1. Copy your restaurant’s booking link
In TableTango, open Settings → Booking page and select Copy booking link. For a website-specific link, open Share → Your website instead. Copy the full address, including anything after the question mark.
You can prepare the button before opening bookings. Check your hours and tables first, then go live when you’re ready. See the venue setup checklist.
2. Put the button where guests decide to book
Imagine The Copper Ladle, a neighbourhood bistro. Its homepage already has a “Read our menu” link. The owner puts “Book a table” beside it. On the menu page, there’s another button after the food and opening hours.
- Open the page in the WordPress block editor. If there’s already a booking button, select it and replace its link.
- For a new button, select +, search for Buttons and insert the block. Type Book a table on the button.
- Select the button, choose the Link icon, paste your restaurant’s booking address and press Enter. Keeping it in the same tab lets guests use Back to return to your menu.
- Preview at phone width. Make the text easy to read against the background and give the button room to tap. Save or publish when you’re ready to take bookings.
Have a web designer? Send them your booking link, the words “Book a table”, and the name of the page where you want the button. WordPress’s illustrated button instructions.
3. Check it as a guest
Open your published website in a private browser tab on your phone. Tap the button. Check the restaurant name and that you can choose a party size and date. There’s no need to submit a real booking. On a computer, press Tab until the button is visibly focused, then Enter to open it.
Seeing the practice restaurant or a sign-in screen? Replace the button’s address with the one from your own venue’s Booking page settings. The owner dashboard and the demo link are different from your public booking page.
Prefer a form on the page? Find your embed code under Share. A normal link is usually the easiest starting point on a phone, and it still works on WordPress plans that restrict embeds. WordPress embed guidance.
