Booking Channels & Online Forms

Online Reservations from Your Website Form

Marketplaces like OpenTable and TheFork charge per cover — sometimes per seated guest, sometimes per click. They also own the guest relationship: the data, the review trail, the repeat visits. Your best guest becomes their customer.

A reservation form on your own domain flips that. The guest books at yourrestaurant.com, your brand sits at the top of the form, the confirmation email comes from your address, and the guest profile lives in your database — not someone else's.

This isn't just a principle. It's margin. A venue doing 400 covers a week through a marketplace at 2€ per cover burns 800€/week in commissions. A direct booking through your own form costs nothing extra. The saved margin goes straight to your P&L.

And because guests who book on your site are already on your site, they see your menu, your photos, your offers — not competitors listed next to you on a marketplace grid.
