For restaurants
Turn a search for dinner nearby into a reserved table.
People choose a restaurant from a map and a menu, often the same evening. Start with the tables you want to fill and see what a diner finds.
What nearby customers search for
Dining searches mix a cuisine, an occasion or a time with the area, and many end in a reservation or a call.
Example searches
- italian restaurant near me
- restaurants open now
- private dining near me
- brunch Saturday near me
- takeaway near me
What to grow
- Weeknight tables. The quieter nights that decide a month.
- Private dining and groups. Larger bookings planned weeks ahead.
- Takeaway and collection. Orders from people who already know you.
Walk-ins and orders
How a restaurant sells
Reservations, walk-ins and takeaway or delivery orders, often through a reservation platform and one or two delivery apps, each a separate system.
What OwnerCue can read for a restaurant today
Reads today
- The free competitor report: where you and up to three nearby rivals appear in the same Google searches, and what their pages show that yours do not.
- Website visits, the booking, order or call clicks you already track, and the searches you appear in, from Google Analytics and Search Console, read-only.
- A reservations export, when it has a reference, when the reservation was made, the time of the visit, its status and what was booked.
- A sales export from your till, point-of-sale or payment system: one row per sale, with its date and amount.
Not yet
- Walk-in covers and takeaway orders as records of their own. There is no walk-in or order export yet.
- Which dishes sold. A sales export is read one row per bill, without line items.
- Delivery-app and marketplace orders. No delivery platform is connected.
Every source and its status
| Source | Status | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Local competitor report | Available, free | Where you and up to three nearby competitors appear in the same Google searches, sampled around your area on phone and desktop, and what their public pages show that yours do not. Each report shows how many checks completed out of those planned. Sample businesses show sample data. |
| Weekly plan | Available in the pilot | Up to three supported actions a week, each with its reason, its evidence and a review date. Fewer, or none, when the evidence does not support more. |
| Google Analytics 4 | Available, read-only | Website visits and the events you already track, such as booking, order or call clicks. |
| Google Search Console | Available, read-only | The Google searches your website appears in, with clicks and impressions. |
| Sales and booking CSV import | Available, file import | Upload a sales or bookings export from your till, point-of-sale, booking or payment system. Its columns are matched to OwnerCue's fields and previewed first, and rows that cannot be read are set aside with a reason rather than guessed. |
| Google Ads | Available, read-only reporting | Your campaigns' spend, clicks and conversions as Google reports them. Reporting only: OwnerCue never creates, changes or pauses a campaign. |
| Fresha and Square | CSV import only | Export a CSV from Fresha or Square and upload it. There is no direct connection to either. |
| Other till, booking, payment and email tools | Not connected | Tell us what you use. We will say plainly whether OwnerCue can read it, before you rely on it. |
A restaurant that wants more weeknight reservations
The owner picks dinner reservations and the neighbourhood around the restaurant.
The kind of finding the free report shows
Competitors link to online booking; none of your fetched pages does
The question
Can someone who finds the restaurant tonight reserve a table from its website?
The evidence
The three nearby restaurants in the report link to an online reservation page. This restaurant's site shows the menu and a phone number, and no fetched page links to a reservation.
The week's action
Add a reservation link to the home page and the menu page that opens the reservation platform. Record the change, then make a test reservation and cancel it.
What it will not show
Whether weeknight covers rose. That needs reservation and sales records over several weeks.
Illustration of the kind of finding the free report can show, for a made-up business. No real business, customer result or point-of-sale connection is implied.
