SevenRooms

SevenRooms is a hospitality data and operations platform providing reservation management, waitlist management, guest profiles, CRM, and marketing automation tools for restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues — enabling hospitality operators to capture guest data at every visit and use it to personalize experiences and drive repeat visits. Founded in 2011 by Joel Montaniel, Allison Page, and Kinesh Patel in New York City, SevenRooms has raised approximately $205 million and serves hospitality brands including MGM Resorts, Marriott, Bloomin' Brands, and Wolfgang Puck who want to build direct guest relationships rather than depending on OpenTable or Resy for reservation data.\n\nSevenRooms' platform manages the end-to-end guest experience: direct reservation booking (bypassing third-party platforms to capture guest contact information and pre-visit preferences), table management and seating optimization, server-facing guest profile display (showing a guest's order history, dietary restrictions, special occasions), post-visit marketing (automated email campaigns personalized by visit history), and loyalty/membership program management. The guest data captured creates increasingly personalized service over time — repeat guests receive recognition and tailored recommendations.\n\nIn 2025, SevenRooms competes with OpenTable (Booking.com-owned, the dominant restaurant reservation network), Resy (American Express-owned), and Tock (acquired by Squarespace) for restaurant reservation and guest management technology. The competitive dynamic in restaurant tech is between network-based reservation platforms (OpenTable's consumer discovery network) and operator-first platforms (SevenRooms and Tock focusing on direct relationships). SevenRooms' advantage is its comprehensive guest data model and enterprise hospitality group focus. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing enterprise hospitality group adoption, expanding in Europe and Asia, and deepening AI-powered menu and offer personalization based on guest dining history.
