People can tap a button within these tweets. This button opens a booking interface. Users choose their preferred date, time, and group size. They confirm the reservation right there on Twitter. The process is meant to be quick. It keeps users on the Twitter app.
Twitter aims to become a more useful daily tool. Adding practical features like bookings is key. Restaurants gain a new way to attract customers. They connect with people already interested in their tweets. This could drive more diners to their tables.
A Twitter spokesperson confirmed the test. “We’re always exploring ways to add value,” the spokesperson said. “Helping people discover places and book easily fits that goal. We want Twitter to be indispensable.” The company did not say when the feature might launch widely. It also did not name the restaurants involved in the test.

The success depends on user adoption and restaurant participation. Industry experts will watch the test results closely.
