Walk into any independent Australian venue and you'll find the same pattern: three or four subscriptions paying for things that overlap, one critical gap no tool is covering, and an
● Quandoo Alternative — Australia
Quandoo is leaving. We're not.
WOWAPPS is Australia's all-in-one, commission-free venue platform. Bookings, ordering, loyalty, marketing and delivery — built for independent venues, with one goal: more customers, spending more, more often.
Reserve with Google
Don't lose your Google button.
Reserve with Google lets customers book directly from Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Assistant — right where they're already looking. And WOWAPPS is the only Australian-owned platform that offers it.
WOWAPPS is an official Google Reserve and Google Order partner.
You had it with Quandoo. Switching to a platform that can't offer the same connection means going backwards — losing direct bookings from Google at the exact moment a customer is ready to act.
$0
Commission on every Google booking through WOWAPPS
Heads Up - Read This Carefully
Not every platform can connect to Reserve with Google.
Some reservation platforms in Australia cannot connect to Reserve with Google at all. Without it, your venue is invisible to customers searching on Google Maps and Search at the exact moment they're ready to book. In a market where 1 in 3 diners discover restaurants through Google, that's not a feature gap — it's a direct revenue problem.
The Full Platform
More than just reservations.
One platform. Eight tools. If you're switching platforms anyway, switch once — to something that actually grows your revenue.
Zero commission
Delivery + Takeaway
Commission - Free Delivery
Keep every dollar from every order.
Third-party delivery platforms charge 15–30% per order. On a $60 order, that's up to $18 gone before it hits your account. WOWAPPS handles online ordering and delivery with zero commission — your menu, your brand, your margin, straight to your kitchen printer.

Events & Ticketing
Fill tables for every occasion.
From Valentine's Day dinners to ticketed degustation evenings — WOWAPPS handles event bookings, deposits, pre-paid tickets, and capacity management. Capture revenue upfront, reduce no-shows, and sell your venue on its busiest nights without paying commission on a single ticket.
Email · SMS · Wallet
Automated
Campaigns - Email, SMS & Wallet
Bring customers back — automatically.
An empty table on a Tuesday doesn't have to stay empty. WOWAPPS campaigns let you send targeted email and SMS to your customer database — segmented by visit history, spend, or booking type. Add Apple and Google Wallet passes to turn every booking into a loyalty touchpoint. Most marketing platforms charge hundreds per month just for email. It's included.
AI Powered
24/7 Reservations + Orders
Lois by wowapps - ai automation
Your AI that answers calls, takes bookings, and handles orders. Around the clock.
Lois is WOWAPPS's built-in AI phone answering system. When a customer calls during service, Lois answers, takes the reservation, answers FAQs, and handles ordering — without taking a single staff member off the floor. Competing AI phone answering tools charge $450–$600 USD per month. Lois is included — no extra fee.

QR Ordering

QR CODE & ONLINE Orderings
Order from anywhere. Paid before they leave.
Customers scan the QR code on their table and order directly — no app download, no waiting for a staff member. Orders go straight to the kitchen. Payments processed on the spot. For online ordering from your website or Google Business Profile, the same system handles it — commission-free, direct to you.
Instant Revenue
Digital · Branded
e-gift cards
Revenue before they've set foot in the door.
Digital gift cards are among the highest-margin products a venue can sell. No fulfilment cost, instant delivery, and customers who redeem gift cards consistently spend more than the card value. WOWAPPS integrates e-gift cards directly into your website — branded, seamless, and yours to keep
Your Brand
App Store + Google Play
Branded loyalty APP
Your own app. Your regulars. Nobody else's platform.
WOWAPPS builds and manages a branded loyalty app in the App Store and Google Play — under your venue's name, with your branding. Loyalty points, push notifications, direct ordering, and a channel to your regulars that no marketplace can reach into. The customer is on your app — not a competitor's.

Get found. Before they even open Google.
WOWAPPS venues benefit from SEO-optimised venue pages that rank in Google search — built and maintained for you. We also list you on Apple Maps, so customers searching on iPhone, CarPlay, and Siri see your venue with the right hours, menu link, and onetap directions. Plus we plug you into the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG), one of Australia's most trusted restaurant discovery platforms — ensuring your venue is discoverable across every touchpoint in a customer's journey from search to booking.
Why Venues Stay
Don't take our word for it...
"We stopped paying commissions the day we switched. Same Google bookings, none of the fees. Switched once, haven't looked back."
Gerard Siromani · Boo's Kitchen
South Brisbane · 6 years on platform
"The phone used to ring during service and someone had to stop what they were doing. Lois handles it now. That time adds up to something real."
Nicholas Maoudis · Brick Lane Espresso
5 years on platform
"We run SMS campaigns before every weekend. Covers that would have been empty are now consistently full. It's not magic — it's just a working tool."
