"Our cover counts didn’t go down, if anything, they went up! Also, depending on your concept, you may lose access to a pool of clients but that’s not necessarily your target market. More and more we realized that OT is just a means of booking and nothing more."
"We quickly saw Reserve's competitive nature shine through constant improvements and updates to their management system. We've saved so much time by switching to Reserve and immediately saw an increase in the amount of reservation covers. These folks are on the forefront of restaurant technology, they understand what restaurants need to increase revenue and deliver it. Reserve stays competitive by improving their product constantly and definitely maintain their place as one of the most advanced table management products on the market."
“Reserve is a cost-effective reservation system with a committed support team of industry professionals and an intuitive interface for restaurant employees. We opened 2 restaurants with Reserve and switched one seamlessly from Opentable. One of my biggest concerns in choosing a reservation system is the efficiency of the user interface. I had tested multiple systems and found them to be very difficult to use in the context of a busy service. Reserve’s interface is very smooth, with an exceptionally intelligent algorithm, and great guest database capabilities."
“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 was scared to be out with the old and in with the new, but now wonder why we waited so long. Get ready for the extra $2K + to your bottom line. Because restaurants should not have to pay for covers! With an already impossibly small margin, give your clients the convenience of online booking less the fees. I find that with social media and just offering a good product, I have more control over my marketing now and that the ads I run and SEO optimization that I do out of house are more effective anyway."
"The level of engagement and transparency are unparalleled versus any other reservations system and they are growing exponentially in all the right ways."
"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."
"Reserve is a great system, backed up by a truly amazing team who care about their clients. Text support is great for immediate assistance, and our Account Manager is awesome."
"The biggest concern that restaurants have in switching to a new reservation system is loss of business. I don’t think this is a valid argument when going to Reserve. Reserve has a growing presence across the country. Reserve is developing unique partnerships that help in exposure and ease of reserving. OpenTable claims that they drive guests to your restaurant. I don’t believe guests choose the restaurant they will try by going to OpenTable. There are many more valuable restaurant blogs and dining information sites. I have had many compliments from guests about the user interface—that it's much easier than OpenTable."
"The Reserve team has always been incredibly helpful, prompt and willing to work to make Contra a better restaurant."
"For so long the industry was led by a company that took advantage of its customers charging outrageous amounts. Sometimes that monthly bill was the difference between a profit that month or a loss. Reserve gives the same type of reservation platform, better customer service and for a much fairer cost that makes much more sense."
"Reserve is a very helpful platform for managing and organizing your waitlist. The customer service and support is great! We love that there can be multiple floor plans to toggle back and forth between to keep our rooms/sections as concise as possible."
"Working with Reserve has been a completely different experience all to the good. Communication and customer service has been excellent! And the system is very easy to operate...highly intuitive...allowing for easy training of new staff. This is our first online reservation experience (we never made it to going 'live' with the other company we were considering) and it has been enormously helpful to our staff. As a manager, I also love the stats that are available to me as we review things in hindsight and continue to make improvements to how we pace our reservations during different times of the year."
"The overall ease of securing and confirming reservations saves us a lot of time. And the pricing of the product has also made a huge impact on our bottom line. The support from Reserve is unparalleled. They really work as a partner in ensuring maximum benefit from the product."
"We signed up for Reserve for a variety of reasons. One was pricing; they are very competitive. Mainly, it was their passion. They truly wanted to work with us and you could sense that. Their attention to detail and their follow through is exceptional and refreshing. It also seemed to be the direction of the industry. Restaurants that make a statement in an important way were trending towards Reserve."
