Access, Membership-Based Reservation Platform, Launches in New York City

NEW YORK, February 04, 2025 /BUSINESS WIRE/ --

Access Members Inc., which has just begun seatings this month, is a membership-based reservation platform powered by technology, built out of a collective desire to revolutionize how individuals book coveted dining experiences and hospitality centered events. Designed for those who crave certainty and ease, the platform features a streamlined, user-friendly mobile app that offers an alternative for discerning diners amid the growing demand for dining out, which has created supply challenges and fueled the rise of reservation scalping by piracy sites. Access partners with leading restaurants, cocktail lounges and nightclubs to deliver a seamless booking experience that benefits consumers and hospitality operators alike.

Unlike other platforms, Access eliminates the hassle of rigid pre-paid minimum spends, endless searches for desirable reservations, and long waiting lists. Members can effortlessly book their favorite restaurants in just a few taps, saving valuable time while eliminating the guesswork and stress of planning.

“Access isn’t just another reservation app; it’s a service built for everyone who loves dining out and seeks a better way to connect with sought-after restaurants,” said Co-Founders Evan Felcher and Mattia Ros. “Whether it’s grabbing a quick cocktail after work or planning a client dinner, Access makes the experience seamless - just like choosing an airline seat. Whether you prefer economy, business or first class, there’s an option tailored to your needs.”

The two visionary entrepreneurs bring an innovative approach to the market, aiming to unlock the full potential of restaurants and democratize seamless booking access for consumers.

Restaurant Partners
Access is revolutionizing the ways in which restaurants generate revenue by unlocking an entirely new income stream - beyond the sale of traditional food and beverage. The mission is simple yet impactful: to empower restaurants to monetize their brand and leverage the years of dedication that drives constant consumer interest. Unlike any platform in the market, Access stands out as the only solution that doesn’t take a single dollar from restaurants. Instead, it offers an innovative partnership model designed to enhance profitability; all without financial risk.

What sets the platform apart is its ability to seamlessly integrate into restaurant operations. The model operates so effortlessly behind the scenes that restaurants hardly notice its presence. With no added workload for front of house staff, it provides a frictionless solution that improves profitability while allowing restaurant teams to focus on what they do best - delivering exceptional guest experiences.

At its core, Access is dedicated to supporting the restaurant community by empowering venues to leverage their brand equity. Proving to be more than just a partner, the platform serves as an advocate for restaurants, ensuring they thrive in an ever-evolving hospitality landscape. With Access, restaurants are not just filling seats, they’re unlocking their full potential.

The Membership
Access offers three membership tiers starting at $149 per month, providing options tailored to meet a variety of consumer dining needs and preferences. Additionally, the Guest Experience feature allows non-members to download the app for free and book tables on an a la carte basis.

For businesses, Access provides a Corporate Membership plan that simplifies organizing team outings, client dinners and special events centered around hospitality.

The Team
Co-Founders Evan Felcher and Mattia Ros first crossed paths as rivals on the competitive division 1 college tennis circuit and later reconnected while working on Wall Street. Bonding over a shared passion for tennis, travel and dining, the pair quickly identified a common frustration: the pain points of the city’s reservation landscape.

Ros, raised in Italy’s renowned hospitality scene, brings a deep-rooted passion for the industry, cultivated through his family’s portfolio of restaurants, nightclubs and hotels. His insider perspective is complemented by Felcher’s expertise in advising technology companies on business transformations and his understanding of the potential in recurring revenue business models - an untapped opportunity within the hospitality sector. Together, their mission is clear: to offer diners seamless access to their favorite restaurants while empowering venues to optimize operations and unlock new revenue streams. Focused on building a product that serves both sides of the marketplace, the duo is committed to driving meaningful innovation in the hospitality technology sector.
