Handling reservations and staffing

To maintain their high standards, The Old Forge chose resOS, a user-friendly reservation system that has become essential to their daily operations. 

The key feature that made a difference was how resOS efficiently schedules reservations, ensuring a smooth flow of customers through the restaurant and kitchen.

resOS quickly and efficiently allows us to schedule customers in a timely fashion, therefore ensuring the throughput to the kitchen is at a smooth pace without being overloaded at any one time.

Better time management and staff allocation

With resOS in place, The Old Forge has been able to optimize their staffing levels based on actual reservation data, making their daily management much easier. They can accurately determine the number of staff needed for each service, which reduces the guesswork and allows them to focus more on guests who are dining in.

Due to resOS we can more accurately determine how many staff we require for each service. Also, as the majority of our bookings come through this platform we spend less time answering calls, allowing us to concentrate our efforts on the guests who are with us at that given time.
