Give repeat guests a direct habit
Guests who already know the Business should not have to re-enter a marketplace just to reserve, view the menu, or confirm policy details.
Keep discovery and ownership in balance
A practical strategy may still use marketplaces for new demand while moving owned traffic, loyal guests, and high-intent searches into the direct booking path.

Your questions, answered
Does commission-free mean no payment processing cost?
No. Commission-free refers to avoiding Tableee cover fees and booking commissions for direct bookings. Online payments use local Stripe rates plus a 1% Tableee commerce fee.
When is a marketplace still useful?
A marketplace can be useful for discovery, travel demand, or new diner acquisition. Tableee is strongest when the Business wants direct conversion and operational control.
Can Tableee replace a marketplace overnight?
Most teams phase the change by adding direct widgets, tracking conversion, and moving owned channels first before reducing dependence on marketplace links.
