Reserve with Google

Catch guests at the moment of intent

Most reservations start with a Google search. Reserve with Google puts a Reserve a table button right next to your listing on Search and Maps, so the guest books in one tap instead of clicking through to a separate site. The booking lands in Resos like any other channel, against the same availability and the same table allocation rules.

Book from Search and Maps directly

When someone searches for your restaurant, the Reserve a table button is there. One tap opens the booking flow, the guest picks a slot from your real availability, and the booking is confirmed. No detour to a separate website, no friction between intent and reservation.

Availability stays in lockstep

Bookings made on Google sync instantly with Resos. Your booking page, Reserve with Facebook and Instagram, walk-ins, and Google all pull from the same live availability, so two guests never end up booked on the same table.

Turn Reserve with Google on inside Resos. It supports both automatic and manual booking management, so new Google bookings either auto-confirm or wait for staff review, the same way every other channel works. Table allocation, opening hours, and reminders apply identically.

Reserve with Google lets guests book a table directly from Google Search and Google Maps. When someone looks up your restaurant, a Reserve a table button sits right next to your listing, and the booking lands in Resos like any other channel – on the same calendar, against the same availability, applied to the same table allocation rules your team already uses.

What is Reserve with Google?

Reserve with Google is a feature that adds a Reserve a table button to your restaurant’s listing on Google Search and Google Maps. Diners book in real time without leaving Google, and the reservation flows straight into your connected booking system, in this case Resos, so your availability and your tables stay accurate everywhere.

How does Reserve with Google work?

Google pulls live availability from your booking provider. Once Resos is connected as your reservation partner, the Reserve a table button shows your real open slots: the guest picks a time, confirms, and the booking appears in Resos instantly. There is no separate website to click through to and no manual copying, so intent turns into a confirmed cover in a single tap.

What does Reserve with Google cost?

Reserve with Google is a paid add-on on Resos plans: a flat 7.99 EUR per month, and less if you pay yearly. Crucially, there is no per-cover commission. That is the important difference from third-party portals like OpenTable: you pay one predictable add-on fee, not a cut of every booking, and the guest relationship stays yours. Google itself does not charge the guest to use the button.

How to set up Reserve with Google with Resos

  1. Set up your Google Business Profile. Make sure your restaurant’s name and address match your Resos profile exactly, and that the profile category is set to restaurant.
  2. Turn the integration on in Resos. Go to Menu, then Settings, then Integrations, and activate Reserve with Google.
  3. Your existing settings apply automatically. Table allocation (automatic, partial, or manual), opening hours, areas, and reminders all carry over from your Resos account, so there is nothing extra to configure.
  4. Allow up to 48 hours. It can take up to two days for the Reserve a table button to appear on your Google listing. If you used Reserve with Google with another provider before, remember to select Resos as your provider in your Google profile.

Your booking and table settings carry over

Bookings made through Google sync instantly with Resos, and availability updates in real time across every channel – your booking page, Reserve with Facebook and Instagram, and walk-ins entered by the host – so two guests never end up on the same table. Whether you run automatic table allocation or assign manually, Reserve with Google fits the workflow you already use. One caveat: prepayments and deposits are not part of the Google integration yet, so if a booking needs a deposit, send the guest through your own Resos booking page.

See which channels drive your covers

Every booking is tagged with its source, and bookings from Google show up as Google in your overview. The reports section breaks down channel performance over any window you choose, so you can see exactly how much of your traffic Google is driving and compare it against your own booking page or social channels at a glance.

Frequently asked questions

What restaurants ask about Resos

How much does Reserve with Google cost?

Reserve with Google is a paid add-on on Resos plans at a flat 7.99 EUR per month, and less if you pay yearly. There is no per-cover commission, so unlike third-party portals you pay one predictable fee rather than a cut of every booking. Google itself does not charge guests to use the button.

How do I set up Reserve with Google?

In Resos, go to Menu, then Settings, then Integrations, and activate Reserve with Google. Make sure your Google Business Profile uses the same name and address as your Resos profile and has restaurant set as its category. It can take up to 48 hours for the booking button to appear on Google.

Do my Resos booking settings apply to Google bookings?

Yes. Reserve with Google uses the same settings as the rest of your account. Your table allocation, whether automatic, partial, or manual, plus opening hours, areas, and reminders all apply to Google bookings exactly as they do on your own booking page.

Can guests choose an area when they book through Google?

Yes. If you let guests pick an area in your Resos booking flow, the same option appears on your Google booking page, so they can choose where they would like to sit.

Why is the Reserve a table button not showing on Google?

First, Reserve with Google is only available in certain countries. If yours is supported, check that your Google Business Profile is complete, that its category is set to restaurant, and that your name and address are identical on Google and Resos. If it still does not appear, email hi@resos.com and the team will look into it.

Can I take deposits or no-show fees on Google bookings?

Not yet. Prepayments and no-show fees are not supported through Reserve with Google. Guests can still book through Google, but they will not be charged automatically. If a booking needs a deposit, send the guest through your own Resos booking page, or activate the charge manually.

How do I turn Reserve with Google off?

In Resos, open Settings, then Integrations, select Reserve with Google, and click Disable. The button disappears from your Google Business Profile within 48 hours, and if you were paying for the add-on the billing stops once it is disabled.
