Pros:

We were able to get the software configured and deployed in about 15 minutes. It is incredibly user friendly and straightforward to implement.

Cons:

There are some higher level customizations that would be nice, but at the low monthly fee it is understandable that some things cannot be changed.

The way the tablet organizes the tables by time rather that the order we put in the names

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to review our waitlist app! We try to make it as easy as possible to use. Did you know you can change how the list is sorted? You can sort it by the order you put the names in, which we call the "Arrival Time" by heading to Settings > Waitlist Options. One of the first options lets you choose how the list is sorted. Email us at support [at] tablesready.com if you have questions!

Small cafe with long lines--no more hassle!

Pros:

We have an extremely small cafe inside of our store with no seating. This app has saved us! We used to have a long line out the door on the weekends, leading to a crowded, loud atmosphere. Now, we can have our customers shop around in our store while they wait their turn. It's a calmer environment now, the baristas don't feel rushed, and the customers get a much more pleasant experience.

Cons:

None that I can think of! We're extremely happy so far.

Vendor Response

Hi Samantha, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad our app was able to help you manage your lines and keep your baristas sane!

Charity Event Communication System Outstanding

The Team at TablesReady is highly professional and accommodating, from the Executive Team, Support team.... to the software engineers. We had any questions or needed a minor adjustment....immediately they went into action and performed miracles for us. In addition, the TablesReady Program and Dashboards are incredibly user-friendly and intuitive from a management standpoint. This allowed us to achieve a new level of communication with our clients, securing a high percentage of our reservations and capitalizing on opportunities when a cancellation occurred. We were able to serve more families than in the past 24 years. Most importantly, our client's feedback was that it led to a first-class customer experience. Thank you for the tremendous support and partnership, TablesReady.

Functionality

Pros:

This SMS system allowed us to communicate directly with our families that were registered for our event much easier than through email. We've never experienced such a high attendance rate vs registrations because we made it so easy for the families to communicate with us. No shows were pretty much non-existent. They were able to send me messages on the day of the event and have immediate answers i.e. parking, how long is the sailing, were running late...will we still be OK to meet the boat etc... We were able to eliminate so much stress when they knew they could speak to us easily via text and have a very short period of time for responses.

Cons:

The one change I would like to see implemented is allowing the system to send a last-minute SMS to all registrants vs having the messages pre-programmed when we began the registration for this event. We're a unique application so we do understand that it wouldn't be readily used by many other customers. All-in-all, absolutely no complaints at all. It was a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!

Excellent Investment for Busy Restaurant

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

What we enjoy most about TablesReady is how it limits background noise for our guests who are dining. Instead of yelling out names and interrupting everyone's dinner experience, it is discreet and more professional. We like that it keeps track of what time each party arrived and that we can input reservations as well. It de- clutters our Host stand. Very effective and guests love not having to wait around the Host stand to be called. Instead they may go enjoy a cocktail and/or run an errand.

Cons:

What we like least is not an issue with the software but more human error. If we are busy and the Host inputs a telephone number incorrectly, we have no way of getting in touch with them unless the Host remembered who they were. In addition, many people do not wish to disclose their telephone number and we are forced to remember who they are so we may retrieve them. And lastly, some people do not pay attention to their phones as they are trying to enjoy their evening out. But other than that, the software itself is very effective and convenient.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review! We appreciate it. If you choose to enable the "confirmation" text notification when you add someone to your list, it will give you an error message pretty much right away after adding a party to your list if that SMS failed, so you can get a warning that the number was entered wrong. Then you can try a new phone number while they're still standing there. (That won't help if the number is still valid but went to someone else, however.) If someone doesn't respond to the ready text, you can try sending an automated phone call if you click the phone button. That tends to buzz/ring the phone a bit more and get their attention. And if people don't have phones or don't want to give their number, we usually recommend asking them to check back in after X amount of time, where X is less than you think their actual wait will be. So, if you think their wait is 30 minutes, have them check back in after 20 to get an update. You'll spend less time tracking them down.

Long time happy customer

Tablesready has some of the fastest and most attentive customer service and support around. They are flexible and friendly and eager to get you working as needed. Felt very "taken care of" as a customer. If I may name drop, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was absolutely great and so helpful with my most recent issues.

A Lifesaver for the Winter Months in Ohio

Discovering TablesReady was a life-saver and made parent pick up in the afternoons 1000x more efficient. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] in the tech support department was always prompt to reply to any questions our company had and made our experience even better!

Functionality

Pros:

We are a little bit unique in the fact that we are not a restaurant but a childcare company. TablesReady was a lifesaver to ensure that our parents were not waiting in line during the cold winter months when we did not allow them into the building. The service was so efficient and easy to set up as a company administrator. Our favorite feature by far was the easy-to-use text message feature that allowed parents to text us when they were here. We could then respond with an automated message when their children were ready to be picked up at the door.

Cons:

There were a few occasions where the text messaging feature was not working and parents had some issues, but the tech support team for TablesReady has always been very responsive and the issues were always resolved.

Reasons for choosing TablesReady

The price was reasonable and set-up was incredibly easy as compared to other services that required a quote.

Thanks for the kind words, Joshua it's been a pleasure supporting you and your team!

TablesReady saved us during COVID

At our events, people can wait in a checkout line for up to 1-1.5 hours. Now with tables ready, our customers can continue to walk around instead of standing in an actual checkout line.

Pros:

Because we used TablesReady we were able to operate safely during COVID. It was so well received that we have made it a common practice.

Cons:

We had so many customers that it became hard for people to track where they were in line -- however, we were moving people through the line fast, so this information was a bit inaccurate anyhow.

Easy to use not ideal for data collection.

Overall this has been really helpful with line management and definitely worth it at the price point.

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to use through the in-browser application. Helpful features like text and call customers are essential and this application really nails that on the head.

Cons:

The software functions exactly how you would like it to, however, when it comes to data collection there is no mass export function for the contacts, leaving the venue to individually extract all the customer data spending hours on something that could be a 1-click function. Also, since the application is web-based and not an iOS app, the staff has to constantly ask for the account password to login causing some confusion occasionally.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review! We do have a data export option. Just click Settings then Export Data. The only thing that is not exportable is customer phone numbers, since they are only opting in to receive texts about their wait, and no other future texts. So, for privacy and legal reasons, that data isn't available as a mass export.
