77 Reserve For Restaurants Testimonials

"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 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."

"We've now successfully completed a couple of marketing campaigns that are showing up in our analytics! This is a HUGE improvement from where we were in the past, and I am really excited to utilize this feature going forward. All of us at JBF really appreciate the extra assistance you've provided in the onboarding process; the transition has been seamless thanks to all of your efforts."

"From day one, it has always felt like their support team has been keeping an eye on our business and looking for ways to hone and improve, always with the understanding that every business has its own unique type of service and operation. I would recommend Reserve to all of my favorite restaurants because they truly understand how to bridge the gap between giving the guest an easy to use system for booking their reservations, and providing the restaurant with a program that allows us to better understand our guest’s experience and maximize our space.”

"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."

"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."

"There's so much innovation and diversity in apps, and Reserve is one of the best. Chefs have been incorporating tools that seemed daunting in the past (like sous vide and immersion circulators) since they learned that these tools save time and money and result in a better product. This is exactly what Reserve has done for us. It’s got all the amenities of a pricier system with the great service and one-on-one support of a small business."

"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."

"We were nervous there would be a drop in online reservations since we were switching from OpenTable. In fact, our online reservations increased, as we were able to allow booking on all of our tables since there is no per booking cost. We saw no drop in reservations, and guests have been very appreciative of the increased availability. Also, the texting feature on Reserve is a huge time saver. We no longer have to call guests to confirm, saving about an hour everyday. We have a customized confirmation text that we send out, and when guests respond it automatically sends them another text with parking information. This is been really helpful to guests and our staff."

“With the ease of the product, our hosts are able to quickly enter guests and their information. This allows us to add more people to our list, accurately figure out wait times, and make more guests happy in the long run.”

"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."

"In our two locations, we see roughly 300,000 guests a year and take reservations for every meal. It is vitally important that our reservation software is solid as a rock and, when we need it, support is there to help. So far, Reserve has filled both requirements. Reserve works on our iPads and desktop PCs without any issue and without any odd licensing requirements. If we want to use it on 10 iPads throughout the restaurants, we can. No muss, no fuss. The app for guests is also elegant and simple to use. And we have seen no dip in our reservation totals with the change from our old software. Overall, we are very pleased with our switch to Reserve. The added bonus is that they listen to their clients and are updating the product in useful ways regularly. We’re looking forward to working with them as we continue to expand our business."

"My favorite features are all about on the spot changes. Whether I need to move a pre-assigned table in the middle of service, override our reservations settings, or temporarily block online reservations altogether, the ability to control reservation flow on both macro and micro levels is essential! I love that I can make split second decisions regarding the flow of traffic and keep chaos at bay. And the support is unparalleled. I am constantly learning how to perfect the set up and use tools more effectively, making our team more confident and better prepared."

“One of my favorite aspects of Reserve is the Freestyle system. Moving our restaurants away from a slot based system to a system that works with a seating algorithm has been a game changer. It frees up tremendous time for me from managing large party requests, and gives me confidence that our seats and reservation times are being maximized.”

"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."
