What restaurants.Best does differently
Guests can follow the restaurant
We found no follow or newsletter feature on Taplink's pages; its tools point at leads and payments. Every restaurants.Best hub, the free one included, carries a Super Follow button, so a guest who liked dinner can keep the restaurant with one tap and hear from it again.
Writing to the people who came back
On Premium a restaurant writes to its Super Followers from the hub, and each message lands in their super box. A welcome can go out automatically the moment someone follows, with a code or a private link. Pro adds rows that stay shut until a guest follows, such as the chef's table booking.
An address with the restaurant's name
Taplink's free addresses already put your name in a subdomain on taplink.ws. restaurants.Best does the same on its own namespace: yourrestaurant.restaurants.best on Pro, which tells a guest the page belongs to a restaurant before they open it. The free form, restaurants.best/yourname, works from day one.
For a restaurant, in practice
A caterer taking event enquiries
A caterer that wants enquiry forms, deposits and a list of leads would get more from Taplink BUSINESS, with forms, payments and a CRM in one place. restaurants.Best links to whatever form or booking tool the caterer uses and adds a follow button, but it does not offer forms or payments of its own.
A ramen bar with a loyal crowd
Regulars keep asking when the limited bowl is back. The bar adds its hub to the Instagram bio and the receipt, and guests Super Follow. On Premium, the day the bowl returns, one message from the hub reaches every follower's super box, with no feed deciding who sees it.
A taqueria on a tight budget
With no money to spend yet, the taqueria can start on either free plan. Taplink BASIC adds a QR code and AI page generation at no cost. restaurants.Best Starter gives it a hub at restaurants.best/yourname, unlimited links and Super Follow, so the followers it gathers from the first week are already its own.

- Does Taplink let customers follow my restaurant?
- We found no follow or subscribe feature on Taplink's pages. Its buttons open WhatsApp, Telegram or SMS so a visitor can start a conversation, and BUSINESS notifies the owner of new leads. restaurants.Best puts a Super Follow button on every hub, and Premium lets the restaurant message those followers.
- Why pay €5 when Taplink is cheaper?
