Booking page
A booking page is a web page where guests reserve a table directly with a venue, carrying its branding, photos and booking options. A booking widget is a smaller form embedded in a website, often styled by the booking platform. Both take direct bookings; they differ in how much looks like the venue.
How stampede does it.
Guests book on a fully branded page with the venue’s brand, photography and booking types, not a generic widget bolted onto someone else’s platform, and it reads properly on a phone. Deposits and pre-orders are collected online. Bookings come from the venue’s own site and Google, direct and with no per-cover fees.
