Why Restaurants & Hospitality Need Link Management

Restaurants and hospitality businesses rely on links for:

• digital menus,
• reservations and booking pages,
• delivery platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.),
• online ordering,
• contact forms and WhatsApp chats,
• hotel amenities and room service,
• event and catering inquiries,
• reviews and customer feedback,
• Wi-Fi login instructions,
• seasonal promotions.

With so many digital touchpoints, restaurants and hotels need clear, organised link workflows to deliver seamless guest experiences.

QR Codes for Menus & In-Person Guests

QR Codes have become the standard for restaurants and hospitality. They are used for:

• digital menus and allergen information,
• table ordering systems,
• daily specials and seasonal menus,
• waitlist and reservation access,
• hotel in-room service links,
• restaurant event promotions,
• feedback and rating forms.

Every Cuttly link includes a QR Code automatically, making it easy to update menus or content without reprinting materials.

Short Links for Easy Guest Communication

Restaurants and hotels frequently communicate through:

• Instagram Stories and Reels,
• Google Business Profile posts,
• SMS confirmations,
• WhatsApp order messages,
• printed materials (flyers, table signs, menus),
• business cards and promotional cards.

Short links keep communication easy to read and mobile-friendly.

Link-in-Bio Pages for Restaurants, Cafés & Hotels

A Link-in-bio page serves as an all-in-one digital hub for guests. Restaurants and hospitality businesses use these pages for:

• menus and ordering links,
• reservation systems (OpenTable, Resy),
• event calendars,
• loyalty program links,
• downloadable brochures,
• social profiles,
• gift card sales,
• venue photos or virtual tours.

Link-in-bio pages are especially useful for Instagram, TikTok, Google Business Profile and hotel marketing materials.

Branded Short Domains for Professional Guest Experience

A custom short domain helps restaurants and hotels deliver a professional, memorable and trustworthy experience. Examples:

• menu.yourrestaurant.com
• go.yourhotel.link
• events.yourvenue.bio

Branded domains also make printed materials and QR Code signage look polished and consistent.

Analytics for Guest Engagement

Restaurants & hospitality businesses benefit from understanding:

• which links attract attention,
• when guests interact with menus or offers,
• device usage (mobile vs desktop),
• traffic sources (Google Maps, social media, direct),
• popular time windows,
• geographic interest,
• QR scan behaviour.

These insights help optimise promotions, menu presentation and guest workflows.

Full analytics overview available in the Analytics Guide.

Campaign Tags for Menu Updates, Promotions & Events

Restaurants and hotels can organise links using Campaign tags such as:

• seasonal menus,
• limited-time promotions,
• holiday events,
• live music nights,
• chef specials,
• hotel service areas (spa, dining, pools, events),
• QR menus by location or floor.

Tag Analytics show which promotions, menus and services capture guest attention.
