That’s because table booking software has so many benefits for any restaurant to avail. It will be a pity if you’re still not using it to streamline your operations. 

It is also a fact that even though a lot of restaurants have now started using it, there is still so much to learn. But we are right by your side along the journey.

Refer below to know some of the table booking app know-hows for 2021.

• A recent model= Better functionality

Many great updates and features were added to reservation systems owing to the sudden hit of the pandemic in 2020. So, if you are still using a quite old one, you should consider upgrading to a more recent model. Otherwise, having or not having it at your restaurant would almost mean the same. The functionality will be lacking far behind and your competitors would be at an advantage.

• Add a clear calendar

It will give an insight into the entire schedule for the month to your customer. Your restaurant table booking app must have a simple calendar that lets people know when tables are available. This way you will be spared from answering lots of future reservation-related questions that might trouble you and the staff. It will also add more transparency to your customers and they can plan their next visit well in advance.

• Social media integration is important

Is your table booking app connected to your social media accounts? You must consider doing that as it lets the customers view what they can expect from your venue. It also gives you a chance to boast of the amazing experience that you have provided to your previous customers. You can also get more followers on social media and increase your brand visibility and reach.

• Include the option for pre-ordering

Some of the customers want to plan their meals in advance. It may be due to lack of time or as a normal surprise for the ones dining with them. Whatever the reason may be, you should ensure an efficient experience for them. This can be done by including the option for pre-order in your reservation app. The customers can order food using their smartphones and set the time when they want it to be served.

• More cost does not mean more quality

It is a very important point to keep in mind when it comes to restaurant table booking app. Spending more money will not guarantee the efficiency that you’re looking for at your restaurant. Do not over exceed your budget by falling for charms. There are lots of pocket-friendly options available in the market which are equally good as high costing software, if not better.

With these simple points in mind, you are ready to take over the restaurant industry in 2021 with the smoothest reservation services.
