Wix Restaurants: Adding and Setting Up Wix Table Reservations

Let guests book tables at your restaurant, through your site, using the Wix Table Reservations app.

Set up tables according to your restaurant's layout, manage the party sizes you accept, and customize booking times to fit your needs. For example, you can keep things organized by limiting the number of bookings every 15 minutes - It’s an easy way to ensure everything is running smoothly.

Before you begin:

• You need to upgrade your site to use Wix Table Reservations. Without a plan, customers won't be able to book a table on your site themselves – you'll only be able to add reservations manually.

• Make sure to add your business info, including your restaurant's name, location and contact info.

Step 1 | Add the Wix Table Reservations app to your site

Head over to the app market to add the Wix Table Reservations app to your site. This adds the Table Reservations tab to your site's dashboard, in addition to 3 customizable pages in your editor:

• Reservations: The page customers see when they fill out the reservation form.

• Reservation Details: The page where customers review and finalize their booking.

• Reservation Confirmation: The page where customers see the confirmation of their reservation. At this point they can add the reservation to their calendar, cancel it or return to the homepage.
