Booking setup

Connect your booking platform and shape your public booking page.

A screen recording for this guide is coming soon.

Tabern doesn't replace your booking system; it connects to it. Your public booking page sends guests to the platform you already use: OpenTable, Resy, Tock, SevenRooms, Toast, Square Appointments, or any custom booking URL. OpenTable and Resy links can embed their widget directly so guests never leave your site.

Connect a platform

  1. Open the Integrations page from the dashboard sidebar.

  2. Find the booking platform section and pick your provider.

  3. Paste your booking link — Tabern auto-detects the platform from the URL.

  4. Save, then publish to put the booking page live.

What guests see, by provider:

  • OpenTable / Resy — an embedded booking widget when the link supports it, so guests book without leaving your site.
  • Tock, SevenRooms, Toast, Square Appointments — guests land on your provider's booking page via a button.
  • Custom URL — any other booking link works as a plain button.

If a link can't be embedded as a widget, the booking page shows it as a button instead. Guests still get where they're going. Multi-location venues can scope a booking link per location.

Booking page intro

In the website editor's Reservations section, write a short intro for the booking page: anything guests should know before booking, like party-size limits or call-ahead policy. See Pages & sections.

The "needs update" state

If a connected link stops being embeddable — for example, the platform changed its URL format — the booking page flags it as needing an update. Paste a fresh link in Integrations and publish to clear the flag.

Tips

  • Booking changes are drafts. Publish to push them live.
  • Test the booking page yourself after connecting. Click through to your platform once before guests do.
