How Restaurants Can Increase Reservations Using Instagram and Link in Bio

Use Cases
Updated: August 25, 2025

Instagram is now indispensable for restaurant marketing. However, it's common for potential customers to be interested by a photo but fail to make a reservation. This is where Link in Bio becomes effective.


1. Clearly Present Menu and Store Information

On Instagram, you can convey charm through photos and brief text. However, those who want more information need menu details, business hours, and access information.

Using Link in Bio, you can display in one click:

  • Popular menus and courses
  • Seasonal recommendations
  • Google Maps and directions

2. Prepare the Shortest Path to the Reservation Page

The moment someone thinks 'this looks good', being able to book immediately significantly affects visit rates. In Link in Bio, it's effective to place the reservation page in the most prominent position.

  • External reservation links like Hot Pepper or Tabelog
  • Your restaurant's official booking form
  • Reservation services integrated with Instagram

Design a pathway that allows visitors to proceed to booking without confusion.


3. Immediately Reflect Campaigns and Limited-Time Events

The appeal of restaurants often lies in 'seasonality' and 'limited-time offers'. Updating your Link in Bio allows you to instantly reflect campaign information, maximizing customer attraction.

Examples:

  • 'This weekend only! Free dessert'
  • 'New seasonal course available'
  • 'Announcement of a live event'

Linking this with Instagram posts makes it easier to convert to reservations.


It's crucial not just to facilitate reservations, but also to share the post-visit experience on SNS. By placing links to review pages and official SNS in your Link in Bio, you can build repeat customers and expand user-generated content (UGC).


Summary

  • Link in Bio is essential for Instagram marketing
  • Clearly arrange menu, access, and reservation pages
  • Update campaigns and limited events immediately for increased customer attraction
  • Post-visit SNS sharing pathways increase fans

👉 For restaurants, Link in Bio is a 'simple and powerful mechanism to increase reservation numbers'.
