The General tab only appears for restaurants with table reservations enabled.
Main link
The Main link is the address of your booking portal:Links for social networks
Under Links for social networks, six versions of your main link are ready to copy, one per network, identified by their icon. Each one adds a short label to the address:
The portal is exactly the same for the guest. The difference is on your side: a reservation made through one of these links is saved with that network as its source. You see it on the reservation (with the network’s icon) and in the Customers > By source report. A guest who simply types your portal’s address is recorded as Website.
Paste each link where it belongs: the Instagram one in your bio, the Facebook one on your page’s button, the WhatsApp one in your business profile or quick replies, the TripAdvisor one as your website link on your listing.
These short links only fill the reservation’s source. They are not the campaign links described in Source tracking:
- the label is only read during that visit. It is not remembered if the guest leaves and comes back to book later, whereas a tagged link (
?utm_source=…) is remembered for 30 days; - they carry no medium or campaign name.
Put the portal on your website
Two integrations are available. Pick one.Widget
The Widget code embeds your portal in a page of your site, typically a “Book a table” page. It looks like this:- The frame takes the full height of the screen (
height:100vh). You can change that value if it doesn’t fit your layout. - Because the portal is inside your site, the Website link is hidden from the portal header, and the Privatization and Activities links open in a new tab so the guest isn’t trapped inside the frame. See Header links.
Source tracking for the widget
An embedded frame cannot see your page’s address. So if a visitor lands onyoursite.com/?utm_source=instagram and then books in the widget, that source is lost, unless you also add the Source tracking for the widget script:
Floating widget
The Floating widget adds a booking button in a bottom corner of your site. When clicked, a panel opens with your booking page. Visitors book without leaving the page they are on. Before copying the code, choose:
The code updates as you change them. For example:
- The button uses your portal’s primary color (from Design), with black or white text depending on what reads best.
- On a computer the panel opens in the corner; on a phone it takes the full screen. It closes with the cross, by clicking outside it, or with the Escape key.
- The panel never closes by itself after a booking, so the guest always sees their confirmation. The confirmation page shows a Close button that closes the panel and brings them back to your site. This button only appears in the floating widget, not in the embedded Widget.
- The booking page only loads on the first click, so the button doesn’t slow down your site.
- A Reservations powered by EatNow line sits at the bottom of the panel.
- Tagged links pointing to your site (
?utm_source=…) are remembered for 30 days and passed on to the booking automatically.
QR Code
Download QR Code saves a PNG image named after your restaurant (for exampleLe Bistrot-qr-code.png). It opens your Main link, with no source label.
Print it on table tents, flyers, the bill or your window.
