ResyOS

“We were nervous about switching from our other reservations system, namely due to anticipated dips in covers and that Resy is relatively young in Canada and the first in Calgary to start on this platform. We did see a slight dip in covers at first, but we planned for it. We just focused on giving great hospitality to our guests and it was totally fine. Given that we were previously spending about $1,000 per month in cover fees, Resy paid for itself almost immediately and that more than offset the dip in covers for the first few months on Resy. Being a small restaurant, last minute cancellations really kill us! I love how Resy helps us minimize cancellations with text message reservation confirmations and by automatically opening up cancellations to the next spot. In the past, someone on my team would call every reservation to confirm and manually try to fill cancellations but Resy takes care of it all with no work from my team. We’ve seen about a 10-15% increase in covers since switching to Resy."

“Resy has brought customer service to a whole new level at Makani. We can more easily keep track of guest allergies, birthdays, table preferences, allergies, etc, which has helped us build even greater repeat visits. It's so much easier to message our guests (confirming or modifying reservations, messaging waitlist) and has saved us a lot of time versus the old way of communicating. Another thing we love is that if a reservation is cancelled, we can automatically notify guests on a waitlist, which has filled more tables and as a result we don't often have empty tables on busy nights.”

"It's great that Resy doesn't publish the written reviews, because it means the comments are much more constructive. They're usually much more specific in feedback, usually to do with dishes. We use the ratings every week in management meetings."
