77 Reserve For Restaurants Testimonials

"We were prepared to take on all of the growing pains that would come with switching over and that would continue as we waited for your development team to add certain desired features. And I have to say, you guys have lived up to the superior level of customer support that was advertised when you first spoke to us about switching. The handful of Reserve members I’ve dealt with have all retained the same sense of relatable, personal individuality while delivering helpful and professional support every time. That’s next level shit, and I love it. You guys also continue to deliver on your promise of adding the certain missing features that were initially concerns of ours when we first signed on. Proving to be unarguably true to your word, and again, I fuckin’ love it... you guys are truly a company OF the people, FOR the people. I’m super happy to embrace being a part of helping you guys develop, expand and succeed."

"The data that we receive allows us to think more strategically about when we need to increase available reservation slots, or decrease tables restricted to walk-ins. We've been able to use the reports generated by our account manager to look strategically and accurately at what is happening on the floor at both of our restaurants, and maximize our capacity to get guests seated from reservations and from the waitlist. Knowing the ratio of walkins to reservations, the average turn time, the average waittime, and more has given us a data driven way to run the floor."

“The algorithm is incredibly helpful to our small restaurant. We don’t have a host and the algorithm picks up a lot of the tasks I found myself doing when we were working off the slots but is obviously more attentive and maximizes the restaurant’s capacity. It saves me so much time."

“Why wouldn’t you want to pay less for better service and a better product? Don’t allow someone to convince you that you need any particular system to bring in the covers that you have seen in the past, it’s simply not true. Reserve has offered us unparalleled service, a high level of functionality and everything that I could want for reporting.”

"I put Reserve through the wringer when I vetted them, reading the agreement line by line. They haven't upped the price, haven't included weird charges or anything like that. The system has been tight — no issues with outages or anything like that. Excellent customer service. No impact on our ressie numbers. So I can't point my finger at anything negative. But I can say that I smile, broadly, every time I think about the nearly 3 grand we're saving each month by working with Reserve. We racked up some serious bills with OT, and I'm so glad we switched when we did. We're opening in DC in early 2018, and yes, we'll be booking through Reserve."

"My biggest concern was that Reserve might not be very well known to Chicago people because everyone is familiar with Open Table. I found this to NOT be true, in fact it was the opposite and people were very receptive to the change. Reserve kicks ass on all ends."

"Our relationship with Reserve feels very personal; they understand the specifics of our business and how we run. There was an adjustment when we made the transition to the updated system, but after a close eye and fine tuning for the first few weeks, we felt the system improved the way we manage our bookings."

"It’s simple: stop building OpenTable's brand, and having your customers go to their website, and be processed through their system. They promote other restaurants instead of yours, their system favors large corporate establishments with all of their promotion offerings. Take the savings that you are going to experience and invest in your own branding, and send your customers to your own website. I have return customers that come to our restaurant three to four times per month with a party of 4. That is $144.00 per year in reservation cost. If you look beyond that and multiply that by 40 other returning customers that comes to $5,760.00. That is called wasted advertising dollars."

"Reserve has simplified our online and in house reservations to the point that ANYONE in our company can take a reservation that will be placed into our list for the night with the utmost efficiency. Double booked tables are a thing of the past and tables never sit empty due to a poorly assigned dining room. Additionally, help is always a chat away and the friendly attitude of the Reserve staff has made them part of our restaurant industry family. We know each other and they consider our individual restaurant's needs when making changes to the system."

"The Reserve team has been extremely supportive since day one. From walking us through set-up, blasting out social media, getting us on board and continuously checking in to see how we are doing and if we need anything from them and how they can improve. When they are in town, they make it a point to meet with us and have face to face conversations about Reserve. They listen to our concerns and suggestions on how to make Reserve even more restaurant and diner friendly. The Intercom feature is great because it offers real time help. We usually get a response within a few minutes allowing us to be more efficient and productive on our end."

"It was a seamless and easy transition to move over to the Reserve system. This company looks at the reservation system from the restaurants eyes. They are constantly listening to their customers and making updates to better not only Reserve but our business. Anytime we have suggested new features, they were already in the works or were something that came on board soon there after. Great customer service."

"We switched because we were tired of the cost of Open Table and the illogical pricing structure as well as their lack of customer service. They never listened to their restaurant clients' requests or feedback on how to improve the system. Reserve has done much better with both of these pieces."

"I'd say more then 90% of our business comes through Reserve which is great. Based on the price alone, the system is worth it. Also, Reserve is constantly updating and trying to make the experience the best possible and someone is always there it help if you have questions."

"The experience of our guests is our paramount importance to us, and Reserve stood out for not only sharing our focus on guest experience, but wanting to make dining better for chefs and restaurateurs as well."

"As a multi-property manager, the shared guest data between three restaurants has allowed us to have some strong hospitality moments. Having notes from a guests experience at one property be accessible to the other properties allows us to get closer each time to providing the best possible experience for our guests. We love to know things like their personal preferences or celebrations so we can continue to fine tune our service for them. Reserve has been really welcoming to feedback, assisting us with changes or challenges, and continuing to improve their product to stay as up to date as possible."
