“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."
"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!"
"Resy is a key part of our success. The cost is competitive and the functionality is exactly what we need. New team members easily navigate the software, while seasoned staff find it easy to jump in and give a hand booking or seating parties. We recently started using the ticketing function and this has led to a dramatic drop in potential lost revenue for our special events.”
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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.”
"Making the switch to Resy was a no-brainer. Resy is easily the best, most intuitive reservation system I've ever worked with. It's user friendly system has enabled us to maximize our reservation taking capabilities while cutting down on costs. Their awesome customer support helped make our transition seamless. I really feel we finally have a system that reflects the needs of our modern busy restaurants."
"Resy has helped us to have more control of the flows in the restaurant. Now we can plan shifts much better and we have increased the rotation of tables thanks to the settings made. The tool is very intuitive and easy to use, so the whole team has adapted very easily. And the best [part] - our customers have also won, since they can book 24/7 from any device or platform."
“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."
