Sunny weather ahead? Show guests your terrace is open
As soon as the sun comes out, guests are actively looking for a spot on a terrace. Yet many visitors are often unsure whether they can reserve a terrace table in advance. The result? Phone calls, confusion, or guests dropping off and looking elsewhere. With a smart reservation widget on your website, you can immediately show that terrace reservations are available. This improves the guest experience and increases your number of online bookings.
Why make terrace reservations visible?
For many guests, a terrace is not a preference but a requirement. Especially during the summer months, this can be a decisive factor when choosing a restaurant. When visitors cannot immediately see whether the terrace is bookable, uncertainty arises: “Is the terrace even open?” and “Can I book a table, and if so, how?”
By adding a widget to your website, you clearly show that terrace reservations are available and when tables can still be booked. This removes doubt and makes the booking process easier.
More online bookings, fewer phone calls
Not only does this simplify reservations, it also reduces phone calls with questions. These calls take up valuable time, while the answer can often be provided online instantly. By adding a terrace widget:
- Online bookings increase
- Phone workload decreases
- Guests get faster answers
- The reservation flow becomes more efficient
Flexible setup for every restaurant
Every restaurant operates differently. That’s why it’s important to configure terrace reservations based on your own workflow. For example, terrace opening hours may differ from indoor service, or you may want to keep part of the terrace reserved for walk-ins while making the rest available for bookings.
Improve guest experience and planning
A great guest experience starts before arrival. When guests can immediately see that terrace reservations are available, it creates clarity, trust, and a smooth booking journey. It also ensures you can plan staffing more effectively, knowing exactly how many guests are expected outside.
