You can add your NomNom booking link to your Google Business Profile, so people who find you on Google Search or Maps can tap straight through and book. It’s free, it takes about five minutes, and every booking comes into NomNom just like any other online booking.
A booking link isn’t the Reserve button. A link you add yourself shows on your listing as a booking link. The bigger Reserve a table button, where guests book without leaving Google, comes from Reserve with Google. NomNom is a Google booking partner and switches it on for venues that qualify: see Getting the Reserve button on Google (Reserve with Google). You don’t need to wait for it. Add your link today: it won’t stop you getting the button.
Copy your booking link
1. Open Online Booking & Discover. In NomNom Web, open Settings from the account menu (top right) or the button at the bottom of the left-hand bar, then choose Online Booking & Discover. Settings is for admins only.
2. Click Copy booking link. It’s below your terms and privacy policy, with your link written underneath. You’ll see Booking link copied. Your link is https://book.nomnom-app.net/ followed by your venue’s booking code.
In NomNom Web: Settings → Online Booking & Discover → Copy booking link. In the phone app: Settings → Online Booking & Discover → Copy booking link.

Where your link takes guests
If your venue is listed on NomNom Discover (the List on NomNom Discover switch, further down the same screen), your booking link may open your Discover page rather than a plain booking page. That’s expected: guests book there in just the same way, so paste the link exactly as it is. Either way, the booking lands in NomNom.
Add it to Google
1. Open your Business Profile. Go to business.google.com and sign in with the Google account that manages your listing, or search for your restaurant on Google while signed in to it.
2. Find Bookings. On some accounts it’s under Edit profile.
3. Add your link. In the section headed Links to your online booking tools, choose Add a link and paste your booking link. Don’t use the Featured book button option: that’s for Google’s booking partners and won’t take your link.
4. Save.
Google changes these screens from time to time, so the labels on your account may differ slightly.
What happens next
Your link usually appears on your listing within a day, often within a few hours. From then on:
- Guests tap it from Google Search and Maps to book.
- Every booking comes into NomNom as normal: deposits, card holds, confirmation emails and texts all work just as they do for any online booking.
- There’s no extra cost.
Good to know
- Can’t see Bookings? Check your business is set up on Google as a Restaurant, or a similar food-and-drink category. The option only shows for those.
- More than one venue? Each has its own link. Switch to each venue in NomNom, copy its link and add it to that venue’s own Google profile.
- Changed your mind? Edit or remove the link from the same Bookings screen on Google.
- Sharing it elsewhere? See Turning on online booking and sharing your link.
- Need a hand? Email support@nomnom-app.net and we’ll walk you through it.
