Facebook Reservations Page Setup

To start creating bookings through your restaurant Facebook site you must first create a new page on your facebook site.

The easist way to do this is by using one of the many free app available. The app will allow you to add a new reservations page, change the name of the page and add the custom code for your restaurant booking form.

• Find the App
  Start by typing "static iframe tab" into the facebook search box. Choose the "Static Iframe Tab" app (second one down HTML TAB).
• Install the App
  This will take you to the HTML TAB facebook install page where you can click on the "Install Page Tab" button.
  Click the "Install Page Tab" button.
• Click the "Add Static IFrame Tab" button.
  you may need to agree to allow the app to access your facebook

CUSTOMIZING THE APP TO SUIT YOUR RESERVATION PAGE

• The previous action will have created a new page, initially called "Welcome" (1)
• Make sure the settings are the same as the image below (2) and that your have the "Source" option active (3)
• Add the Eveve code
  Its now time to add the custom html code supplied by Eveve.
  

  Below is only a sample but your restaurants code can be customized as required by changing the 'RESTAURANT_SERVICE_NAME' to your service name.
  Contact us for your code snippet.

  Sample:

  <div style="width:100%; text-align:center;">
