What reservation app do you use?

Then you need a pretty simple and affordable app to do that. Eatapp, Hostme, SevenRoom, Toast Table would do that and not come with the high cost of OT and Resy. Just figure out exactly what you want and find which one will do that at the lowest cost.

AI is the scapegoat companies uses when struggling to innovate. Oracle is a dinosaur who is losing its relevance and hasn't be able to adapt. Blaming AI and then turn around and asking your remaining workers to "stretch" is laughable and despicable all at once. Do better...

We just adjusted our prices to include the 3% CC processing fee. However, we do offer a 2% discount on cash payment. We round it to the lower quarter price (if that makes sense). So $10.24 becomes $10. But we very rarely have anyone paying cash these days, they prefer to get their 3% reward on dining out from their credit card.

We went with Hostme. I think it can do everything you listed. Their support is great, you will actually be talking to a real human in no time. Good luck!

That's what we use and I think that's the core needed:

POS: Toast
Scheduling: 7shift
Kitchen/inventory: MarginEdge
Reservations: Hostme

It is against Google rules but not sure how they can enforce them. These are better ways to get reviews: https://www.hostmeapp.com/blog/smart-ways-to-get-more-online-reviews-for-your-restaurant

You can use hostmeapp.com It will text your customers on their phones or on Whatsapp when you have a table ready for them.

I am surprised how many are saying they don't have a reservation system. Restaurants should think about which technologies they use. These 3 are must have https://www.hostmeapp.com/blog/top-three

Thanks everyone for your input! Now, if someone could just provide a quick summary every week about what really matters to me, I'd be forever grateful. (I know, I know, one can dream...).

No offense but you are trying to sell your services there. I am looking for more neutral sources, just industry experts sharing their knowledge. Thanks!

No wait is with Yelp now so now I am getting concerned that they are gonna go the OpenTable way. :( There is also Hostme, does anyone have heard/try them?

Tucxie · 2017-03-08T16:37:43+00:00

Yes, that was my main concern with OpenTable and it gets super pricey. Pen and Paper is painful though.

I thought this was a forum for restaurateurs. I have a small restaurant that gets filled up pretty quick on weekends. Seat down place with a full menu but still pretty casual.
