Janken Portland Reviews
Really nice ambiance and good food overall but a little
Really nice ambiance and good food overall but a little over priced for what it's worth. I think if you are looking for classic sushi then are better sushi options in town at a better price point. But if you are looking for a fancy date vibe, that is definitely here. The hamachi crispy rice was delicious and the pork sticky ribs were good too.
I had a reservation during happy hour, my friends were
I had a reservation during happy hour, my friends were running late so I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a drink. I believe it had whiskey in it so I was unsure if I'd like it but I did! I think I'll stick to coming for happy hour, the food was good but nothing that blew me away! I wish the tree in the middle of the whole place was real
This place is overpriced and the service is terrible.
The food is decent, but don't expect to leave full or happy. Probably the worst lobster I have ever had, so definitely stay away from that. We asked to have our water refilled 3 times, and they couldn't figure out the bill correctly at the end of the dinner. By the way, you are required to have a 20% tip added no matter the service you received. I love high end restaurants, and will tip way over 20% if the service is great. I never write reviews, but do yourself a favor, and go somewhere else. This restaurant falls way short, with their poor service and overpriced food.
Too much Frosting and not enough Cake ! I deliberated
Too much Frosting and not enough Cake ! I deliberated giving them another star but in my books a 4 star is a restaurant that I will return to however I don't feel any inclination to come back to Janken unless its with friends who want to visit . Despite having reservations and arriving on time , we were told to first sit at the bar and order and were eventually seated. The vibe is upscale but I wasn't the biggest fan of the seats - Not very comfortable . The staff who was attending us was sweet and did their best to explain the menu and dishes. The staff at the bar seemed aloof and cold on the other hand . The fish was fresh and the Chefs choice Nigiri was indeed stellar. Rest of the items that we ordered were just average and didn't leave an impression. The drinks were alright as well. The Wasabi that they made fresh on the spot was unique but definitely not enough to share even with the added cost. The number one con is the Pricing and pretentiousness of this place . I am all for a spendy dinner and happily shell out if the experience is worth it -but Janken didn't provide me with one .The whole experience was underwhelming at best from start to finish .The food was good but it wont blow your mind , the atmosphere is good and yes the pretty tree makes for good pictures but that's about it . When you expect people to pay a premium price for mediocre food and add a mandatory 20% gratuity ,please make the experience worth their while. I know since Portland is a foodie`s paradise there are many more places that I will prefer over them for a special occasion but if you are into 'vibes and Instagram worthy spots ' this can be the place for you .
Really delicious food and a really varied menu.
Service is prompt and efficient, although serving staff does have a minor but noticeable "cooler than thou" vibe. Superb ingredients and very high quality sushi if you're looking for straight up fish. Decor is very spiffy. A few nits: 1 If you're going to advertise your prowess as a cocktail bar, you really should have more 0 proof options than two kinds of spring water, Red Bull, and diet Red Bull . 2 The drink with the burned pineapple is very very cool, and the releasing smoke from under a cloche is cool (if about 15 years past being cutting edge), but when everyone in the place is ordering it, it means those of us trying to enjoy the tastes and smells of other things are overwhelmed with fruity smoke smell every three minutes, really interrupting the gustatory senses. 3 No more QR code menus, please please please--it just makes everyone stare at their phones even more, and makes selecting and remembering (especially when everything is served shared-style) needlessly difficult, and it makes talking about food with your fellow diners or the waiter awkward. Paper menus
If you're looking to spend it, this is the place!! So
If you're looking to spend it, this is the place!! So classy, upscale, and luxurious experience at Jankens. Perfect for date night or girls night!!! The food was amazing and drinks were to die for!! They have the best service as well. Everything was amazing!
For the most part, food and service were excellent.
Unfortunately we were served scallops that were spoiled and had a very strong flavor of ammonia. They allowed us to swap this dish out for another, but I would've expected them to either comp the bill or at the very least, discount it significantly. We also ordered a dessert to take home which included ice cream, but when asked if we could put the ice cream in a separate container, were told they didn't have any such containers and that the chef "didn't like to do that."
Great cocktails and I highly recommend trying the pineapple
Great cocktails and I highly recommend trying the pineapple express or the blueberry drink. Now they're not known for their drinks as much as they are their small plates that are mostly grate for sharing with big groups because if you're doing it with just a couple people it's gonna be a little pricey, but with big groups you can buy more and it evens out well. Now I really recommend trying the Dragon Maki. Well made and very delicious as all the dishes are. The service is very informative on the menu items which they recommend and seasonal specials and go into detail.
Came here for an anniversary dinner and it was such a
Came here for an anniversary dinner and it was such a lovely time! We were pretty impressed by most dishes, I think especially the crudo and the crispy rice bites! My boyfriend especially loved the wagyu rice bowl. The drinks were also so good! Cant remember what drink it was but the one that comes with purple foam is super cool cuz it makes the drink green when you mix it haha. The inside is also decorated so cutely, esp love the tree in the middle. And the staff is nice enough to hold onto your jackets for you. Our server was also phenomenal and REALLY knew the menu inside and out.
Nice wait staff but horrible prices and mediocre food
Nice wait staff but horrible prices and mediocre food (after a ONE HOUR wait--not even busy or packed) We got 4 regular sized sushi rolls and some oysters and a piece of cake and hit a total of $250 with 20% added on at the end for the "wait staff" regardless if anything was up to our expectations. So almost $300. Had we actually ordered the amount that we usually get at Meeka or Sbarro (both of which taste 10 times better) we would have been looking at $500+ for a basic Japanese dinner. Yes the ambience is nice but cmon an hour wait for basic rolls grocery store sushi workers prepare in 5 minutes?
WORST. DINING EXPERIENCE. EVER. and I mean EVER.
They should change the name to JUNK. I normally do not go out of my way to write a review, but this experience was so over the top repulsive that it could not be ignored. I had met met friend who I hadn't seen in years for a nice meal, to catch up and enjoy the evening. About 20 minutes before the "time limit" had approached, the little girl waitress informed us that our "time was almost up" and they needed our table for the next party. We were only about half way done with our meal and had just ordered another round of ridiculously expensive drinks. When we informed her we would not be finished with our meal within the "time limit", she informed us she could "box it up" for us. An over $300 meal boxed to go. UNBELIEVABLE. We informed her we would be finishing our meal yet she continued to come to our table and interrupt our meal about every 5 minutes after that to inform us that we were reaching our "time limit" and that we would need to leave. At one point this condescending little girl had the audacity to say "I'm not sure you're aware, but this is how dining works." Finally she came by offering to box up our food WHILE WE WERE STILL EATING and at that point we were so utterly disgusted by the whole experience we decided to leave. While we were waiting for the boxes the owner of the restaurant came over and essentially did the same thing that the little girl waitress did. Not even an apology, just more iterating of the "time limit". He asked if we wanted to move to the bar and we said no. We suggested they put the next party at the bar. While I understand that some restaurants can't control their own flow and have to put a time limit on your meal, it seems to me when you are charging ridiculous prices like this, that you have some means of accommodating people when they go over the "time limit" for their meal. And NOT at the bar. Perhaps a couple of seats left available unseated. I dont know, SOMETHING. This is totally unacceptable how this was handled. I have been dining all over this country, and the world, for over 40 years and never in my life have I been treated in this manner. It was disgusting and repulsive and I would not recommend this place to a street dog. To add further insult to injury, you are not given an option to tip what you think its worth, they have the audacity to assume on the front end that it is worth an additional 20% "service charge" even before you are provided the "service". If I had had cash on me I would NOT have paid this absurd service charge. This horrible waitress would have received nothing from us. This is unfortunate, because the food was actually quite good. But I will never go back and I will dissuade anyone I know from eating here.
Not like it usually is.
When Janken first opened up my husband and I were so excited to try it. I originally went with friend. It was fantastic then we returned again for my daughters birthday with her friends and the service was phenomenal. The food was fantastic. Everything was perfection. I couldn’t have been more happy. Price point is a bit high, but considering the quality of the food and service that’s not a problem. We have been there three or four times since and last Thursday we went lfor my birthday. Got to tell you I was pretty disappointed. The service is always fantastic Ann is amazing She’s very informative. She knows exactly what recommendations to make. She’s professional well spoken and represents what I feel. The Restaurant would like their staff to represent. Unfortunately, I feel this last time there will probably be our last time. We have some items that we always order when we’ve been there and like I said we’ve been there five or six times this last time the food wasn’t the same. The sticky rice was cold and tasted almost stale like it have been left out. They changed their recipe for their steak tartar so the flavor is not the same either the beverage service was very slow although the beverages were very good we tried a few new items we hadn’t tried before the lobster rolls which were very tasty. We tried some ribs, and we also tried the Wagyu potstickers, I would say on a scale of one to 10 my last experience at this establishment would be a six and prior to this last visit. I would say that the restaurant was constantly a ten. It’s unfortunate that once the restaurant became popular in the Portland metro area, it often affects the food service and quality of food service due to popularity. I feel like that’s what’s happened with Janken. Pretty sad really.
This was our second time coming here! We made a resv, but
This was our second time coming here! We made a resv, but this time made one during regular dinner hours and not happy hour. The ambiance here is amazing, the cherry blossom in the middle is so pretty! However, be warned, the music is very loud in there. Our service was much better this time than last, we felt that our waiter came around more often and didn't forget about our table. We started off with the sojuko cocktail, this was delicious! It was white grape flavored, but if you don't like sweet drinks don't order it. The only downside to not coming during happy hour, besides the higher pricing, is that there are happy hour items they don't have on the regular menu. I don't eat raw fish, but my brother said the Kanpachi Crudo crudo was very tasty and refreshing. The KFC was good, but nothing special. If you want a cheaper protein get this. The Mushroom Bao Buns were good, but the soft shell crab ones from happy hour are better. I would skip the Dragon Maki Roll, they put lettuce in it and I thought that was weird. I would definitely get the crispy prawns again though! The Pork Belly, Pork Sticky Ribs, and Grilled Ribeye were all delicious and I'd order any of those again! The Dynamite Roll was ok, but really expensive for 7 pieces. The vegetable fried is also delicious and I'd order that again too. For dessert, I highly recommend the sorbet and the panna cotta!! The panna cotta came with a passion fruit sauce that was amazing. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant, but worth it!
Very yummy Japanese Korean fusion restaurant! Highly
Very yummy Japanese Korean fusion restaurant! Highly recommend the brussel sprouts, oysters, pork belly chop salad, but honestly you cannot go wrong. Amazing service and beautiful cozy vibes in the restaurant. Get dessert!!
This place was impressive and authentic.
Everything that we ordered was delicious with amazing flavor and tasted fresh. Many places don't impress me, but this place definitely deserves 5 star. We will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu. Totally recommend coming here!!
This is a fun date spot.
Nice decor, tasty cocktails, some with fun presentations, and food perfect for splitting. We liked almost every dish, and loved the ribs and bao. The mushroom tempura was a tiny portion of mushroom and almost entirely tempura which was a bit strange. The sushi ice cream was cute but lacking the strong flavors of the rest of the menu. Service was friendly but odd the night we went- unclear if it was short staffing or what the cause was. Dishes and drinks were spaced out unevenly with some coming very quickly and then very long gaps other times. One dish was forgotten and eventually came after a reminder. Seating is tight in most of the restaurant- we were very close to the table next to us and felt in their conversation on multiple occasions due to a loud talker at their table. Our table was next to a pole and should be removed- I scooted as close to the table as possible after being bumped once and continued to be bumped and tripped over by staff trying to get between the table/chair and the pole. We saw some other people having issues with their tables being too close to things as well. We will return to try more of their menu and hope for more consistent service and a better table.
We were having a blast celebrating our friend's birthday
We were having a blast celebrating our friend's birthday and absolutely loved the delicious food and cozy atmosphere. This spot really gives off a vibe of elegance and style for a fun night out in PDX. Plus, the diverse menu options were a hit with everyone in our group.
Amazing food and great service - great ambience.
.. I definitely recommend this restaurant!
This spot was an accident.
We were driving home from a meeting we had over near the Pearl and we decided to stop for sushi. I quickly pulled up my yelp app and searched for Sushi and this was the nearest one NW Everett which we were driving on. We pulled over, I checked out the photos and menu and said let's do it. Walking in, you notice the huge white cherry tree in the middle and big beautiful ambient lights. The room is dim and cozy and there is music playing in the background and tables of beautiful, happy, young people. What looked like some couples on dates, friends at a dinner party, casual after work business meetings, University friends getting together for drinks and tapas. It was definitely a vibe. Food: Japanese Korean fusion tapas style meant to be ordered and shared amongst friends, family, collegues. Whomever you decide to chill with here. The food was delicious and flavorful and I personally wish I would've order more of the side veggies options. The brussel sprouts are a MUST. I also had a dragon roll with shrimp tempura and eel. Hubs had a yummy tuna roll and Lil Miss had the fried rice with tofu. All had flavors that are not your average Sushi taste. I loved the "fusion" of it. Service: Was lovely, every time they brought and item they described it to you and the waitress that kept bring me water was on it. Ambience: was spot on. This place looked and felt like a really chill but fun and happening place. Everyone was dressed really nice but in a casual chill way. It was busy and chatty but not overcrowded. Surprising for a Thursday!! If you are looking for a fun spot to meet up with friends for tapas and drinks...you must try this place.
Pre-concert dinner on point
We chose Janken for its gastronomic proposal and we were delighted by the food, decoration and service. I suggest the lobster roll, compliments of the spicy tuna and rainbow roll, very well prepared. Accompanied by a sparkling sake or some of the very well-made cocktails. Don't skip the chocolat bar dessert, very delicious. Note: 20% of the service is included in the bill.
This restaurant is just not very good.
Its got a starbucks of fine-dining vibe, almost as if their intent is to cater to bridge and tunnel clientele. Its generically upscale. There is no real creativity or passion to the food.
Good service.
Very busy after 6pm I would recommande booking a table. Instagramable venue and food presentation. On the expensive side. We ordered sushi and it tasted very fresh. Good drinks options. Nice ambiance.
This Japanese restaurant serves outstanding food with
This Japanese restaurant serves outstanding food with excellent service. The ambiance is serene, elegant and beautiful. But the noise level made conversation among the four of us difficult. Please turn down the music!
Smoky infused drinks await you
A smoky haze greets you at the door. This is from the popular infused mezcal drinks. The cocktails seem to be their signature feature. The portions are tapas style R dinner plate prices. Food is good, fish fresh and creative. Good for special occasions. As is the trend these days, everyone is trying to be more inventive with drinks and food. Jenken has occupied the former blue hour space, which is in a neighborhood full of restaurant choices.
I thought it would be quite the treat to celebrate my best
I thought it would be quite the treat to celebrate my best friend's birthday at Janken. We ordered several different types of nigiris, and they were all so fresh and yummy! We ordered the kimchi fried rice just for some carbs, and I don't think you can call that a kimchi fried rice - where's the kimchi?..... And they charge additional 8 bucks for protein... Kimchi fried rice should not be that expensive... Go to a legit Korean restaurant for that, but for sashimi and nigiris, Janken was yummy!
Amazing service and loved all of the food.
Table was ready before reservation time, no having to wait. Definitely recommend!
The service was wonderful and attentive.
The nightshade cocktail was overly sweet and weak (or maybe I'm just used to those Castro pours in SF). Food was hit and miss. The sushi was quite good but the crispy brussel spouts where soggy in some sauce. Overall not bad but I don't think I'd go back.
Me and my wife went for dinner yesterday.
Food was great. Atmospher was great. Price is on the high side but not to bad for the experience and atmosphere. For the two of us it cost $218The one thing that I really did not like was the there was a 20% gratituy added to the bill. That is surprising for a party of two. I don't have a problem with the 20% but I did not like NOT being told its added. The waiter made no mention of it and with the lighting its hard to see it is included. I need readers to read most things so when I get the bill I just look at the total and add a tip. When we got home my wife justified it as saying "one should read the bill". I do not agree with that train of thought. I have been to many places where gratiuty is added for groups of 4 and more but the waiter always mentions it. Also, when you are out for nice evening out you don't need to be reading the itemized bill.Did NOT leave me with a good feeling.
- very tasty food- very pricey- beautiful tree made from
- very tasty food- very pricey- beautiful tree made from preserved cherry blossom trees and silk petals - personally the waiters came around too often
Great service everyone is very attentive in this restaurant.
Ambiance is really nice more of a upscale causal vibe if that makes sense. All the food was really fresh and tasted good. I love that when a plate was empty someone came and got it. For cocktails I recommend the Night Owl(espresso martini) and the Whats the Match. For food it's served family style so get a few different things to try. We really liked the Wagyu Gyoza, Steak Tartare, Blackened Cod and the Hamachi Crispy Rice is a must. Lovely spot!
I have lived in the Pearl for the past 15 years.
Fortunate to have Blue Hour as our "local restaurant and bar" that we gathered for amazing food and drinks. I have been to Janken 6x and I have been kicked out every time after 2 hours. It doesn't matter how much we spend or that we want to come back every night.I was hoping Janken would be the local place the professionals and friends can join. Unfortunately, this isn't place to hang with your fronds and colleagues. Very good for the bridge and tunnel who live out of town and have 2 hour parking. Lucky you.
Super easy to make reservations if you do it ahead of time!
Super easy to make reservations if you do it ahead of time! I made mine about 2.5 weeks before when I wanted to go & there was still availability. Janken is a whole experience in itself from the food to the ambience to the staff members, etc. Walked in to the beautifully lit cherry blossom tree in the middle of the restaurant & nice employeesOur server was so awesome & really knew her stuff! My boyfriend got the Pineapple Express that came out in a cool glass that covered the drink in smoke. Definitely a very smoky drink since it also has Mezcal in it but it tastes good overall. I got the Rose City that came out beautifully presented with a rose ice cube & it was a yummy, refreshing drink! We ordered 4 dishes to share since it is sharing style there. The Dragon Maki roll was good but nothing special about it. The Wagyu Gyoza was delicious! And the sauce that they used was very complimenting. Our server let us know what their specials were & we got the Surf & Turf Roll which was pack with flavor! "Dang that's some good stuff" were the first words out of my boyfriend's mouth after the first bite of it haha. Lastly for dinner, the Hamachi Crispy Rice hands down was my favorite! Soo yummy with the citrus flavors & the crunch from the rice. Since we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday we had to end with the strawberry cheesecake for dessert which was so light, fluffy & refreshing! They surprised us with the bday Sushi Ice Cream. The in house made ice cream, rice crispy, & chocolate sauce was just perfect, not too sweet. It is spendy here but it makes sense why Janken is priced the way it is. Janken is an experience all in allCan't wait to go back again!
Amazing food and drink options, I'll definitely be back!
Amazing food and drink options, I'll definitely be back! The quality of service and food was top tier!
Janken provides an excellent cuisine and service.
Everything we had was delicious especially Steak Tartare, sashimi, black cod.... We will definitely be back to try out other items on the menu.
This place blew my mind! Definitely will be back since
This place blew my mind! Definitely will be back since everything on the menu looked incredible. All cocktails can be ordered virgin except for the Night Owl. Came for my birthday and they gave me sushi ice cream with a candle which was so nice. Everything was delicious and so fresh and the restaurant was beautiful. The fire alarm did end up going off during our dinner but the staff came to explain that a hot stone set it off and it wasn't too disruptive. The table side truffle on the miso cod was an extra $20 and a fun experience but probably unnecessary. The cod was so good already. Truffle was from Burgundy, France. With the chef's choice sashimi we got maguro, sake, hamachi and I believe Shima Aji. Wasabi was fresh wasabi which is also nice! 20% service fee is included. Can't wait to be back and try the rest of the menu, bravo!
I tried the brussel sprouts, tuna sashimi, and black cod
I tried the brussel sprouts, tuna sashimi, and black cod entree, and all were excellent. The cod was the best I have ever had- the depth of flavor was excellently pair with the miso, and the veg on top was light and flavorful. The brussel sprout appetizer was decadent and well done. All around a good times, and the decor has a whimsical elevated feel.
A typical pop up, try to be something, but end of the day
A typical pop up, try to be something, but end of the day zero substance example of what Portland doesn't need. Third time dinning here, I'm from out of town, and every time the bill and the dishonesty come to the surface. This time, friends 40th birthday. First bill, $485, second bill "oh sorry, that persons with you" $512 ... review itemized bill, FOUR meals on there not ours, one of them $60. Disappear for 20 minutes, "sorry your bill is $550" ...It doesn't matter if they can make a drink. It doesn't matter they can make a middle of the road Japanese fusion meal. From A-Z, this place is an example of someone trying to profit from a "we're authentic" and "we"re bespoke" Portland hot spot.This place is flat out BS and from the tanked "owners wife" in her Canadian tuxedo at the bar to the fake dust covered tree, avoid avoid avoid. Literally a joke, y'all should be ashamed.
Loved everything about this restaurant! Well done.
Coming back again soon. The price is worth it.
Dining at Janken is a favorite!
I have dined here twice and will continue to come back! This restaurant has something for everyone! I love all of their seafood options and my partner loves their steaks and meat dishes. With the beautiful silk blossomed cherry tree as your backdrop, dining here is super romantic and special. The wine and sake selection is impressive and the cocktails are hand crafted to perfection!
Best restaurant in Portland
I can not stay away from this restaurant! The quality of the food is unmatched as well as their service. Must try the spicy tuna roll, the short rib buns, the A5 steak , hoisin ribs, and the strawberry shaved ice dessert. 10000/10.
Great food but overpriced and got rushed out
Let me start by saying we are foodies and have lived in Chicago , Austin , Tampa , and now Portland. We came last night to experience the " hottest new restaurant in Portland ". Now open for 3 months. The tree in the center and the white sheer drapes and tall ceilings just draw you in. Our reservation as for 5:15 pm. We got sat down and put 2 friends were already there. I had the Pineapple Express which was good but more presentation forward with the smoker. Very cool. The taste. Hmmm. Weak and fruity. For $21 first let down of the evening. Moving onto service. Service was great for the most part. Our server explained everything and menu is served family style and you order a bunch of things and they come out as they are ready. We had lots of items for our party of 4. When our first round of drinks were finished, the server never came back for probably 20 minutes to ask if we would like more. So food kept coming out. Food was all fabulous. Some of the items were definitely overpriced for what you get and we don't mind paying for it. $38 for dynamite roll. Eek. We get it. It's high end. It's new but wow. So towards end of meal we are just sitting there and drinking for a while thinking we have more food coming and server ask if we are ready for dessert or to order more food. We ask about the dynamite roll that we didn't eat and she checks with sushi bar. Sure enough it was forgotten. No worries. Another 25 minutes go by and out comes the roll. We eat that then the server comes and says that she knows we are celebrating a birthday and we're ready to order dessert. We order dessert and by this time it's about 7:35 pm. Yes, we are ordering things. Yes things take a long time to come out and we were spending money.... we order dessert and and the server comes back to let us know that she was " just informed by the hostess that the table was needed by 7:50 pm for the next party" . I get it. There's a time frame for everything but they forgot one of our items and had to make it and we just ordered dessert and they needed us gone by 7:50. Eek. So dessert comes at 7:47 and we joked with our friends that we have 3 minutes to eat dessert and finish our drinks. We had a few bites and the server came again and said she could box up our cake to go and that the next party was arriving. Wow. The bill came and we already knew it would be a lot. No Worries. The kicker is that they added the gratuity on already. That's not common for a party of 4 compared to a large party. We normally tip above 20% but not in cases like this. It's a disservice to the patrons. We have never felt so rushed out at any restaurants in the US we have dined in. The bill was also $600 with the tip. Overall great experience but they definitely need to Work on sone things. We most likely will not be back when the food scene in Portland has much better experiences waiting.
Elegant !!
We, as a party of 3, went to eat at Janken's last evening. It was fantastic! Great service Great Food with excellent flavor . Plates were beautifully presented. Dining room Decor is 5 stars! Chef, owner came to our table and was so gracious . Will certainly go back! I will certainly be recommending to others!!!
LOVE THIS PLACE!!
One of the best, if not, THE BEST place to dine in Portland. The vibe is top tier, the food also TOP TIER, and the service went above and beyond to meet my expectations. They really love what they do and they make it a point to serve and put you, the consumer, at the center of the whole experience. PORTLAND NEEDED THIS! THANK YOU!
SUCH AN AMAZING SPOT!
Amazing ambiance, drinks & food! Customer service on point and food to die for.. next time you go in, you have to try the kimchi fried rice and sushi desert !
Amazing across the board!
My wife and I had a couples date Sunday night and we were impressed across the board with everything Janken had to offer. The food was fantastic. Must try as many dishes as possible! The drinks were creatively delicious and instagram worthy. The atmosphere was fun, elegant and comfortable at the same time. And the servers were friendly and very accommodating to our needs. This is an experience all around and a must try for Portland. We will be back!!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Janken Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Janken Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at Janken Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
