77 Reserve For Restaurants Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I'd say more then 90% of our business comes through Reserve which is great. Based on the price alone, the system is worth it. Also, Reserve is constantly updating and trying to make the experience the best possible and someone is always there it help if you have questions."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“One of my favorite aspects of Reserve is the Freestyle system. Moving our restaurants away from a slot based system to a system that works with a seating algorithm has been a game changer. It frees up tremendous time for me from managing large party requests, and gives me confidence that our seats and reservation times are being maximized.”

"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."

"The biggest concern that restaurants have in switching to a new reservation system is loss of business. I don’t think this is a valid argument when going to Reserve. Reserve has a growing presence across the country. Reserve is developing unique partnerships that help in exposure and ease of reserving. OpenTable claims that they drive guests to your restaurant. I don’t believe guests choose the restaurant they will try by going to OpenTable. There are many more valuable restaurant blogs and dining information sites. I have had many compliments from guests about the user interface—that it's much easier than OpenTable."

"I was scared to be out with the old and in with the new, but now wonder why we waited so long. Get ready for the extra $2K + to your bottom line. Because restaurants should not have to pay for covers! With an already impossibly small margin, give your clients the convenience of online booking less the fees. I find that with social media and just offering a good product, I have more control over my marketing now and that the ads I run and SEO optimization that I do out of house are more effective anyway."

"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."

"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."
