What “ready” means

Guests tap Reserve on your Google listing; the booking appears on your Snap On board as source google. Staff seat into POS as usual.

  1. Snap On Reservations enabled
  2. Tables + public booking slug configured
  3. Claimed Google Business Profile
  4. Partner / merchant connection for Google Reserve
  5. Place ID + merchant ID saved, sync on

Part A — Prepare Snap On

  1. Open Reservations and add tables (name + seats).
  2. Settings: enable online booking, set turn time, copy /book.html?s=….
  3. Optional: create a test booking and Seat it into POS.
  4. Settings → Google Bookings: paste Place ID when you have it; keep sync off until live.

Part B — Google Business Profile

  1. Claim/verify the venue at business.google.com.
  2. Match name, address, phone, hours, and category.
  3. Find your Place ID with Google’s Place ID Finder.
  4. Paste Place ID into Snap On → Save Google settings.

Part C — Google Reserve partner step

Production “Reserve” on Maps uses Google’s Maps Booking / Actions Center. Most venues need Snap On (or another booking partner) to complete merchant linking.

With Snap On help (guided or full)

  1. In Reservations → Google Bookings, choose Guided (30 min) or Full setup.
  2. Pay the invoice when sent (guided = 20% of full; full = $149).
  3. Share Place ID, Business Profile owner email, and any special hours/party rules.
  4. Snap On assigns merchant ID, enables sync when Google marks you live, and confirms a test booking.

Self-serve

  1. Follow Parts A–B, then choose Self-serve (free ticket) so Ops can still issue a merchant ID when ready.
  2. When you receive a merchant ID, paste it, enable Sync Google bookings, confirm status connected.

Part D — Go-live checklist

Need help?

Assistance buys Snap On time — not access to this guide. Partial help is capped at 30 minutes.
