Easy and quick bookings from Google
Reserve with Google is a brilliant service provided by Google, that allows users to book an appointment or reservation with any service provider. You might know the service as the big blue button on a restaurant's Google account. Often, it is used by restaurants or eateries around the world to ensure a smooth and easy booking experience.
By adding Reserve with Google to your restaurant, café, bar, pub, bakery, karaoke bar, or whatever establishment you may have, you are reducing friction and making it easier for both yourself and your customers to make reservations. With the blue button on your Google My Business account, you can encourage guests to easily reserve a table at your restaurant.

Management features with Reserve with Google
Reserve with Google supports all management-related features, which means that you can maintain your preferred way of working with bookings and table management.
Most important management settings:
- Automatic acceptance of bookings - the system will automatically accept new bookings if a table is available for the specified party size at the chosen time
- Manual acceptance of bookings - all new bookings will show up as pending, allowing you to accept or decline the bookings
- Automatic assignment of tables - the system will automatically find a table that fits at the time and specified party size
- Manual assignment of tables - new bookings will have to be assigned a table manually by the restaurant
- Add areas and show them on Google - if you add areas to your restaurant (or the like) and allow guests to choose an area, it will also be possible for your guests to choose an area themselves when they reserve a table.
There are a million ways to run and manage a restaurant, bar, café, or the like. And we understand that doing so is hard work that requires procedures and systems in place that support your preferred way of working. Therefore, it’s possible to customize the level of automation in relation to receiving bookings and allocating tables directly in your system. And, of course, this is no different with the Reserve with Google feature.
