Wix is a top pick for restaurants that want a sleek, user-friendly website without hiring a developer. It’s easy-to-use, easy to customize, and offers beautiful templates that make your menu and brand shine. But when it comes to taking online reservations, Wix’s built-in booking tools often fall short, especially for full-service restaurants that require an all-in-one solution for table reservations and management.
If you’re serious about maximizing bookings, managing tables, and reducing no-shows, you’ll need something more powerful for your restaurant website.
In this guide, we’ll explore the best restaurant reservation systems that work seamlessly with Wix and help you turn website visits into confirmed guests.
Why Wix users need a better reservation system
Wix Bookings is designed for a broad range of services; think yoga studios, salons, or consultants. It isn’t tailored to the unique needs of restaurants, such as:
Table management: Managing table layouts and turn times
Preventing no-shows with deposits or card verification
Reservation management: Assigning reservations based on capacity
Collecting guest preferences or allergies
Integrating with Reserve with Google and other channels
Guests today expect more than a simple form. They want instant confirmation, easy rescheduling, and mobile-friendly experiences. That’s where dedicated restaurant reservation platforms come in.
What to look for in a Wix-compatible reservation system
Easy website integration – ideally via embeddable widget or iFrame
Mobile-first booking – works smoothly on all devices
Floor plan and table control – assign guests and optimize turns
No-show protection – card verification, deposits, or prepayments
Customisable guest rules – group size limits, booking windows, etc.
Reserve with Google integration – capture guests from search & maps
Multilingual support – for tourist-heavy areas
Affordable pricing – especially if you’re a small or independent venue
