SMS Terms
Reservation texting — coming soon
Reservation texting is not yet active. Once activated, text RESERVE to 484-629-6005 to request reservation assistance from Circa 1898. We will ask you to reply YES to agree to reservation texts before enrolling you for confirmations, updates and upcoming-reservation reminders. Messages may be automated or sent by staff. Message frequency varies by reservation and conversation. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is optional and is not a condition of booking or purchase. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Pickup-order SMS consent does not enroll you in reservation reminders.
Reservation texts will cover your requested date, time and party size, availability alternatives, menu and seating questions, booking confirmation, changes, cancellations and reminders. A request does not guarantee a booking; your reservation is confirmed only when we send a successful booking confirmation. This program does not send marketing messages.
The enrollment prompt will read: “Circa 1898: Reply YES to receive reservation assistance, confirmations, updates and reminders by text. Frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Consent is optional. STOP to opt out; HELP for help. Terms: https://pos.circa1898.com/pickup/terms/ Privacy: https://pos.circa1898.com/pickup/privacy/”
After YES, the service will confirm: “Circa 1898: You are enrolled for reservation assistance and updates. Frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. STOP to opt out; HELP for help. What date, time and party size would you like?”
Until reservation texting is activated, book through our online reservation system. For help, email dean@circa1898.com.
Pickup-order texts
By selecting the optional SMS checkbox at checkout, you consent to automated Circa 1898 texts about that pickup order, including confirmation, estimated pickup time, ready-for-pickup notices, and changes or delays. This program does not send marketing texts. Consent is not a condition of purchase.
Message frequency varies by order. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of future texts; you may receive an opt-out confirmation. Reply HELP for help, email dean@circa1898.com, or call 484-629-6005. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
If you opt in to pickup texts, we send a payment confirmation and a ready-for-pickup notice when staff mark your order ready. If texts are unavailable or delayed, use your on-screen confirmation and estimated pickup time, or call us for an update.
See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information and consent.
