Overview of the plugin

Focus on your business and don’t waste time reading emails to confirm reservations manually. ReDi Restaurant Reservation is a fully automated reservation system. Everything is done without human involvement.

You may easily handle reservations for your restaurant using the ReDi Restaurant Reservation plugin. This plugin facilitates online customer reservations, your clients can view available space at a predetermined time and make reservations with instant confirmation.
Simply, configure the maximum number of reservations per person, the hours of operation, and the restaurant information. That’s it!

So. looking for the fastest and most simple restaurant reservation WordPress plugin? You are in the right place!

Get the plugin downloaded first. The process is quite simple.

• Go to your WordPress website from the backend.
• Click on Plugins > Add New.
• On the search line, type “ReDi Restaurant Reservation.”
• Click on Install > Activate.

Start your WordPress restaurant reservation page, with 3 steps:

• Register & Generate/Create the API key.
• Check the new Reservation page (it automatically creates a reservation page after registration).
• Make all the necessary configurations and customizations.

It is not unexpected that there is an increase in demand for online restaurant reservations because most of us spend more than 24 hours per week using our mobile devices. So a credible restaurant reservation system is a must for a successful business, don’t you agree?

The benefits of using a restaurant reservation system, such as ReDi, are numerous:

• Increase Conversion Rates: Extensive and catchy CTA’s (calls to action) help to increase conversions and offer visitors immediate restaurant reservations.
• Save Time: As far as ReDi is fully automated it will save a lot of time from your workers, which can be used on other things.
• Additional Analytics: Track the website visitors and reservation data to make more result-based decisions for your business.
• Satisfied Clients: In the age of technology clients prefer to have everything easy and quick at hand. That’s why online restaurant reservations will greatly boost customer satisfaction.
• Capture Abandoning Customers: Without an instant reservation confirmation, a visitor will most probably go to a few more restaurants to make a reservation. Thus, the restaurant may lose that client.

REDI RESTAURANT RESERVATION PLUGIN FEATURES, ADD-ONS, AND ADVANTAGES

KEY FEATURES

The ReDi Restaurant Reservation plugin works well for all types of businesses, including little cafés, bars, and large restaurants. The plugin includes several helpful functions and highlights.

RESTAURANT CAPACITY CONTROL

The ability to control and set a maximum number of seats based on the weekday.

BLOCKED TIME

Establish a specified timeframe from which bookings can no longer be accepted.

EMAIL CONFIRMATION

• Is the restaurant open on that day/hour?

• Can the kitchen serve guests without delays?
• Are there free seats available?

Thus, it provides the fastest availability check and confirmation.

REQUIRES PAID SUBSCRIPTION TO WORK

JamesBlachford1 October 19, 2021 1 reply

Very misleading, a booking system but only if you subscribe. This should be on a paid market place as there is actually no free version to use.

Plugins ok

El plugins de pago va muy bien, tuve un problema con la suscripción automatica que genera al comprar el servicio, pero el soporte técnico del plugins. Logro resolver mi problema, me han explicado la situación y llegamos a un buen acuerdo. Gracias…
