Technically speaking, “Widgets” are digital apps which enable a user to perform a function or access a service online. At TheFork, when we talk about widgets we usually mean booking widgets, provided for free to our restaurant partners in order to boost their restaurant bookings online. Essentially, they resemble a calendar which enables the users to check your restaurant availability and make a booking when visiting either your restaurant website, Facebook page, or Instagram page. This is a quick and easy way for users to book a table at your restaurant while they are surfing the web and for you a guarantee to be bookable 24/7.

How does a widget work?

See your diners process when using Booking Widgets for your restaurant 

Diner clicks on your booking widget

Diners will be asked regular questions when it comes to making a restaurant reservation: day of the booking, hour, number of guests, personal details (name, phone number, email address)

After inputting booking information, diners will then receives a booking confirmation by email or sms.
