About this plugin
Restaurant reservations. Your brand, not ours.
Alex Reservations is a restaurant reservation system that runs on your own WordPress website. Guests book on your site, under your name, and every reservation and guest record is stored in your own database. No booking marketplace in between, no per-cover fees, no third-party branding in front of your guests.
It works for one restaurant or hundreds: independent restaurants, restaurant groups and agencies that want to run a reservation platform for their clients under their own brand.
Why restaurants choose Alex Reservations
- 0% commission. A flat price per restaurant, however many tables you fill.
- Your guests, your data. Bookings and customer data live in your WordPress database. Export them any time.
- Your brand everywhere. Booking widget, confirmation emails, SMS and WhatsApp messages carry your restaurant’s name and look.
- Fewer no-shows. Automatic reminders, guest re-confirmation, deposits and card guarantees for big parties.
- Live in minutes. A setup wizard creates your first restaurant in under 5 minutes; the widget goes on any page with a shortcode.
For restaurant groups
Manage every location from one central dashboard while each restaurant keeps its own settings, tables, shifts and team. User roles control who sees what. One installation, one login page, your group’s brand across all locations (PLUS).
For agencies: your own white-label reservation platform
Turn a single WordPress installation on your own server into a reservation SaaS for your restaurant clients (PLUS):
- Complete white label: your logo, colours, custom CSS, your domain, your name on every email and notification.
- Multi-tenant: hundreds of restaurants on one installation, each one isolated and seeing only its own bookings, tables and guests.
- Custom login page so your clients never see the WordPress admin.
- You set your own price to your clients and keep the margin.
