? Talk to our team.
