No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Everything about Alex Reservations is great! The only missing feature is to allow integrating custom payment gateways or WooCommerce. The available payment providers are very limited. P.S., we’re based in Kuwait.

    We’ve been using the Alex Reservations plugin at Fletcher’s Restaurant and it’s been absolutely fantastic. The setup was smooth, the design is clean and modern, and the user experience—especially on mobile—is excellent. Our customers love the simplicity of booking a table in just a few clicks. The flexibility it offers in managing services, times, and table capacity is impressive. The modal pop-up works seamlessly on our Elementor-built site, and the styling options let us match it perfectly to our branding. We’ve also had great support from the team behind the plugin whenever we had questions. Highly recommended for any restaurant looking for a reliable, stylish, and user-friendly booking solution. 5 stars without hesitation!

    I’ve given the Alex Reservations plugin a full 5 stars – and it absolutely deserves it. It’s packed with genuinely useful features that make managing bookings smooth and stress-free. The interface is clean, intuitive, and offers plenty of flexibility, from customising tables and layouts to handling customer preferences and automated emails. What really stood out to me, though, was the support. Fast, friendly, and knowledgeable – exactly what you want when you’re running a busy operation and need things sorted quickly. And the price? Incredibly reasonable for what you get. Whether you’re running a single restaurant or multiple locations, this plugin delivers professional-level functionality without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

    Alexreservation has to be one of the best restaurant managing plugins out there. I work for a restaurant group that wanted to keep their reservations organized, so I found this plugin, but after some use I discovered a world of wonders. The ability to map your restaurant, assign tables automatically and have all you emails/sms automated has done wonders for them. 5/5, can’t recommend this enough and the developers have helped me a lot on the configuration of the plugin.

    Switched from another booking solution without table management to Alex Reservation. It is great ! Table management is a must, advanced features, fully responsive, used like an app on smartphone. The owner even contacted us while in free trial to bring us help and discuss on our own specific usage (ceramic café), AAA customer support. I even integrated our own workflow into alexreservation and it’s a huge plus for our business. You can still try big name of table management system, Alex Reservation does the same even better some time for a much better price. This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by eisteed.
