From One-Time Guest
to Regular
In the rapidly evolving world of consumer expectations,
personalized engagement and interaction is key to building
loyalty.
Innovations such as OpenTable allow restaurants to keep notes
about every guest. Servers can know when a vegetarian is seated
in their section, be reminded of what they like to drink, and look
up notes on past orders.
Guests who feel genuinely valued become repeat customers.
With technology like OpenTable, CityEats, and Resy, restaurants
now have the tools they need to ensure the highest level of
customer satisfaction.

mind with your diners:

diners to view points and rewards accumulated
