"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."
"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 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's waitlist function is quick, clear, and effective. People are surprised how quickly the texts go through and we can easily message international numbers. The text content is completely custom."
"Before signing with Reserve, we were afraid that we would lose reservations, but we did not see a dip in the weeks after the switch. Reserve is bringing more people to us through Google searches and we are getting more Google reviews, which helps improve our SEO ranking. Reserve has helped us save time in our day-to-day operations with the "shuffle." The pre-assignments mean we don't have to spend as much time plotting the dining room."
"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."
"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 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."
"Reserve has been so easy to work with, responsive and available and always coming out with relevant upgrades to the product...WE LOVE THE INSTAGRAM INTEGRATION."
“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.”
“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."
"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."
“One of my favorite features of Reserve is the program's ability to auto-assign reservations to tables before the start of a shift. I didn't realize the impact of this feature until we hired a new host with very minimal experience. I didn't feel comfortable with him spreading out the reservations to set the pacing for the shift but the program did it autonomously which was very awesome.”
"Mountain Standard embraced the new 'flex' style system which led to smoother services and better utilization of the dining room almost instantly. Over the last 3 months Mountain Standard has been able to consistently increase the dining room optimization on average of an extra 10% each evening. Amazing."
"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."
