From searching for restaurants online and reserving a table to placing orders and making payments – convenience is key.
People want to engage with restaurants when and how they want – and as a restaurateur, you need to make it easy for them to do so.
One such convenient feature is an online booking widget. Add it to your website and allow people to book directly. This results in greater convenience for customers and more bookings for restaurants, making it a win-win situation for both.
When you sign up for Quandoo for Restaurants, you can easily add a responsive booking widget to your website.
