Tock is a reservation, table, and event management system used by restaurants, wineries, and bars around the world.
About us
Tock is a comprehensive platform built to fundamentally change the way restaurants, bars, and wineries think about and run their business. This includes a robust reservation, takeout/delivery, guest, and table management system for businesses of all sizes across the globe. Tock was founded in 2014 but the idea originated years before out of a simple frustration. Nick Kokonas and Chef Grant Achatz opened Alinea to international fanfare in 2005 - now a perennial Michelin three star and widely considered one of the best restaurants in the world. For years they were spending $140,000 a year on staff dedicated to managing reservations and losing an average of $260,000 a year on cancellations. Convinced there had to be a better way, Nick started work on a crude ticketing system. The homemade platform was a success. Soon after Nick founded Tock with Brian Fitzpatrick, founder of Google's Chicago engineering office, to turn this simple idea into a robust product complete with all the tools a restaurant needs to succeed.

Like I say in this interview, “…innovation remains central to (Tock’s) identity. Since our founding in 2014, we've challenged industry norms by pioneering prepayment options, variable pricing, and customizable experiences that drive revenue and prevent no-shows.” We will continue, as part of American Express, and in conjunction with our sister company, Resy, to lead the industry with innovation based on a passion for the restaurant industry.

Introducing The Firsts. This year, we celebrate Tock’s 10th anniversary by launching Tock 10, a monthly series that brings culinary stories to life through curated collections, all centered around a distinct theme. Our inaugural collection, The Firsts, pays tribute to the places that joined Tock at the very beginning. These are the innovators. The risk-takers. The ones that forged their own path and shaped hospitality over the last decade. Each month, we’re back with a new collection of restaurants and wineries that should be on your radar. For now, experience The Firsts. https://bit.ly/3Dboinp
