"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."
“I cannot say enough great things about Reserve's support team. Being able to open a chat with them whenever we need is absolutely ideal. I cannot tell you the number of times in the past when I've had to walk off of the floor in a busy service in order to call our previous reservation management system. I know who to call, text, and email in every situation and they are always there to help us, no matter the time. I could go on and on. Five Stars. Two thumbs up. Very pleased."
"Compared to OT, the data we receive from Reserve is amazingly thorough. The ability to track turn times, as well as observe trends over time has proven incredibly invaluable in creating space for more business. The communication options with guests has allowed us to better manage our book without an increase in our time spent doing so. We have been able to reduce no-shows and last minute cancellations and have seen more stability in numbers overall. Between the intuitive nature of the program, the data options, and the fact that this system was created with the focus on the benefit to the restaurant, as opposed to the guests, the cost is beyond worth it. Reserve truly is the future."
“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 were prepared to take on all of the growing pains that would come with switching over and that would continue as we waited for your development team to add certain desired features. And I have to say, you guys have lived up to the superior level of customer support that was advertised when you first spoke to us about switching. The handful of Reserve members I’ve dealt with have all retained the same sense of relatable, personal individuality while delivering helpful and professional support every time. That’s next level shit, and I love it. You guys also continue to deliver on your promise of adding the certain missing features that were initially concerns of ours when we first signed on. Proving to be unarguably true to your word, and again, I fuckin’ love it... you guys are truly a company OF the people, FOR the people. I’m super happy to embrace being a part of helping you guys develop, expand and succeed."
"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."
“The algorithm has been great. We have not seen a decline in covers. In fact, we have an uptick on Fridays, Saturday, and Sundays. We have seen a more consistent flow to how the restaurant is booked since the system is smarter than we are at managing table inventory. It has no inhibitions, it follows the inventory, pacing and turns that we built, using that information it maximizes our space in ways we wouldn't have.”
"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."
"Reserve helped us optimize our table turns in a more efficient manner. We have gone from a 50/50 reservation/walk-in split to 60/40 reservation/walk-in. The backend dashboard is very user friendly and can easily be adjusted, if needed. I would certainly advise any restaurant to give Reserve a shot. With the continuing developments, I feel Reserve is making strides to better assist restaurant utilization and revenue growth."
"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."
"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."
“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.”
"I put Reserve through the wringer when I vetted them, reading the agreement line by line. They haven't upped the price, haven't included weird charges or anything like that. The system has been tight — no issues with outages or anything like that. Excellent customer service. No impact on our ressie numbers. So I can't point my finger at anything negative. But I can say that I smile, broadly, every time I think about the nearly 3 grand we're saving each month by working with Reserve. We racked up some serious bills with OT, and I'm so glad we switched when we did. We're opening in DC in early 2018, and yes, we'll be booking through Reserve."
“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.”
