Restaurant Website Designer Guide to Reservations

Is your host stand overwhelmed by phone calls on Friday nights? Do you have a paper reservation book that is messy, prone to errors, or gets lost? If so, your website is failing to support your operations. Modern restaurant website designer strategies focus heavily on automation and reducing friction for the guest.

Integration Reservations with Major Platforms

We integrate leading reservation platforms like OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or Tock directly into your website.

• Real-Time Availability: Customers see exactly when they can eat. If 7:00 PM is booked, the system suggests 6:30 or 7:30, saving your staff from having to negotiate times over the phone.

• Reduced No-Shows: Automated SMS and email reminders significantly cut down on missed reservations.

• Data Collection: These systems capture birthdays, anniversaries, and dietary preferences, allowing you to offer personalized service that builds loyalty.

Custom Booking Forms for Private Events

For smaller venues or large party inquiries (e.g., groups of 10+), standard apps often charge high fees or don't collect enough info. We can build custom booking forms that ask for budget, occasion, and special requests. This pre-qualifies the lead before it ever reaches your event manager.

The User Journey: "Book a Table"

The "Book a Table" button is the most important button on your site.

• Placement: It should be in the sticky header so it follows the user as they browse the menu.

• Design: It should use a contrasting color to stand out.

• Function: It should open a modal (pop-up) rather than loading a new page, keeping the user immersed in your site experience.
