“Reserve is the smartest table management system I've ever used. Its complexities have allowed us to trust the system's ability to book our dining room exactly how we want it booked. It’s the most advanced table management system out there, especially when considering system "intelligence" and user-flexibility. Highly recommended.”
"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."
"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."
“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.”
"Reserve is a very flexible and user friendly software that allows me to make as many or as few adjustments as I'd like, allowing me to extend our hours and reservations on holidays, reconfigure the dining room, or make single day modifications without needing assistance. It crushes the competition on price, and all of their momentum is leading towards a network of like minded restaurants and their guests exposed to your place unclouded by an attempt to sell you a reservation. Reserve's support team is also its unquestioned strength and through all of the variables and challenges of running a restaurant there has been quick and helpful responses from each level."
"One of the many things that’s so great about Reserve is the service, the hospitality on your end. I know the team will be with us every step of the way, whether it's day or night. There are so many purveyors of restaurants that don’t work nights and weekends. We switched off Yelp’s product because of Reserve’s service and the understanding of the business. Reserve understands the restaurant business and we really feel like you’re on our side — that Reserve’s here for us."
“With the ease of the product, our hosts are able to quickly enter guests and their information. This allows us to add more people to our list, accurately figure out wait times, and make more guests happy in the long run.”
"Reserve is a very helpful platform for managing and organizing your waitlist. The customer service and support is great! We love that there can be multiple floor plans to toggle back and forth between to keep our rooms/sections as concise as possible."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The shuffling feature is my favorite part of Reserve! It helps us maximize seating without needing to spend a lot of time configuring the floor ourselves. MAJOR time saver. I love that we do so many covers and everyone feels like it's "slow." Stress-free services are how we retain employees, and the calm feeling obviously translates to our guests as well. With our Account Manager's help and using the shuffling/slotting features, we are able to stagger guests in a way where we have more covers because the app is thinking for us."
"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."
"We have already saved SO MUCH MONEY! We are an extremely busy restaurant and we were averaging $1200 a month with Open Table! Our busiest month was $2000. That is some SERIOUS SAVINGS! It seems like we are doing the same amount of covers as we did with Open Table, but I will say we had our BEST DECEMBER (in sales) that we have ever had so maybe that's partly due to Reserve? We LOVE Reserve and will definitely recommend to our other restaurant friends."
