London restaurants still taking bookings through Quandoo have a hard deadline: Quandoo stops accepting new reservations from
October 1, 2026, with last bookings processed by
September 30, 2026 and the platform closing completely on
December 31, 2026. Klap.life's setup is built to be fast enough that switching doesn't mean losing bookings in the gap — most venues can be configured in as little as 24 hours.
What Happens During the 24-Hour Setup?
Getting a restaurant live on Klap.life runs in three steps:
Sign up — create your venue account.
Menus & Pricing — add your menu, table layout, and pricing.
Bookings — activate live booking so guests can reserve a table immediately.
Once step three is complete, the venue is taking reservations directly, without depending on a marketplace that can change its terms or shut down.
Why Are London Restaurants Making the Switch Now?
Restaurants that wait until closer to October risk migrating under pressure, alongside every other Quandoo venue doing the same thing at once. Moving now means a calmer setup, time to test the booking flow with real guests, and no gap in reservations when Quandoo's consumer-facing services wind down.
What Do You Need to Get Started?
Have your current menu, pricing, and table availability ready — that's what steps two and three use. No POS migration or lengthy training is required to go live; the free trial covers the full three-step setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to set up Klap.life?
As little as 24 hours for most venues, covering sign-up, menu and pricing setup, and activating live bookings.
What information do I need to complete setup?
Your current menu, pricing, and table availability — no POS export or technical setup is required to complete the three steps.
Does this apply only to London restaurants?
No — the 24-hour setup applies to any venue migrating to Klap.life. This piece focuses on London specifically because of the concentration of restaurants currently on Quandoo ahead of its October 1, 2026 deadline.
What happens to my existing Quandoo bookings?
That depends on Quandoo's own transition process — check their official guidance for data export. Once you're set up on Klap.life, new bookings come in directly through your own account.
