Enhancing Restaurant Operations with OneRegi and Toreta

The integration of OneRegi, a comprehensive POS system designed explicitly for the restaurant sector, with Toreta's reservation management system marks a significant advancement in streamlining restaurant operations. Skydining Co., Ltd., based in Toshima, Tokyo, has announced the collaboration with Toreta, which operates from Shibuya, Tokyo, allowing restaurant owners to manage their operations more efficiently through this real-time API connection.

Background of the Integration

As many as 2,000 restaurants across the nation have relied on OneRegi for their sales management and operational support. However, one common challenge they face, particularly during peak times, is the double handling of reservations and the potential for error stemming from manual entry delays, leading to lost opportunities.

Restaurants aiming to boost their direct customer engagement through phone or website bookings prefer to keep reservation slots open as late as possible. In doing so, they risk problems such as double bookings, especially if information on walk-in customers isn't updated in the POS system or reservation ledger promptly. These friction points can lead to missed opportunities, directly impacting a restaurant's revenue.

In response to extensive feedback from its users, the OneRegi and Toreta API integration is set to transform how reservations and seating information is managed in real-time. This partnership aims to address the core issues faced by restaurateurs in managing both reservations and walk-ins effectively.

Features Enabled by the Integration

1. Real-Time Reservation Information: Incoming reservations made on Toreta will instantly display the customer's name, reservation time, and party size in the OneRegi interface starting August 1, 2026. Future updates are planned to include visibility on portable devices as well.

2. Automatic Walk-In Management: Walk-in customers can now be seamlessly integrated into the system. When a walk-in customer checks in, their information will automatically be recorded in the Toreta system without requiring manual updates.

3. Automatic Status Updates: Each customer’s visit, payment, cancellation, or no-show will result in automatic updates within the Toreta reservation system. This ensures that the restaurant always maintains an accurate view of its seating availability.

4. Table Change Notifications: If a table change occurs before checkout, this change is automatically reflected in the reservation information within the Toreta system.

5. Real-Time Synchronization of Key Milestones: The integration allows instant transmission of customer check-in and checkout information from OneRegi to Toreta, helping streamline the customer management process.

This comprehensive integration significantly reduces the manual workload on restaurant staff by eliminating the need to reconcile information between reservation books and POS systems. The outcome is improved vacancy management and enhanced table turnover rates, which are crucial for maximizing restaurant efficiency.

Hiroaki Kataoka, CEO of Skydining, expressed his enthusiasm for this integration, highlighting the persistent demand from restaurants for API connectivity with the Toreta system. He foresees the possibility of minimizing missed opportunities and optimizing restaurant profitability as major benefits of this real-time linkage.
