How Amelie Wine Bar uses Reservations to reduce cancellations

Samie, owner of Amelie Wine Bar in San Francisco and New York, talks about why he loves Yelp Reservations and how it helps him and his restaurant.

Amelie Wine Bar is named after Samie’s daughter. The restaurant started with one location in San Francisco, which opened in 2006. In 2012, a second location opened in New York City. They’re best known for their generous pours, wine flights, and great hospitality.

Switching to Yelp Reservations was a simple process. After having a couple phone calls and receiving an iPad, they were up and running. The system works well, giving a useful view of the restaurant floor plan, and the staff loves it. Plus, Samie appreciates the flat rate. Amelie Wine Bar receives less reservation cancellations because customers get email and text reminders.
