Restaurant reservations & SMS deposits focus

For restaurants, each reserved table is a promise of revenue that can vanish with a no‑show. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link for group bookings, special menus or busy dates: guests pay from their phone, the table is secured and you can manage stock and staff more confidently. For tasting menus and premium experiences, you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Guests spread the cost, while you are paid out by Stripe immediately to your connected Stripe account, visible in PayLinker. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or computer is enough to create links for deposits, balances and extras (wine pairings, special dishes). Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to a booking, which simplifies accounting and communication. Your own booking conditions remain the base: PayLinker handles notifications, payment collection and history, so you know exactly how many seats are truly confirmed.
