77 Reserve For Restaurants Testimonials

“The fixed cost per month as opposed to a per reservation fee has been incredibly impactful. The amount I used to pay per month was astronomical which had a huge effect on our bottom line, making it very hard to turn a profit. Where I used to almost want to limit the amount of reservations because I had to pay per reservation, this has allowed us to fill our books every night without the fear of the bill at the end of the month.”

"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."

"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."

"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.”

“The most important thing for me about Reserve is how much of an impact the system has made on our business. We are able to accommodate so many more covers everyday due to the brilliant algorithm.”

“Reserve is a great platform to use to help streamline operations. Being able to give realtime feedback and have an impact on a system that is constantly being updated as a result of that feedback is a great thing. The cost savings versus other systems is phenomenal as well.”

"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."

"OpenTable left their paying customers in the dust a long time ago to pursue more revenue at our expense. I needed to find an affordable reservation system where new and old customers could comfortably find me. Reputable restaurants using the same system was a must as was removing ourselves from a review site. This was the perfect fit. Great restaurants, no reviews, and enough marketing to help us find new customers. I have tried at LEAST 3 other services while trying to ditch OpenTable. This is the one I stuck with. To me, this is the one that may push OpenTable out of the way for good. I love it."

"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."

"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."

"With Reserve, we've been able to tailor our books to our needs and maximize seating without sacrificing service. Texting to confirm reservations saves a ton of time and labor. The booking algorithm allows us to have a steady flow in service without leaving any dead space. But the best thing Reserve has to offer is their customer service. They LISTEN, they RESPOND, and they make updates based on NEEDS. Reserve has a good thing going and I can't wait to see what they do next."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."
