🍽️ Frequently Asked Questions about reservatie.eu

Reservatie.eu is your simple and free online platform to easily reserve a table at a growing number of restaurants in the Benelux and beyond. We connect you directly to the restaurant's real-time availability. Please note: Each restaurant is independent and determines its own reservation conditions. We only support reservations made directly through our website or the restaurant's official booking widget (powered by reservatie.eu). This keeps things nice and clear.

It’s surprisingly simple: 1. Choose a restaurant on our website or click on the reservatie.eu widget on the restaurant's website. 2. Select the desired date, time, and number of people. 3. Fill in your details. (Or log in for super-fast booking). 4. Done! You will immediately receive a definitive confirmation via email or text message (unless the restaurant requires approval first, but we clearly indicate this). This way, you have immediate certainty.

Absolutely! As soon as you select a date and time, our system shows real-time availability. If the option for today is visible and bookable, you can reserve immediately. If there are no seats available online? The restaurant is likely fully booked, but for a final attempt, we recommend calling the restaurant directly. Sometimes they still have a last-minute miracle spot.

The terms are customized by the restaurant itself, and we respect that. These may include a mandatory deposit, a cancellation policy (e.g., costs for late cancellation or no-show), or other specific rules. Always check this crucial information when completing the booking, or review it again in your confirmation email. This helps you avoid any surprises.

The easiest way is through the link in your confirmation email or via the 'My Reservations' section in your reservatie.eu profile. Here, you manage the reservation with just a few clicks, 24/7. Important: We can only process changes or cancellations for reservations that were actually made through our platform. For reservations outside our system, you must contact the restaurant directly.

If you do not show up without canceling the reservation in time (no-show), the restaurant reserves the right to charge no-show fees in accordance with their policy (especially if you have provided a deposit or credit card guarantee). Furthermore, they may decide to limit or reject future reservations. To be fair: an empty table is a missed opportunity for a restaurant. Always report any change or cancellation as soon as possible!

Yes, and this is a handy feature! You can save your important allergies or dietary needs in your reservatie.eu profile. We then automatically and discreetly forward this information to the restaurant with every booking. You can also mention this information in the remarks field during the reservation process. This helps the kitchen provide you with the best and safest experience.

Time is precious, and a profile saves you time: * Faster booking: Your details are filled in automatically. * Management: You can easily manage and view all your current and past reservations. * Allergens: You permanently save your dietary needs (see Q7). * Gift Vouchers: You can easily manage and use purchased gift vouchers.

In 99% of cases: Yes! As soon as you receive the confirmation (via email or text message) from us, your table is definitively booked. Some restaurants (often for larger groups or during busy periods) opt for 'approval by the restaurant'. This is clearly stated during the reservation process. You will first receive a provisional request, followed by a final confirmation or rejection from the restaurant. This way, you always know where you stand.

The bill is usually paid at the restaurant, unless otherwise stated. You do not pay for your meal through reservatie.eu. Some restaurants require a deposit or a credit card guarantee to discourage no-shows. If this is the case, it will be communicated to you very clearly and processed through a secure connection in the very last step of the reservation process. Transparency first!

Absolutely! We offer our own reservatie.eu gift voucher, an ideal present for foodies. It is valid at all restaurants that accept this voucher. You can purchase these vouchers through our website. Whether a restaurant accepts them can be seen on the restaurant's profile page. Do you have a gift voucher? You can enter the code when reserving or redeem it in your profile.

Although the restaurant may accept them, they fall outside our reservatie.eu system. We can only provide support for reservations made directly through our website or our official widget. Only those bookings are visible and manageable in your profile and come with a guaranteed automatic confirmation. In short: use the website or widget for the best service!

We are sorry to hear that, but we are happy to guide you: * About the experience (food, service, atmosphere): For all comments about your meal or the service, it is best to contact the restaurant directly. They are the experts in their own business. * About the platform (bugs, ambiguities, profile): For feedback or complaints about the functioning of the reservatie.eu website or widget, please send us an email at info@reservatie.eu. We are ready to improve our platform.

Yes, absolutely. Every affiliated restaurant is checked before joining our platform. However, each restaurant manages its own profile, availability, and opening hours. They are responsible for the accuracy of their menus, photos, special offers, and the availability they enter into our system. We provide the technology, they provide the culinary experience!

This depends on the restaurant's capacity and policy. Our system allows you to make a reservation up to the maximum size the restaurant has set. For larger groups (often from 8 people), we always advise you to contact the restaurant directly first. They may offer special rooms, arrangements, or menus that the online system cannot display.

It's not the end of the world, but act fast! Restaurants usually hold a reserved table for you for 10 to 15 minutes. If delayed, call the restaurant! By calling, you reassure them and increase the chance that they will hold your table for longer. Without notice, they may give the table to another hungry guest (see also Q6: no-show).

Not quite yet! We are busy developing a fantastic, user-friendly app. Until then, you don't have to miss anything: our website is fully mobile-friendly and works perfectly on any smartphone or tablet. So you can reserve anywhere and anytime, without hassle.

You certainly can. We believe honest feedback is essential. After your visit, you can leave a review via reservatie.eu, which helps other guests with their choice. Moreover, it is a valuable source of feedback for the restaurant to improve their service. Share your experience, and help the culinary community!
