Overview

Libro is a reservation and guest management platform that, per the vendor's news post, OpenTable acquired in April 2026. It has a digital waitlist and table tools. There is no public pricing, so you book a demo to get a quote.

Buying style: Sales-led How we compare

Libro is a reservation system first, with guest tools around it. If your restaurant runs on bookings and you want the same screen to handle walk-ins, this is the kind of product it is. It offers a digital waitlist that automates wait times, place in line and table-ready alerts, plus table optimization that combines tables so larger parties fit.

The vendor’s own description covers guest messaging. Confirmations and reminders go out by email or SMS, two-way SMS lets guests reply, and surveys go out by email and SMS after a visit. For a host, that means fewer calls to the front desk on a busy Friday.

On the POS side, the partners page describes a two-way Silverware link and integrations with Lightspeed K and L series, Maitre’D and Veloce. A Reserve with Google link and Meta and TripAdvisor review feeds are also listed.

The company behind it is Application Libro Inc., based in Montreal. The vendor’s April 2026 news post says OpenTable acquired it and that Libro will keep operating under its own name while integration is phased in. Buying is sales-led: pricing is not published, no trial is stated, and the only path is a demo. Terms invoice monthly in advance, and card processing fees pass through at cost.
