Features · Reserve with Google
Reserve with Google for restaurants, with no commission
Put a Reserve a table button on your Google Search and Maps listing. Diners pick a date, time and party size without leaving Google, and the booking drops straight into your NomNom diary with a table allocated. NomNom is a Google booking partner, and there is no commission on a single cover.

How it works
Reserve with Google in three steps
Nothing to set up
NomNom switches Reserve with Google on for venues that qualify, using the opening times, tables and rules you already have.
Diners book on Google
Google shows the same times as your booking page, for about the next 30 days, and NomNom checks the time is still free just before confirming.
It lands in your diary
A Google booking arrives like any online booking, with a table allocated, your usual confirmation and your usual notification.
Be found, be booked
The button the big chains have
Search for a chain and its listing has a Reserve a table button. Search for an independent and there is often only a phone number. Reserve with Google closes that gap.
No commission
No commission and no per-cover fee on Google bookings, however many come through.
Your real availability
The times Google shows come from your meals, tables, turn lengths and closing dates, with your online rules applied.
Changes flow both ways
If a guest cancels in Google the table is freed, and if you cancel in NomNom, Google is told within about a minute.
Deposits and Google
Google cannot take a card. Turn on Accept Google bookings without a card and your own booking page keeps asking for one.
Google and depositsYour guests stay yours
Google receives your business details and free times, never your diary or your guests’ details.
Opt out any time
Email us and you are taken off within five working days, with no effect on your NomNom account.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get the Reserve button on Google?
There is nothing to set up. NomNom, a Google booking partner, switches it on for venues that qualify and checks every night.
Is there commission on Google bookings?
No. There is no commission and no per-cover fee on bookings that come through Google.
Can I still take deposits?
Google cannot take a card. Turn on Accept Google bookings without a card to appear on Google: Google bookings then come in without one, and your own booking page keeps asking.
Could a Google booking double-book a table?
Google shows your live availability, and NomNom checks the time is still free just before it confirms.
What is the difference between a booking link and the Reserve button?
A booking link on your Google Business Profile sends diners to your booking page. Reserve with Google takes the whole booking without leaving Google.
