Start with your current system
If your point-of-sale or booking system already knows your guests, check its email features first. Moving guest data between products can add work and make results harder to measure.
- Square: email collection and campaign reporting are connected to its point-of-sale system.
- Toast: restaurant email campaigns use guest and ordering data from its platform.
- Mailchimp: a general email platform with a restaurant-focused offering.
- SevenRooms: guest relationship and marketing tools tied to reservations.
Compare the work, not only the price
Ask how you will collect permission, import existing contacts, create a campaign, send a test, and see bookings or orders. A cheap monthly plan can still cost your team time if the workflow is awkward.
- Can your staff use it without training?
- Does it connect to your orders or reservations?
- Can it welcome and re-engage guests automatically?
- Can you see real campaign actions?
- Can guests unsubscribe easily?
Try one campaign before committing
Write a real email, send yourself a test, and check the final booking or order path. Confirm current pricing and plan limits on each provider site before buying.
Check the current details directly with Square, Toast, Mailchimp, and SevenRooms.
Make this email your own
Use the generator to turn your real restaurant details into a draft. Check every offer, date, and link before you send it to guests who chose to hear from you.
