      resmio Link in Instagram Stories

      Use Instagram’s “Story” feature to lead guests directly to your resmio reservation form and digital menu.

      info

      Benefits: Unlike the “Reserve” button on Instagram, for which the guest first has to take a step back to access your company profile, the story and the reservation link are immediately published in the feed of your guests.

      If you now link the direct reservation option with an offer in the story (for example, special daily special, menu of the week, pizza at 1/2 price…), you also increase the odds that guests will make an online reservation or place an order in your restaurant.

      1. Instagram’s Stories feature is an effective way to increase your online reservations and orders. To use it, you need the Instagram app (not available on PC/laptop) and an authorized business account.

      We’ll guide you through the integration step by step:

      • Open the Instagram app on your smartphone (iOS / Android) and switch from your private profile to your restaurant account if necessary.
      • Tap the “+” icon in the top right corner.
      • Select the “Story” post format.

      2. Now comes the creative part: First, decide on a motif for your story, e.g., a photo of the current menu or the restaurant’s ambiance.

      • Tap on the “Sticker” icon at the top.
      • Enter “Link” in the search field and/or select it directly from the overview of available stickers.
      info

      Note: Please note that link stickers can only be embedded in static images/photos. You cannot place links in videos.

      3. Provide the link to your online reservation widget or digital menu. You can use the preview to check that the link is working properly.

      Prime example of the integration link (reservations):

      https://app.resmio.com/the-fish/widget

      Example of the integration link (digital menu):

      https://app.resmio.com/the-fish/menu-widget

      (The restaurant ID “the-fish” marked in bold here corresponds to your own restaurant ID in your resmio account).

      You can optionally add a meaningful label for the link, such as “Online reservation” or “Reserve now.”

      If everything looks good, tap “Done.”

      4. Place the sticker anywhere in your story and publish it.

      Your guests can now make reservations directly at your restaurant or order from your digital menu via the link in your story.

      info

      Tip: Your story will remain visible to guests for up to 24 hours. If you want to actively promote online reservations, you should post several times a week.

      Integrate resmio on Instagram – reservation link in the profile / bio

      Instagram currently allows business profiles to publish up to five (5) external links. These links are available to guests via the profile or “bio”. You can set a direct link here to your online reservation widget from resmio or a subpage on your website.

      1. You need the Instagram app installed on your smartphone (not available on PC / laptop) and an authorized business account.

      We will guide you step by step through the integration process:

      • Open the Instagram app on your smartphone (iOS / Android) and switch from your private profile to your restaurant account if necessary
      • Tap on the “Edit profile” button.
      • Tap on the “Links” option.

      2. Now you can add up to five outbound links to your restaurant profile on Instagram.

        • Tap on “Add external link” at the top
        • Add the direct reservation link from your resmio account. You can find the link in your account under Settings” > “Integrations” > “Social platforms”.

      Sample integration link (reservations):

      https://app.resmio.com/the-fish/widget

      Sample integration link (digital menu):

      https://app.resmio.com/the-fish/menu-widget

      (the restaurant ID “the-fish” marked in bold here matches your own restaurant ID in your resmio account).

      • Finally, assign a meaningful link title, ideally linked to a call to action (e.g. “Book a table online now”).

      3. Save the changes by tapping the check mark icon in the upper right corner.

      Your link will now appear in your restaurant profile on Instagram.

      info

      Tip: Make sure that the embedded link works by opening the link from your Instagram profile.
