Help new guests discover your restaurant and book a table directly from Google. When you connect Wix Table Reservations with your Google Business Profile, your restaurant details and reservation availability can appear in Google Search and Google Maps.

Guests can choose an available time and complete their reservation through Google’s interface, making it faster to book a table with your restaurant.

Understanding the reservation experience on Google

Currently, there are 2 reservation experiences on Google. What guests see when they click Reserve a Table depends on how your restaurant is set up.

The ability to complete a reservation directly on Google Search or Google Maps depends on several eligibility requirements. Guests see the 'Reserve a Table' button on Google and are redirected to your Reservations page to complete the booking unless your restaurant meets all of the following conditions:

Reservations are approved automatically.
You do not require prepayment.
Your reservation form does not include mandatory custom fields.
Your country is supported by Google integration.

If your restaurant does not meet all of these conditions, customers are redirected to your Reservations page to finish booking.

Step 1 | Set up your Google Business Profile

Set up or import an existing Google Business Profile to promote your restaurant on Google Search & Maps. After adding your profile, you can manage it from your site's dashboard.

Before you begin:

Make sure your site is connected to a domain.

To set up your Google Business Profile:

Go to Table Reservations in your site's dashboard.
Click Settings at the top right.
Click Reserve with Google.
Click Create Profile.
Click Start Now.
Choose how to add your Google Business Profile:

Import an existing profile

Create a new profile

Start by clicking Create New Profile and enter the name of your business in the search bar, then do as follows:

If your business appears in the list:

Click your business name in the list.
Click Next.
Click Verify & Manage.
Note: If you see an error message that says your business is managed by someone else, you'll need to request ownership of the profile.

If your business doesn't appear:

Click Next.
Choose how your business info will appear on your Profile:
1. Enter a category for your business and select an option from the list.
2. Add your basic business info – description, phone number and site URL.
3. Select a location for your business:
  - At a physical address: You only serve customers at a physical location (e.g. your coffee shop).
  - Within a service area: You only visit or deliver to customers, with no physical location they can come visit.
  - At an address and a service area: You have a physical location and you also deliver to customers (e.g. dine-in bakery, and delivery service).
4. Enter your location details based on your previous choice. For example, if you chose Within a service area, you need to select a country and enter a service area.
(Optional) Click Include optional info (photos, opening hours & more) to add more information about your business:
- Photos: Add up to 5 photos of your business.
- Opening hours: Enable the toggle to add the days of the week that you open on and the hours that you are available.
- Add attributes: Select attributes (i.e. fields with extra info) to add to your profile. For example, you can show your accepted payment methods, services you offer (e.g. paid parking), links to social media and much more.
Click Submit to Google at the top right.
- If you are not signed in to your Google account, you'll be prompted to do so.
- If you do not have a Google account, you can create one.
Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your business location.

Note:

When guests tap Reserve A Table, they can complete the reservation directly on Google.

Step 2 | Publish your site

To publish your site:

Click Go to Editor.
Click Publish at the top right.
Click Done.
