Frequently asked questions

General

What is Restu.cz?

Restu.cz is largest restaurant guides and booking system. It helps to find the most suitable business, see the lunch menu, find out what's happening in your neighborhood, inspire and make a super simple booking.

How does Restu.cz work?

Restu.cz is a gastronomic guide which cooperates with a large number of restaurants where you can make a one-click reservation on the Web or via the application. We take care of everything else.

Reservation

How much do I pay for the reservation?

You pay nothing for the reservation service, it’s completely free.

Why verification within 10 minutes?

We set 10 minutes as ideally the maximum time required to process your reservation, during which we contact the restaurant selected by you and verify its availability. Then we confirm the reservation to you by e-mail. Reservations made between 10:00 and 21:00 will be processed within 10 minutes, whilst the others will be sorted in the morning shortly after 10 am.

Why are some restaurant reservations confirmed within 10 minutes, others are confirmed immediately, or some take more than 10 minutes?

In restaurants where they use the Restu Electronic Reservation Book and have enough vacancies at the time you demand, your reservation will be confirmed immediately by clicking on "RESERVE". But if the capacity is partially occupied and they need to verify that the reservation can be arranged to your satisfaction then in this case the reservation processing may take 10 minutes or longer, depending on the restaurant availability.

What is a real-time reservation?

Real-time reservation simplifies the whole reservation process and immediately informs users of a successful or unsuccessful reservation, regardless of the given hour and the restaurant's opening hours.

What is a guaranteed reservation?

We cannot promise you a vacancy in advance, but you can be sure that if your requested restaurant has a space at your desired time then we will reserve it for you and will confirm it by e-mail and SMS immediately to your listed phone number.

My reservations and my personal details are not being displayed

If you want to see your reservations you need to create them via the same email under which you registered on Restu. It is possible that logging into the application took place through Facebook where you are registered via another email. In the case you want to have the reservations from both e-mails in one place, just set an alternative email in your account settings.

Rating

How can I rate the restaurant on the web?

Rating a restaurant is only possible by prior reservation through Restu.cz by using the review option. Alternatively, you can rate a restaurant without prior reservation by using the check-in function. You will find this in the application and on the mobile web in the restaurant detail.

How can I rate a restaurant via the application?

The “check-in” function was created for the possibility of making a restaurant rating without any prior reservation via Restu.cz. The user can make five check-ins per day but only one check-in per hour.

What is the difference between the rating from a reservation and the rating from a check-in?

A rating from a reservation inspires confidence that the review is written based on a personal experience. A rating from a check-in cannot be verified that the guest really visited the restaurant, that is why for a rating written on the base of a reservation it is more important for us.

Credits and vouchers

What are the credits for?

You can redeem credits to get vouchers for selected restaurants.

How can I get credits?

You get credits for each reservation, review and check-in that you make. The only condition is to have created an account.

When are the credits added to my account?

Credits are always credited the following day i.e. 24 hours after the restaurant visit. The condition for obtaining them is always a previous electronic reservation via the Restu application or the reservation form on the Restu.cz website.

I didn’t receive any credits for the rating

To earn credits for a review it is necessary that the text in the rating contains at least 160 characters.

How do I exchange credits for a valid voucher?

You can redeem credits by buying a voucher to a restaurant. Credits can be used to a maximum of 25% of the value of the voucher. If you are buying a voucher for CZK300 then you can pay a maximum of CZK75 in credits. If you are buying a voucher for CZK500 then you can pay CZK125 in credits etc.

How to extend the validity of credits?

By creating a reservation and subsequently visiting the restaurant in the validity time of your credits, you are extending the validity of credits back to the full 90 days. So your credits can be immortal.
