Restaurant

Your branding, contact details and legal identity.

Branding

Stored on this device in the preview build — your developer connects real uploads later.

Drives buttons and accents in guest-facing pages and emails.

Restaurant details

The trading name and contact details guests see.

Click the map to drop the pin — it powers “how to find us” links.

Google does not provide email addresses — this one has to be typed in by hand.

Company & legal details

Used on receipts, gift vouchers, booking terms and the privacy notice.

These details appear in guest emails, gift vouchers, the booking widget, the booking terms and the privacy notice — and they are what the AI phone agent uses to answer questions like “what's your address?”.

Social profiles

Paste the full profile URLs. These become the icons in guest emails.

Google

Connects the restaurant to Google services — maps, reviews and reserve-with-Google.

Google listing

Find your restaurant on Google once — AVA keeps the link for maps, reviews and reserve-with-Google.

Advanced: enter Place ID manually

Website widget

The booking widget on your own website — how to install it and which languages it offers.

Install on your website

In this preview build the check marks it as found. The real check waits for a page load from your own domain.

Your snippet

It already knows which restaurant it belongs to. There is nothing to fill in or change — copy it exactly as it is.

It sits at the very bottom of your site and stays invisible until a guest clicks Book. Removing it changes nothing else.

Where do I paste this?

Choose what your website is built with.

    Nothing changes for your guests until you publish the site.

    Email these instructions

    Most owners have someone who looks after the website. This sends them the snippet and the steps for the platform above.

    Languages the widget offers

    Guests see a language switcher when more than one is on.

    Emails

    The emails guests receive, and where their replies land.

    Where your emails come from

    Nothing to do with your domain or DNS. AVA sends from its own address with your restaurant's name on it.

    Reply-to and sender name

    The reply-to address is the one thing you have to supply. Use an inbox somebody reads every day.

    Guests see your name on the email. When they hit reply, the answer arrives at this address — not at AVA.

    Which emails go out

    Both are sent automatically — for bookings made online, by AVA on the phone, or by your staff.

    Booking confirmationSent the moment a table is booked, with the date, time and party size.
    CancellationSent when a booking is cancelled, by the guest or by you.

    Send me a test email

    Arrives exactly as a guest would receive it, so you can check the name and the reply address.
