Reservation management vs marketing platform
Plateform was born from the collaboration between RistoratoreTOP (a marketing consultancy for restaurants) and Nexis (a software house). Its nature is marketing-first: email campaigns, SMS, WhatsApp, loyalty programs, review management, Wi-Fi marketing, gift cards. Reservations are just one of many features. Coperti is a pure reservation management tool: visual timeline, interactive floor plan, guest CRM, AI table suggestions. It does one thing and does it well, without unnecessary complexity.
The real cost of Plateform
Plateform's Small plan costs €79/month, but for WhatsApp confirmations (essential in Italy) you need to add the WhatsApp Premium module at €39/month. Want the PlateCall auto-answering system too? Another €39/month. Plus €149 base setup fee and €149 for PlateCall. In the first year, a small restaurant with WhatsApp and PlateCall pays over €2,100. With Coperti the cost is clear: €69/month, or €690/year on the annual plan (2 months free). Everything included, no add-on modules.
Simplicity vs 20+ tools
Plateform offers over 20 different tools. For a large restaurant with a dedicated marketing team, this breadth can be an advantage. But for a trattoria with 40 covers that just wants to manage reservations without complications, 20+ tools mean complexity, learning time, and features you'll never use. Coperti gives you what you actually need during service: reservations, floor plan, CRM, and automatic confirmations.
