No reservation fees and marketing features help restaurants increase their top line revenue, while keeping their budget in check

Maitre’D has recently introduced a comprehensive, and affordable online reservation system for the restaurant industry. Maitre’D’s solution boasts and all-inclusive fixed charge and no reservation fees.

A study from the National Restaurant Association shows that on average, repeat customers represent 60%-75% of sales in various restaurant segments. Return on investment is difficult to demonstrate on money paid for customers that would have returned to the restaurant, whether they reserve online or not. Maitre’D’s solution helps restaurants further leverage the marketing opportunity that online reservations represent.

Shannon Arnold, Marketing Director at Maitre’D, explains: “As always, Maitre’D strives to focus on technologies that can help restaurateurs make more money. We see an immense opportunity in today’s market for an online reservations solution that goes beyond offering “convenience” to restaurant patrons, and effectively helps restaurants be more profitable.” Maitre’D’s full-featured solution helps restaurant operators get new customers and increase sales with innovative marketing functions, such as targeted mobile advertising, and social media sharing, which allows patrons to invite their friends to join them via Facebook and Twitter.

Moreover, the online reservation system is integrated with Maitre’D’s floor management application to offer real-time table status, and help restaurateurs better manage their wait list and table turns, and leverage additional operational efficiencies. Despite the obvious benefits that the integrated solution can offer, the online reservations application can be used with any other POS system where the floor plan integration is not a requirement.
