Reservations

Phone-based reservations tie up your staff and create friction for customers who would rather book a table with a few taps on their phone. The Reservations extension adds an online booking widget directly to your DineEngine site, letting guests select a date, time, and party size without calling in. You control the capacity, time intervals, and lead times so that the system only offers slots your restaurant can actually accommodate.

Configuration is flexible enough to match your operations. Set maximum covers per time slot, define booking intervals (every 15, 30, or 60 minutes), and establish minimum lead times so you are never caught off guard by a last-minute large party. When a reservation is confirmed, both the guest and your team receive a notification. The admin dashboard gives your host stand a clear view of upcoming reservations, making it easy to plan seating, staffing, and prep.

Unlike third-party reservation platforms that charge per cover and redirect traffic away from your brand, DineEngine Reservations lives on your own website. Guests stay in your ecosystem, and you pay a flat monthly fee regardless of how many reservations you take. It is a straightforward, cost-effective solution for restaurants that want to offer online booking without giving up control or margin.
