“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."
"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."
"All reservation systems will get the job done. The question of how much better they make your life is answered by the small details. Reserve is responding to user needs, anticipating what the most important new features are an prioritizing them, and walking the walk in terms of customer service. The people who work at Reserve know it's about customer or guest service all the way down, and we're all in this together."
"Understanding the reservation algorithm has made me rethink reservations. I've now been able to create two turns when we started with just one. Beginning with Tock, anything would be easier on the guest's side of things."
"Reserve does everything from an analytic side that Open Table does. But the biggest advantage is working with a company that actually listens to their customers and reacts accordingly. Reserve understands our business and is always trying to help not raise fees for their bottom line."
"Reserve is a super organized system with a user-friendly design. It's easy to learn and shows you a straightforward look at what to expect for your shifts. On top of that, you get specific reports on turn times, waitlists, reservations, etc. Also, interactive texting makes it much easier to keep in direct contact with the guests without having to play phone tag."
"My biggest concern before signing up with Reserve was a possible lack of product support. New platforms will often overreach their support capabilities to sign up new customers. That fear has proven unfounded. Reserve support has always been available when needed, and updates are frequent and useful. I have been very impressed with the rate of Reserve's product development. I have seen more updates and new features in the past year than I saw in four years with other reservation systems."
"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."
"From a price perspective, Reserve is unparalleled in our industry. Beyond that, I’d say having Reserve, with its marketing tools and technology, humming diligently in the background lets us focus on great food and service. Their team has been incredibly helpful to our staff — quick responses, easy solutions."
“The ease and mobility of the system, the rapid response from the support team, and the lack of binding contracts make it a far superior product than the competitor who shall not be named.”
"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 makes our lives easier as it's not slot based and we can focus on our customers, not where people are going to sit. Their customer service and attention to detail that we need as a restaurant is exceptional."
"The level of engagement and transparency are unparalleled versus any other reservations system and they are growing exponentially in all the right ways."
"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."
"When recommending you (as I have to a couple places), I let them now how easily Reserve works, how easy it is to set up, and the great support I receive from your team there. My experience with your support has been excellent so far. Whether it is emailing you or any of your predecessors working with my account, or through the support link on the app itself, the response is always very quick and very helpful whenever I have an issue."
