This feature can be activated or deactivated at any time by TFM Pro/PRO+ users in the advanced setting of the system.In addition, the restaurant can then select the timeframe to send those reconfimations (ex: 2 hours before service) and even customize the reconfirmation message.

Main benefit of reconfirmation: restaurants will receive notifications whenever a customer confirms or cancel their reservation and it will help them fight against No-Shows.

Reduce the no-show risk using Credit Card imprint*

Now you can limit the risk of no-show and cancelation by setting up a credit card imprint feature on TheFork Manager! This tool allows you to request a credit card guarantee from your customers when they book on your website, through TheFork or even by phone. In the event that the client does not comply with the cancellation policy or makes a No-Show, you can charge the amount established by you. The bank footprint can be configured according to your needs.
