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.

Complete mess Complete mess. Total sh** show. Definitely avoid for gift cards. Had a special occasion ruined and lost a $200 reservation deposit because their process for using their gift card is so completely convoluted. Weeks later, and I still can't get an answer from Tock or the restaurant on whether I can even use this gift card for the restaurant I made reservations for on their site, let alone how to use it. Every response from Tock is "ask the restaurant" and every resonance from the restaurant is them being utterly confused as to what a Tock gift card even is. So, at this point, between the reservation deposit and the cost of the gift card, $500 has been wasted with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Impossible to use this Tock gift card Impossible to use this Tock gift card. Been trying for a couple of years and can’t quite seem to unlock the secret key. Dine-in - nope. Wine shop - nope. Take out - maybe but only for large holiday meals? Ugh. We cast a pox upon the house of Tock.

I find Resy and OpenTable are far… I find Resy and OpenTable are far better user experiences for diners. Tock charges asinine fees to diners and makes splitting a bill need a spreadsheet. I'd rate Tock 0/5 stars.

Elaborate Scam We tried three times to use tock. Each time they charged us money in advance only for the restaurants to have never heard of tock before, and leading to a huge billing issue each time. Until now, we haven't been able to use our money on tock, and there's no way to remove it. And all support does is give default answers. Fairly convinced their business model is to make the product almost impossible to use so that they people just never use the money they actually have. If you like someone, NEVER gift them a tock gift card - it's the worst thing you can do to someone
