"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."
"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."
"I already recommend Reserve to every general manager, assistant manager, and supervisor I come into contact with because you guys are truly the best. The price of the platform is extremely competitive, Reserve promotes and markets our company through their own press releases and newsletters, and the reserve website truly highlights our restaurant rather than others in the area or other advertisements."
"We have already saved SO MUCH MONEY! We are an extremely busy restaurant and we were averaging $1200 a month with Open Table! Our busiest month was $2000. That is some SERIOUS SAVINGS! It seems like we are doing the same amount of covers as we did with Open Table, but I will say we had our BEST DECEMBER (in sales) that we have ever had so maybe that's partly due to Reserve? We LOVE Reserve and will definitely recommend to our other restaurant friends."
“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."
"Reserve is a very flexible and user friendly software that allows me to make as many or as few adjustments as I'd like, allowing me to extend our hours and reservations on holidays, reconfigure the dining room, or make single day modifications without needing assistance. It crushes the competition on price, and all of their momentum is leading towards a network of like minded restaurants and their guests exposed to your place unclouded by an attempt to sell you a reservation. Reserve's support team is also its unquestioned strength and through all of the variables and challenges of running a restaurant there has been quick and helpful responses from each level."
"There are a lot of feature of Reserve that are easy, intuitive, and function well for the system. From a guest side, having tried to make a reservation with another system (not OT, I think it was Resy), it forced me to create an account, which I did not want to do, and chose not to (and chose not to make a reservation with that restaurant in the long run). I appreciate that guests can simply just make a reso."
“We would recommend Reserve to anyone who has care for their customers and wants each one to have a memorable experience in their restaurant. Reserve allows you to build a knowledge base around your customers that allows you to transform guests into regulars on their second entrance into the restaurant. Being able to track customers dining time, reservation history, and social media presence is an amazing tool for restaurant owners, and has allowed us to build meaningful relationships with our customers that turns them from first-timers, to repeat customers, and to regulars.”
"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."
"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."
"From the on-boarding and support to the relationships we’ve built with their team, Reserve is there for all of our guest management and reservation needs. The product is incredibly flexible and intuitive on the backend, which has saved us time and money. The ability to share guest and reservation information across our properties has served as a valuable tool for Heisler."
"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."
"Switching to Reserve is a great way to reinvest money into more meaningful restaurant expenses, and their rapidly growing network in the city helps ensure that guests are already familiar with the platform. The switch has certainly been worth it both from a financial and operational perspective."
"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."
"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."
