Hear why restaurant owners love Yelp Host
One of the things I appreciate most is how well it handles multiple calls at once—every call is answered without delay. The cost is also a fraction of what I expected when comparing it to other services I had considered. Yelp Host is not only much more affordable, but it also integrates seamlessly with Yelp Guest Manager, which itself is very competitively priced and feature-rich compared to alternatives.
