Questions, answered.
What is a commission-free restaurant booking system?
It’s a reservation platform that takes bookings directly from your own channels - Google, your local pages, a store locator and a website widget - without charging a per-cover commission like third-party booking sites do. Social Places is built for multi-location and franchise brands, so you keep the full value of every booking.
How do customers book a table or appointment?
Directly from your Google Business Profile, your local landing pages, a booking store locator and a white-labelled widget embedded on your own site - all synced to each location’s calendar and confirmed instantly to the venue.
Do you charge commission on bookings?
No. Bookings made through Social Places carry no per-booking commission - ever. You keep the full value of every reservation instead of handing a cut to a third-party platform.
Can it handle bookings across multiple locations or franchises?
Yes - it’s built for franchises. Each location manages its own availability, tables and staff, and you can bulk-create seating areas across every outlet at once and roll out new venues in minutes.
Can the booking widget be branded to match our site?
Yes. The booking widget is white-labelled and styled in your brand, so it looks like a native part of your website rather than a third-party tool.
Do booking times follow each store’s opening hours?
Yes. Each store’s booking times are linked to its trading hours and update automatically - so customers only ever see slots when that location is actually open.
Can customers add extras when they book?
Yes. Custom post-booking pages let guests choose add-ons - a celebration cake, a set menu, a gift voucher - turning every reservation into an upsell opportunity at the moment of intent.
Can I take deposits, appointments and manage no-shows?
Yes. Bookings supports reservations and appointment-style scheduling, with VIP and no-show tags, customised confirmations and reminders to protect your covers.
How does this help me get found and book more customers?
Because the "Reserve" button sits on your Google profile, local pages and store locator, customers can book the moment they find you in search or on a map - turning local discovery straight into reservations, with up to +27% more store-visit conversions.
What booking reporting and customer data do I get?
Track covers, no-shows, conversions and revenue per location, and build a first-party customer database with every booking - feeding into the suite’s AI Reports for insight across your estate.
Bookings is better with the whole suite.
