One Friday at La Tavola

Full by 7:30. Five stars by Saturday.

Nobody in a restaurant has time to sit at a computer on a Friday. Here's how LocalGenius fits around service instead.

Gina, owner

La Tavola, an Italian place in Leichhardt. 60 seats, a long table out the back, a busy Friday.

La Tavola, Gina and Sophie are made up
3:02pmFriday

A group of 10 asks on Instagram. Genius has the reply ready.

Sophie wants a table for her mum's 60th, tonight. Her message lands in Gina's inbox with everything else. Genius drafts a warm reply with the booking link and the group menu from the Functions page. Gina reads it between deliveries and taps Send.

“Add the snapper special tonight.”

The fish order came in better than expected. Gina says it to her phone at the pass. Genius puts it on the specials board on the home page and the Menu page, writes a Google post and an Instagram and Facebook post, and takes it all down after close.

  • Say or type a change, Genius does the rest

A couple on Norton Street searches “italian restaurant leichhardt”. La Tavola's page comes up with the Menu, Functions and Book a table links, and tonight's snapper sits on Google beside the reviews. Order online goes to your Uber Eats, DoorDash or Menulog page.

Messaged on Instagram at 3pm for 10 people the same night and Gina had us booked in minutes. The long table out the back was perfect for Mum's 60th. Get the snapper if it's on!

Questions

Things restaurant owners ask us.

Something else? Email support@localgenius.com.au and a real person will get back to you.

Can people book a table on my website?

Yes. Your Book a table button opens the booking system you already use, like OpenTable, Now Book It or SevenRooms. Bookings stay in that system. LocalGenius doesn't take bookings itself.

What about takeaway and delivery?

Add your Uber Eats, DoorDash or Menulog links and they show as Order online buttons on your site. Orders and payments stay with those apps.

How do I change the menu or tonight's specials?

Type it to Genius in your dashboard, like “take the gnocchi off tonight”. With the LocalGenius app (coming soon) you can say it out loud, and Genius updates your website, Google and socials.

Do posts go out without me seeing them?

Never. Genius writes them for your restaurant and the time of year, then they wait for your OK before going to Facebook, Instagram and your Google Business Profile.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from Billing. You can move up or down a plan whenever you like.

Next Friday's table of ten is out there. Make sure they find you.

Get your restaurant website up, then let LocalGenius help with the messages, specials, reviews and posts around every service.
