First of all I agree with all the previous reviews First of all I agree with all the reviewer comments, this service has all the appearance of a scam and if at all possible Tock should figure out a way to better market their offering so people know before hand what they ae purchasing. I had an example of a restaurant in the Monterrey CA area using Tock to make a reservations but they will not accept a Tock gift card. All Tock support would offer is the have no control over they business and therefore no responsibility. Pretty shady. I would also question this review board giving Tock 2.2 stars when every single review is a one star.

What value does Tock provide diners? I made a reservation for two at Daisies, a relatively new Chicago restaurant. We had a lovely time, but I will not go back if every time I make a Tock reservation I am charged $21 for two for nothing. As a frequent restaurant diner (3-4 times a week) I prefer Open Table and Resy. My partner prefers to call directly to restaurants. Now, I understand why.

If I could give a 0 If I could give a 0, I would. Using Tock was a horrible experience and I have yet to figure out how to unlock and use the money on my gift card. Not only couldn’t I figure it out, but three waiters and the restaurant manager couldn’t figure it out. If the site promotes that you can book reservations and pay for them via gift cards during check out, it should work accordingly. This does not. I do not recommend this for any customer or business.

Greed, expecting customers to pay to reserve Tock charging a 20% service fee for what amounts to an incredibly simple CRUD scheduling app is an outright scam forced upon users. Restaurants should heavily reconsider implementing this service as it deters potential customers from making reservations.

Terrible, DO NOT give as a gift unless you hate the person. Terrible, misleading and useless. I received a Tock gift card as a gift and it has been nothing but a headache. First, we used Tock to make a reservation at a Tock restaurant only to find out that you can't actually use the gift card at the restaurant. Makes sense, right? Tock is intentionally misleading about when you can use the gift card. I had to read their terms and conditions to finally figure it out. So, can't use it at the restaurant... figured I'd order. I'm in Los Angeles so they have to have tons of restaurants that will deliver, right? Nope. 3 in my area. Ok, well, let's pick one of those 3. It's 1.2 miles away from me. After selecting the restaurant, turns out I'm "outside the delivery area". What? A mile is outside the delivery area? Screw it, let's keep trying. Change up the restaurant, confirm they'll deliver to me, place the order and about 20 minutes before it's supposed to arrive, Tock cancels the order because "we are unable to process the order with the restaurant." This is AFTER confirming my order will be delivered. Holy crap Tock. I don't wish your awfulness on anyone.
