Reservations without the phone tag
The guest should always know what they are choosing and whether the restaurant can actually accommodate it.

The reservation interface should therefore be fast, readable and comfortable enough to complete without switching devices or making a call.
The simpler the flow, the easier it is to turn restaurant interest into a real visit.

Eligible businesses can add reservation links to Google Business Profile so customers can move from Search or Maps toward booking.
