Integration of resmio on Instagram

Use Instagram’s “Story” feature to lead guests directly to your resmio reservation form and digital menu. The feature is available to all accounts since October 2021.

1. The Story feature is a simple and effective way to increase your online reservations and orders. You need the Instagram app (not available on PC / laptop) and an authorised business account.

We guide you step by step through the integration:

• Launch 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-hand corner
• Select the “Story” post format

2. Here comes the creative part: First decide on a design of your choice for your story, e.g. a photo of the current menu or the restaurant environment.

• Tap open on the “Sticker” icon.
• Type “Link” in the search field and / or select it from the list of available stickers.

3. Add the link to your online reservation widget or digital menu. You can use the preview to check whether the link works properly.

A sample of the integration link (reservations):

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

A sample of the 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).

If you wish, you can add a descriptive label for the link, e.g. “Online reservation” or “Reserve now”.

Once everything fits, tap on “Done”.

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

Now your guests can make reservations directly via the link in your story or order from your digital menu.

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:

• 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”.

• 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 on the checkmark symbol in the top right-hand corner, and your link will now appear in your restaurant profile on Instagram.
