"We are extremely happy with the move to Resy. The guest feedback has been excellent, and the efficiency, cost and function of the platform is perfect for our needs.”
"Being in the restaurant industry where margins are razor thin, we are constantly looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality, culture and hospitality. Resy was an easy solution to save money while providing a great software reservation system in comparison to other platforms. The transition was relatively seamless and we were able to start off with a new system without sacrificing time and energy into something new. I would recommend Resy for both start up restaurants as well as established ones as it is a great fit into either system."
"Not only is the Resy system amazing and intuitive but I have taken some of the money saved over not using OpenTable to take a couple of vacations as well as hiring a monthly crew to deep clean the kitchen. You can tell Resy is a system designed by Restaurateurs; simple and impressive inventory and guest management, all while being fair in pricing and working for the restaurant, not against it."
"In an industry that never seems to slow, delegation is key. Resy frees up my time by providing a platform that is intuitive, streamlined and thoughtfully developed by a team of individuals that understand the restaurant world inside and out. Extra time is invaluable, so I've never thought twice about my Resy investment. My business depends on it!"
"Rustic Canyon switched to Resy a couple of years ago and have been very pleased. Resy made sure to designate more than enough time, attention, and patience at launch to make sure we were ready to go. Their customer service is quick, efficient, and easy to work with, and their programming team is always available to help in a pinch."
"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."
"Roughly 70% of our seating is communal and we try to keep the vibe very casual and focus primarily on walk-in business. Switching to Resy allowed us open up roughly 40% more reservations to the public because we are confident the guests expectations are set up correctly; knowing they will be seated at the sushi counter, communal tables, or a private table in the dining room. We no longer have the worry of a guest being disappointed with their seating options when arriving for their reservation."
"What we love the most about Resy is how it has brought customer service to a whole new level. We can keep running logs of patron likes and dislikes, table preferences, allergies, birthdays, etc. We can send text messages easily -- whether it be to confirm a reservation, alter a time, alert someone on a waitlist. When a reservation is cancelled, we can automatically notify guests on a waitlist, ensuring we rarely have an empty table on a busy night. The line of communication it has opened is invaluable."
“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."
“Before Resy we used pen and paper to capture a (written) waitlist. Resy’s waitlist feature has been super useful and has made a positive impact on our hosts, guests and the local community. Our average wait time is usually at least one hour, and before Resy we’d have an enormous amount of people waiting outside of the restaurant. Our restaurant is in Palm Springs and near a lot of shops. Since Resy now texts our guests to update estimated wait times, our guests have more freedom to walk around, shop or grab a drink which also benefits the surrounding local business community. Our hosts have also found benefit and it’s taken a lot of stress out of for them given that we usually always have long waits. In fact one recently told me how helpful it’s been to have a lot less people breathing down his neck."
"I really like the design. It's user friendly, very similar to the simplicity and quality of Apple products. I like how it distills operational functions to its essence, just like how we think about dishes - we remove any unnecessary elements that take away from the essence of that dish. Resy does the same thing with its product design and is easy to use. The workforce that we employ are primarily millennial digital natives. They’ve grown up on screens and Resy’s simple design is something that new hosts and maître d's working the door can easily pick up. I love the collection of restaurants that Resy has curated, a number of really iconic, cutting edge, leading restaurants in America. When I see that the leading operators in this country are using Resy, it gives me further confidence."
"Resy has taken the reservation systems of the past and flipped them on their heads. To find a platform that is able to operated at such a high level and still be service-focused has been key. We have been able to secure more covers, drive demand, and do all this at a fraction of the cost [of what we previously were paying]. We took a risk on Resy and have not looked back.”
"Bookings have increased by up to 50%, particularly noticeable in the early part of the week, since moving to Resy."
"We opened Tetsu with Resy and it was a smooth and quick process. The software is intuitive and as most of us hadn't used Resy before, it was easy for all of us to learn. We've been on Resy for about 2 years now, and have been very pleased with it. The new Fly software is even better than what we started with because it's more hands on for us to make day to day changes on our own. The biggest reason why we love Resy though is the customer service. It's nearly 24/7, we always get a quick turnaround from Seamus and his team on whatever we need."
“One way that Resy has made an impact is that it has allowed us not to have a dedicated reservationist who simply confirms reservations. The confirmation texts have been very helpful in saving money in that regard.”
