Frequently asked questions — Website and reservations for restaurants

How can a restaurant reduce no-shows?

Five web levers make the difference: online booking, automated SMS and email reminders, active confirmation the day before, a card hold on sensitive slots (large parties, peak evenings), and a waitlist to reassign freed tables. Together, they capture the right contact, anchor commitment and fill cancelled tables, within Law 25.

Why does a restaurant website get visits but few reservations?

Traffic and conversion are two separate problems. A restaurant site visitor wants two things immediately: to see the menu (and feel the appetite) and to book a table effortlessly. If the booking button is missing, the menu is a PDF unreadable on mobile, or dish photos are absent, they book at the restaurant next door.

Should you show vegan, gluten-free and allergy options on the site?

Yes, it is an often-overlooked reservation trigger. More and more guests choose a restaurant based on their constraints: vegan option, gluten-free, allergies, kids' menu, family or large-group welcome. Showing this information reassures and captures precise searches like "vegan restaurant" or "gluten-free restaurant."
