I stopped receiving verification codes to my phone two days ago for no clear reason, which locked me out of managing my reservations. I reached out to customer service for help, but haven't received any response. Very disappointing experience when trying to manage time-sensitive bookings.

Once sign up was organised (needs a workaround after making a booking to help set it up), it has been easy to use. Some restaurants aren't suggested though, so might just rely heavily on reviews. Helps with a lot of reviews as that points to more locals eating there and reviewing it

Discrimantory System fee (440 ¥ per person, only for tourists! I understand asking for a deposit, but this is not a deposit, the fee doesn't count towards your bill, it is pocketed by tablelog and doesn't go to the restaurant. Use Tablecheck instead.
