Incredible, its easy to use, the customer service is quick and always helpful and the events section is a dream to use. I have used so many booking systems in my 12 year hospo career and Nowbookit is my favourite.

Pros

The design of the system, the customer service.

Cons

Looking forward to a smartphone app, that would be awesome.

Response from Now Book It

Hey Leola, the team will be thrilled to hear your positive feedback. We set out to build products with the best service for people in hospo and it's customers like you who keep us going! We'll pass along your wishlist for an app. In the meantime, you can already use mobile.nowbookit.com to manage your bookings on the go! Check it out and let us know what you think.

I have worked with NowBookIt since its inception, and I am not sure how well I could run my three venues without it. The entire team is dedicated, industry focused, and importantly, they put their clients first.

Pros

NowBookIt is an entire suite on its own.
We have full control of the booking management system, whether it is its table plan, online bookings, tags, data capture, reporting, voucher platform, etc... everything works perfectly.

Cons

There is nothing I can think of, besides maybe the mobile device version is a little difficult to use at the moment. An update is coming though...

Response from Now Book It

Thank you Olivier! Your incredibly kind words and loyalty mean so much to all of us at Now Book It, it's customers like you who keep us going. Here's to our future success together!

I signed up with a competitor, with lots of shiny baubles, but quickly realised that Now Book It does everything that they do but with added great customer service. I'm very pleased to now be with a company which doesn't just abandon you once you have signed up. They continue to provide a very professional back up service and answer any questions promptly to ensure you are making the most of the product.

Pros

Easy to use, the staff love it and they provide fabulous customer service.

Cons

Nothing. Any issues are quickly resolved.

We moved to Nowbookit several years ago and have been delighted with our change. The service you receive is what sets them apart from anyone else. We're super happy!

Pros

Super easy to navigate, and does a range of things that we need from table settings, functions, events, special menus etc.
Customer service is amazing. You get help as soon as you call! And our local rep [sensitive content hidden] is the best account person we have - his service is next level.

Cons

I'm sure there's a way around it, but the latest update of adding a new customer can be niggly when you have no details other than a name (which we sometimes do) for someone who has called us.

Response from Now Book It

NowBookIt is a game-changer for restaurants, offering a comprehensive solution for reservation management and e-voucher integration. Its intuitive interface, efficient features, and dedicated support make it a valuable asset for streamlining operations and enhancing customer satisfaction. While improvements to the e-voucher widget could enhance aesthetics, the overall functionality and support provided by NowBookIt outweigh any minor drawbacks. Highly recommended for restaurants seeking a seamless booking experience.

Pros

NowBookIt streamlines reservation management and seamlessly integrates e-vouchers, earning it top marks. Its user-friendly interface simplifies table bookings, even during peak hours, enhancing customer satisfaction. The efficient management features ensure optimal service delivery and operational efficiency, while the waitlist functionality minimizes guest wait times, maximizing revenue potential. [sensitive content hidden], the dedicated Accounts manager, offers exceptional support, ensuring a smooth transition and prompt issue resolution. The built-in gift voucher widget adds convenience, though a more attractive design would be a welcomed improvement.

Cons

Negatives:
While NowBookIt excels in functionality, the aesthetics of the e-voucher widget could use some enhancement for a more appealing user experience.

Response from Now Book It

Thank you Kat! We appreciate your feedback and take note of the con regarding the aesthetics of the e-voucher, I will pass this on to the wider team.
Thanks again, Team Now Book It.
