Tools for restaurants and cafes — the short answers

Every number here comes from our own daily check — not from a vendor list.

Tools for restaurants and cafes — how many are there?
Tablif is tracking 248 of them. 241 answered our check today, and 6 we couldn't reach — we don't claim those are dead.
Which ones are still maintained?
Tablif knocks on every door once a day and records the answer. 241 of these 248 responded on the latest run, so that number is what "still here" means on this page — not a review score.
Are any of them free?
32 of the live ones say so in their own words, and 10 let you start without making an account. Tablif records the claim the product makes; we don't verify pricing.
Any open-source options?
5 of the live ones on Tablif mention being open source.
What's the newest one?
Twintable — Tablif first saw it yesterday.
Did a person actually look at these?
243 of them Tablif opened and read, then wrote a one-line summary in our own words instead of reusing the founder's tagline. The rest carry keyword labels we haven't confirmed by reading yet — and we say so rather than hiding it.
