Select the date, time, and amount of people; and then book it!

After clicking on the restaurant of your choice, fill-up the date, time, and the amount of people in your group to
check the availability. If your requested details are available, then you simply have to click ‘confirm reservation’ to
book your seats.

If in case something comes up and you either have to totally cancel it or modify your reservation details, no worries.
That’s easy to do, as well! Our group was originally composed of 4 people, for instance, but since another one
joined, I had to update it, and it was so easy to do :) For those who will cancel their booking, it would be best to
cancel early instead of being a ‘no-show’ because 3 incidences of being a no-show could get you blocked blocked
from the app for a certain amount of time….

Assuming you accept reservations at your restaurant, even if it’s only during certain
hours or days, an online booking app is an ideal way to not only save your staff time but
also create a better experience for your customers.
It’s extremely frustrating when a group of customers arrive at a restaurant only to find
out that there will be an hour wait for a table. Allowing those customers to book a table
ahead of time would have stopped them from eventually finding a different nearby
restaurant that would take them.
As for your staff, constantly answering the phone to take reservations and remembering
to write down the proper information can be quite a hassle. Human errors are
sometimes made, especially when the restaurant is busy, and it also wastes a lot of
time.
Using an online booking app gives customers to freedom to book a reservation
whenever and wherever they would like without having to call you.
We’ve listed below some of the best online booking apps so that you can choose which
one is best for your restaurant.

With Yelp Reservations you can accept bookings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without
doing a thing. It only takes a few minutes to setup and then you can add a widget to
your website or just take reservations from your Yelp page. The system will
automatically confirm with and remind guests to free up your time.
Yelp Reservations not only let’s you accept bookings online, but it also has a table
management component.
You can keep track of your restaurant’s entire floor, assign servers and guests to
specific tables and give walk-ins an accurate wait time if your restaurant is at capacity.

Online Reservation System: OpenTable

OpenTable is another online booking app that you have likely heard about. They’re one
of the most popular apps for restaurants. Similar to Yelp Reservations, OpenTable
allows you to accept reservations through both the OpenTable website or through your
own website via their widget. The OpenTable app will confirm and notify your customers
of their reservation. They will also be able to modify their reservation without having to
call you back.
One of the main benefits of using OpenTable is that it is highly recognizable by most
customers, which means they’ll trust using it online.
