1. Booking Policy
How to enable it: Select the "Show Booking Policy" option and add your booking policy in the settings.
Adding a booking policy at the bottom of emails helps guests understand key rules before their visit, reducing potential conflicts. This section is especially useful if your restaurant has:
✔ Age restrictions (e.g., "No children under 10 years old")
✔ Pet policies (e.g., "Pets are not allowed indoors")
✔ Dress code requirements (e.g., "Smart casual attire required")
✔ Reservation conditions (e.g., "Late arrivals over 15 minutes may forfeit their table")
2. Modify & Cancel Button
- Allows guests to adjust or cancel their reservation directly from the email.
- Set a time limit before the reservation when changes are allowed (e.g., "Edits allowed up to 2 hours before arrival").
- If the time limit is exceeded, guests will be prompted to call the restaurant instead
- If you do not want to allow reservation changes, set a very long time limit in the plugin settings, e.g., 12,000 minutes.
3. Additional Information Section
✔ Use this space to communicate important details such as:
- Upcoming events
- Parking instructions
- Directions to the restaurant
- Special menu announcements
✔ This section appears below the restaurant contact details in the email.
📌 Tip: This is an excellent way to promote special events and offers while keeping guests well-informed.
4. Links Section
✔ Add quick-access links to your:
- Menu
- Events
- Website
- Other useful pages
✔ Guests can click these links directly from the email for more information.
📌 Advice: Include an "Additional Information" section to give context to the links.
