What we do FAQs

FAQs

Q. What is the benefit of your system in cash terms?

One of our clients, a small 40 cover restaurant, after paying us our booking fee has taken just under £2,700 in takings over and above their usual takings over the last 3 months using our system

Q. Do you work with all types of restaurants?

Yes we do – however, we don’t work with all the restaurants in a geographical area. We aim to work with only a handful of restaurants in an area rather than every single restaurant that wants our system.

Q. What national chains use you?

None and we strongly believe in Local support for independent restaurants

Q. I already use other online booking services I don’t want another one?

We are not an online booking system that offers online discounts and booking service. We are a texting service that sends invitations to people who have SPECIFICALLY said they want to receive text offers/rewards when their favourite restaurant has availability - note it is their favourite restaurant and not every restaurant on our system

Q. How many people ask to stop receiving your texts?

A small number and the reason being that people have specifically opted in to receive texts from their favourite restaurant and will probably only receive one text a month – 2 at the most. [Some have not received a text for over a month]. A further reason that our “opt out” is extremely low is because people tell us how often they want to receive texts simply by engaging with us through our text messages.

Q. Do you just provide the booking service?

No, for a majority of our clients we also provide a marketing service – e.g. if they have a special event coming up or re-launching a website etc we will do a text out to their database [Again this is managed so not to spam people]

Q. The texting database you build up with the restaurant, who does it belong to?

The data is the restaurant’s customers so it belongs to the restaurant

Q. How big is your current Database? Q. How many people have signed up to your database?

A meaningless number as the people who will receive offers/rewards from your restaurant need to have “opted in” to receive texts from YOU. If they haven’t they won’t receive a text from you. {By the way the number is 10 881 but it is insignificant because none have signed up to receive texts from YOU}

Q. What are the costs? Q. How long are your agreements?

No costs at all until we physically have someone sitting in a seat in your restaurant – then it will cost you £2 per cover There are no agreements or set up fees, so if you choose to stop using us, you just do.

Q. I don’t associate my restaurant with other restaurant in the UK or services and I don’t what to appear on your website, is this possible?

Yes it is – we are a white label service and a high percentage of our clients are not listed on our website (they all have their reasons). They all call their text clubs by various different names.

Q. What really makes you different?

We change people’s minds – we target a person who has no plan to eat out that evening and send them a text and by receiving our timely text with a special reward from their favourite restaurant triggers a change of mind.

Restaurant discount texts means savings

We all have one or two or even more favourite local restaurant and we tend to frequent them when we can. In today’s economic climate we tend to go when we can afford to, which is just the way it is. We have enjoyed the great years of little thought to what we spend as it was quite easy to just “charge it to my card”. But there is hope….what if you could enjoy your favourite restaurant as often as you did or in some cases more than before? No? Oh YES you can!

I can tell you it is definitely a possibility because with realtimeseating you can get up to 50% discount at your favourite restaurant. Now you don’t have to be a mathematician to work out that if you are getting 50% off then you can go twice and still spend about the same money that you would have……so to me it makes perfect sense – I can continue to enjoy the favourite things in life (like a great meal at my local restaurant) and be financial frugal – win win in any language.

The process is simple – just 3 steps –

Step 1 – go to www.realtimeseating.com

Step 2 – sign up and choose your favourite local restaurant (if it is not on the list then tell us)

Step 3 – wait to receive your restaurant discount texts when your local restaurant has availability

That is it …… so enjoy your winter…actually enjoy your year … and we will see you at your local!

£2000 to find Mr or Miss Right

Experts reckon that we spend around £2,000 and an average of 24 dates to meet Mr or Miss Right .

For the girls most of  this spend is towards the purchase of nicknacks associated with the dating game, but for the boys a staggering 80% of that £2,000 cost it attributed to wining and dining the prospective other half.

Right now, I can say that I am glad I am over and done with the dating game, but had I been on the market I would be a savvy investor and would minimise my costs by saving up to 50% on local restaurants deals (via texts) and impress the hell out of my dates with my spontaneity, choice of excellent local restaurant and good tipper (hell I can afford to be flash with the tip... I have eaten for half price!)

So what are you waiting for??? Register today at realtimeseating.com  and receive offers of up to 50% from your local restaurants .....oh and yes happy hunting my friend!
