Why it matters
Be bookable where guests are already looking
The whole booking, in your diary
Name, party, time and experience come through with the guest's contact details and requests, marked Google.
See what Google brings in
Reports shows how many bookings came through Reserve with Google next to your widget, walk-ins and the bookings your team adds.
Your experiences, bookable on Google
Brunch, afternoon tea or a chef's table go to Google as their own options, each with its own times, length and any deposit.
Deposits and card guarantees still apply
When a time needs protection, the guest finishes on your TableGo booking page and pays or saves a card before the booking confirms.
How a Google booking arrives
Booked on Google, or finished on your TableGo page
Times with no deposit or card
The guest picks a time on your Google listing and confirms there. The booking appears in TableGo straight away, and the guest joins your guest list.
- Google checks your live availability first
- Google sends the guest their confirmation
- Your team gets an in-app alert, and your venue an email
Times with a deposit or card guarantee
Google shows what's needed, then sends the guest to your TableGo booking page to pay the deposit or save a card, under the same rules as your widget.
- Deposits and card guarantees both work
- For card guarantees, Google shows one fee: the higher of your two
- Protected times are offered once Stripe can take payments
Kept in step
Your diary and Google, always in step
Live availability
Google checks TableGo before it offers a time, so guests only see tables you can seat.
Changes both ways
Cancellations and changes made on Google update your diary. Changes, cancellations and no-shows your team records go back to Google.
Your hours and closures
Special dates, blocked dates, blocked tables and cover limits carry through. Switch off online reservations and Google stops offering times.
Your booking notes
The notes guests see in your widget are sent to Google as your booking terms.
Seating areas too
Without experiences, a venue in Tables mode with Guest Seating set to Optional can offer its guest-selectable areas, such as Terrace or Main Dining, on Google as separate options.
How it works
Set up once, booked from Google every day

Link your business to Google

Guests book from your listing
Guests pick a time on Google Search or Maps. Times without a deposit or card guarantee book right there; times with a deposit or card guarantee open your TableGo booking page.
- 3
Run the night as usual
Google bookings appear on your timeline, reservations list and reports. Seat, edit or cancel them like any booking, and Google is kept up to date. A Google booking keeps the experience it was booked for.

Questions venues ask
What is Reserve with Google?
It lets guests book a table straight from your listing on Google Search and Maps. With TableGo, Google offers your live availability and every booking lands in your TableGo diary.
How do I get it?
It's part of Pro. Link your business to Google in Basic Information, keep online reservations on, and we switch it on. Google then decides when the booking button shows on your listing.
Do deposits and card guarantees work with Google bookings?
Yes. For a protected time, Google shows what's needed and sends the guest to your TableGo booking page to pay the deposit or save a card. For card guarantees, Google shows one fee: the higher of your late-cancellation and no-show fees.
Can guests book my afternoon tea or chef's table on Google?
Yes. Each experience shown in your widget goes to Google as its own option, with its name, description, times, length and any deposit. Google decides how the options are laid out.
What if a guest cancels or changes their booking on Google?
Your diary updates. It works the other way too: when your team changes, cancels or marks a Google booking as a no-show, TableGo tells Google.
Who sends the confirmation?
For bookings made on Google, Google sends the guest's confirmation. You see the booking in TableGo straight away, with an in-app alert and an email to your venue.
Can I stop taking Google bookings?
Yes. Switch off Accept Online Reservations to pause all online bookings, Google included. Owners and Managers can also remove the venue from Reserve with Google altogether.
