This feature is available to select partners only. If you are unsure whether your account is eligible, open a case in the Actions Center Partner Portal.

  • Users can search for offers available from today (D) up to six days in the future (D+6). They must select a specific date and time slot for the offer.

  • All selectable time slots are 60 minutes. The only exceptions are the first or default time slot (represented by "Any time") and the last time slot (represented by "11PM & beyond"), which may have a variable duration.

  • When a user selects an offer, Google redirects to the partner's deep link. The user's selected date and time slot are appended as two parameters in Unix epoch (at local time):

    • dineIn-st: start time
    • dineIn-et: end time

  • The offer shown is the best one available between dineIn-st and dineIn-et. If dineIn-et is -1, the search extends through the end of the restaurant's operational day (which can be after midnight).
  • Partners are expected to present the selected offer on their landing page, adhering to the existing landing page policy. This can be achieved by referencing the offer_id from the deep link (deep link example: https://mysite.com/{restaurant_id}/booking?offer_id={offer_id}), or by using the dineIn-st and dineIn-et parameters to identify and display the specific offer.
