About this template

Reservations that don't depend on the phone

Busy evenings are exactly when the phone goes unanswered. The restaurant reservation chatbot template takes bookings on WhatsApp and your website, collects the party size and preferred time, and notes birthdays, allergies and seating preferences.

Guests get a confirmation and a reminder, and your team sees every booking with the details already captured.
