Alex Reservations is an easy-to-use WordPress restaurant reservations platform plugin.
It will streamline your entire booking process and will save time for both the restaurant and the customer.
Benefits of using a reservations system
With this plugin, you can efficiently manage your daily reservations for your restaurant or multiple locations. The plugin provides a full-screen dashboard where you can list your reservations, manage them in a floor plan view, or view them in monthly and weekly views. It also offers a timeline view to easily track the bookings.
You can create and manage multiple schedules with availability defined by time slots for the front-end widget. The widget can be customized with colors and can show only one or several shifts time slots at once. You can also organize reservations for specific events such as mother’s day, wine tasting, deal of the day, live music, ladies’ night, and more.
Customize your emails sent to your customers based on the status of the reservation, whether it’s pending, or confirmed. You can also send reminders to your customers up to 48 hours before the reservation to reduce the number of no-shows.
The plugin allows you to give your users the option to select their preferences when reserving online, such as culinary choices, allergens, and seating preferences.
In addition, the plugin provides a simple CRM solution to tag your customers as you want and export them in CSV for sending email marketing campaigns.
With Alex Reservations, you can also create a SAAS solution for multiple restaurants by using a multisite environment. This feature allows you to set up and manage several restaurants’ reservation systems from a single installation. This means you can offer a white-label solution to your clients and provide them with their own custom domain, logos, and branding.
