Rely on key features to boost your business and reassure your clients

Within the context of Covid 19 crisis, TheFork teams are more than ever committed to support restaurants and help them boost their business. Hence, key features on TheFork Manager PRO and PRO+ are now available to help restaurants adapt to the new health & safety standards while reassuring users and allowing them to still enjoy pleasant moments at the restaurant.

  1. Reduce no-shows and optimize your restaurant management

Thanks to TheFork Manager PRO software, handling stocks, personalizing floorplans and reducing no-shows have never been so easy. Discover how you can make the most of its features for your restaurant.

Take full control over your inventory and get a FLOOR PLAN tailored to safety measures.

Digital Floor plan enables you to optimize your stocks with a customized floor plan to better control your bookings and maximize your revenue by services. Within covid context, we felt it was essential for our restaurant partners to be able to define cover volume per time slot and per reservation source (walk in dinners, online).The digital floor plan feature also enables you to virtually test the best table disposition, set a number of guests per table and ensure to be compliant with safety distances to respect.                                                                                   

Main benefit of Floor plan: You can optimize both your availabilities and restaurant space.

Bet on booking RECONFIRMATION feature to save time and reduce no-shows

We now offer our restaurant partners the opportunity to send automated reconfirmation requests to their customers via email, sms or both. This feature can be activated or deactivated at any time by TFM Pro/PRO+ users in the advanced setting of the system.In addition, the restaurant can then select the timeframe to send those reconfimations (ex: 2 hours before service) and even customize the reconfirmation message.

Main benefit of reconfirmation: restaurants will receive notifications whenever a customer confirms or cancel their reservation and it will help them fight against No-Shows.


Reduce the no-show risk using Credit Card imprint*

Now you can limit the risk of no-show and cancelation by setting up a credit card imprint feature on TheFork Manager! This tool allows you to request a credit card guarantee from your customers when they book on your website, through TheFork or even by phone. In the event that the client does not comply with the cancellation policy or makes a No-Show, you can charge the amount established by you. The bank footprint can be configured according to your needs.

Main benefit of Credit Card imprint: reduce the risk of no-show and cancellation by better controlling your bookings, very useful for group reservations or seasonal menus (ex: Christmas)

*Credit card imprint only available for PRO and PRO+ packages, to activate this feature please reach out to your account manager

 

  1. Make your clients & staff feel safe and comfortable

It’s a great way to enhance their experience and make them feel comfortable even before they arrive at your restaurant.
