All you need to do is focus on what matters: welcoming your guests.

We've worked hand in hand with Google so you can enjoy this new feature, a key improvement for restaurants: if you work with prepayment or cancellation policies, your customers can now complete their booking directly from Google. No emails, no redirects, no extra steps.

Before: one booking, too many steps

Until now, the process looked like this:

  1. The customer found your restaurant on Google and made a booking.
  2. They received an email with a link to pay or enter their card details.
  3. Only if they opened it and completed the process was the booking confirmed.

The result? Many didn't finish, and you were losing bookings along the way.

Now: booking confirmed instantly

New integrated payment feature on Google to confirm restaurant bookings instantly

With this new feature:

  • The customer enters their card details or pays directly on Google.
  • All from the same booking screen.
  • Smoother, faster, with no friction.

And you receive the confirmed booking directly, with no further steps.

What do you gain from this improvement?

✔ More completed bookings
✔ Fewer drop-offs
✔ Reduction in No-Shows
✔ A better experience for your customers

More bookings, less effort

At Cover, we work to ensure that every touchpoint with your customer is a genuine conversion opportunity.

This new feature makes it clear: if you're on Google, you need to be ready to confirm bookings in a single click.

Activate it with CoverManager and start filling your dining room directly from Google Maps.
