Public site and QR codes

Public site and QR codes

Quick answer - Your public site is the customer-facing booking or ordering page Resk can share by link, QR code, website button, or social profile. Check branding, services, availability, payments, and mobile layout before publishing it.

Use this guide when - Your business uses Resk public booking, restaurant ordering, restaurant reservations, or garage booking/status links.

Before you start - Finish business profile, services, availability, and payment setup. Restaurant and garage accounts should also review their module-specific setup.

Open public booking site settings

  1. In Resk, open Public Booking Site or Settings -> Public Booking Site.
  2. Start with Identity & subdomain.
  3. Set the slug customers will see in the booking link.
  4. Add the display name, tagline, and description.
  5. Add a custom domain only if your business already uses one.

Use plain customer language. A short sentence about what customers can book is clearer than internal wording.

Set branding, routes, and the booking widget

  1. Add a logo and cover image that match the public brand.
  2. Set the main colours so the booking page feels like your business.
  3. Add the main website URL if customers should return to your website.
  4. Check the Site and Hosted booking links under Routes & widget.
  5. Use Copy embed only when you want to place the booking widget inside another website.
  6. Use Open site to check what customers will see.

The hosted booking link is the simplest link to share in social bios, messages, QR codes, and reminder emails. The widget is for businesses that already have a website and want booking to appear on that site.

  1. Fill in phone, email, address, city, postcode, and country.
  2. Add social links customers actually use.
  3. Add review links only when they point to the right public profile.
  4. Turn on review links if you want them visible on the public page.
  5. Add gallery images that show the real business, work, space, or results.
  6. Save, then open the public page on a phone.

The gallery should help customers feel confident before booking. Use clear photos of the real business, work, space, or results. Avoid screenshots, posters, or images that do not help customers decide.

Publish and test the public page

  1. Save the public booking site settings.
  2. Open the site link in a private browser window.
  3. Check the first screen, booking buttons, services, contact details, and images.
  4. Test the page on mobile.
  5. Make one test booking if your account is ready.
  6. Remove the test booking before sharing the link publicly.

Check the customer flow

  1. Start a booking, reservation, order, or status lookup as a customer would.
  2. Confirm the available services or times are correct.
  3. Check confirmation text, SMS wording, and any deposit or payment step.
  4. Test on a phone-sized screen before sharing the link publicly.

Use QR codes

  1. Open the QR Codes area where available.
  2. Generate the QR code for the correct public page.
  3. Test the code with a phone camera.
  4. Use the code on menus, posters, reception desks, service counters, or printed reminders.

Common mistakes

  • Publishing the link before services and availability are finished.
  • Sharing a test QR code instead of the live public page.
  • Forgetting to test mobile layout.
  • Leaving old opening hours on the public page after seasonal changes.

If something goes wrong

If customers cannot book, check availability, service rules, payment requirements, and whether the public page was saved. If the page opens but looks wrong, update the public booking site settings and refresh the public page.
