1. Website<\/h6>\n
Diners want to learn as much as they can about a restaurant before they visit. Adding a link to your website is a quick way for them to get all the information they need. (Just remember to have your website updated!)<\/p>\n
2. Reservations<\/h6>\n
Help your guests skip the hassle of searching for phone numbers and email addresses, simply add your Dineplan<\/a> link and send them straight to your booking calendar. <\/p>\n
3. Menu<\/h6>\n
Most diners will want to browse your menu before booking a table, so make it easy for them to see what food and drinks you offer.<\/p>\n
4. Newsletter subscription<\/h6>\n
Link to your newsletter sign up form and capture guest details to stay in touch with email marketing<\/a>. Now you can grow your mailing list and send newsletters to promote your upcoming specials and events. <\/p>\n
Tip: Try adding an incentive to get more diners to sign up!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
5. Specials and events<\/h6>\n
Having a special, event or limited-time menu can sometimes clutter your feed. Add the link to your bio to generate excitement and once it\u2019s done, simply hide or remove it from your links. <\/p>\n

Instagram vs. link-in-bio platforms <\/h4>\n
