Tip 1: Showcase your festive menu with your booking widget.
Christmas is all about the smell of roasting chestnuts infused with irresistible flavours of cinnamon, gingerbread, orange and rum. With these hallmark flavours encapsulated in your festive menu, no one will be able to resist the special feast. But to make sure that your menu is indeed the star of the season, your current and future visitors need to know about its existence first.
How can a booking widget help?
Integrating your Christmas menu into your online booking widget is one of the easiest ways to tempt visitors into joining in on holiday fiesta, as well increase sales and reservations all in all. This not only gives potential diners a glimpse of your offerings, but also drastically simplifies the booking process for them.
Try it on Tableo:
After curating a list of pre-set menus, use Tableo’s booking widget to highlight your holiday specials.
