Wix Restaurants: Adding and Setting Up Wix Table Reservations

Add the Wix Table Reservations app to your Wix Restaurant site for online table bookings. Set up your tables, manage party sizes, and customize booking times to fit your needs. Keep things organized by capping the number of bookings every 15 minutes - It’s an easy way to keep everything running smoothly.

The app creates 3 customizable pages in your editor:

• Reservations: Customers fill out the reservation form.

• Reservation Details: Customers review and finalize their booking.

• Reservation Confirmation: Customers see confirmation and can add the reservation to their calendar, cancel, or return to the homepage.

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 and contact info.
