Questions before you apply

  • How does pricing actually work?

    Free, forever. No commission on bookings, no monthly subscription, no setup fees. Not a founding-partner perk — that’s how Sidequests works for every restaurant.

  • What if I want to leave?

    Cancel anytime, no notice period. We don’t hold your listings, photos, or diner data hostage.

  • How long does setup take?

    About 20 minutes from your side. We handle photography, listing setup, and onboarding. You set the offer, we do the rest.

  • Do you compete with OpenTable, Resy, or Yelp?

    No. We complement them. Use Sidequests to fill the shifts your existing platforms don’t reach, without paying twice for the same diner.

  • Who’s behind Sidequests?

    A small team that has spent years working with independent restaurants. We started Sidequests because we got tired of watching great restaurants empty on a Tuesday while paying commissions on the diners they would’ve had anyway.
