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.

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.

It's a scam. Don't use unless you like giving donations to them. This is a company that accepts $$ for "gift certificates" and then you discover they have no restaurants that accept the credit. Haha. Jokes on you! I tried to use the credits twice with a restaurant they list. There's no phone number to discuss with them, and they refuse to answer emails asking the people who gifted you to be refunded. It's a scam.

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.

Tock is CRAP and for the BOTS Tock is CRAP- They have bots that take up all the reservations within seconds. I’ve had 10 people at the same time through the app or the website try to book and it’s impossible because either they don’t have anything in place that protects the system against bots that book out slots or they resell reservations to other sites that charge fees for a booking service or concierge service. I really hope restaurant owners of the highly sought out places like the Michelin restaurants understand this game because there are so many people that lose out on experiencing your restaurants due to an unfair rigged system that is the EXCLUSIVE way to get a table at your restaurant. Such a shame!
