“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."
“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.”
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My favorite features are all about on the spot changes. Whether I need to move a pre-assigned table in the middle of service, override our reservations settings, or temporarily block online reservations altogether, the ability to control reservation flow on both macro and micro levels is essential! I love that I can make split second decisions regarding the flow of traffic and keep chaos at bay. And the support is unparalleled. I am constantly learning how to perfect the set up and use tools more effectively, making our team more confident and better prepared."
"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."
“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.”
"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."
