Create a reservation service

Set Lunch, Diners, Pop-up events, Special deals on your Widget.

Guests reserve through your reservation widget, but that only works once you've set up your services and their availability. A service can be anything guests book, like lunch, dinner, or even a workshop.

Getting started

  • Go to Reservations > Settings > Availability, and select Create availability.

Details

  • Give the service a name guests will recognize right away, like Lunch or Dinner.

  • Add a description of what guests can expect, from an upscale tasting menu to a relaxed Sunday brunch. If you serve guests in more than one language, add translations for the name and description using the language selector.

  • Upload an image for the booking widget. PNG or JPEG work, and 800 by 500 pixels is the recommended size.

  • Pick a color for this service. Every reservation tied to it gets highlighted that color, so you can spot it at a glance.

Payments and refunds

  • Turn on Confirm reservation with payment to cut down on no-shows. Guests will need to prepay or leave a card on file before their reservation is confirmed.

Widget customization

  • By default, guests can book this service straight from your widget. Turn that off, and it's only bookable through a direct link instead.

  • Turn on Highlight in widget to feature the service, useful for a one-off event or a special menu.

  • If your image already shows the service name, turn on Hide service card name so it's not shown twice. You can also write a custom subtitle for the card, or leave it blank to keep the automatic one.

  • Turn on Hide automated text to remove the auto-generated prepayment and timing details. This is useful if you're using prepayments to sell an entrance ticket to a special event. Your custom subtitle and bullet points still show.

  • Add a few bullet points to highlight the essentials, on the details page and on the booking form.

Saving your service

  • Save it, and you'll also get a direct booking link for this service, ready to share anywhere outside the widget.
