Wix Restaurants: Adding and Setting Up Wix Table Reservations
9 min read
Add the Wix Table Reservations app to your Wix Restaurant site to let your customers book a table online.
Once you add the app, you can manage all your restaurant's reservations from your site's dashboard. Add your restaurant's tables, party sizes and turnover time, choose when customers can book a table and how long for. You can also set the total number of guests or parties that can reserve a table within a 15 minute time frame to avoid a rush.
When you add the app, you get 3 new pages on your site that you can customize in the editor:
- Reservations: Customers fill out the table reservation form.
- Reservation Details: Customers review their booking and enter their personal details to complete their table reservations.
- Reservation Confirmation: Customers see this confirmation page after they've successfully completed a reservation on your site. They can add the reservation to their calendar, cancel the reservation or go back to your site's home page.
Before you begin:
- You need a Premium plan to use Wix Table Reservations. Without a Premium plan, you'll only be able to add reservations manually. Customers won't be able to book a table on your site themselves.
- Make sure to add your business info, including your restaurant's name, location, contact info and business hours.
