A customer searching "restaurant" on Google Maps compares photos and reviews. A virtual tour gives what photos do not: the size of the room, the distance between tables, the terrace, the counter, the evening light. They know where they will sit before they have booked.
This is what VirtualMaroc built for ILOLI, a Japanese restaurant in Casablanca: the counter, the ground-floor tables, the mezzanine and the terrace in 360°, the menu readable space by space, and a booking request that leaves from the tour. The Google listing, the map and directions are linked to the same page.
Comparison
| Without a tour | With a virtual tour | |
|---|---|---|
| Discovering the room | A few photos, often old | Every space walked in 360°, by day and by night |
| The menu | A PDF or a photo | The menu readable inside the tour, updated from the back office |
| Booking | Call, message, third-party platform | Table request or WhatsApp from the chosen space, with a calendar reminder |
| Groups and private hire | Questions by phone | Capacities and private spaces visible, quote request built in |
| Local visibility | The Google listing alone | Google listing, directions, reviews and social media linked to one page |
| Tracking | None | Most viewed spaces, clicks to booking, requests recorded |
What to prepare
The up-to-date menu with prices, opening hours per service, the capacity of each space and the booking channel the team prefers (WhatsApp, phone, form, existing platform). Capture takes half a day, tables laid, ideally before service.
What you get
A web application in your colours: spaces, menu, gallery, booking, directions and analytics, linked to your website and your Google listing, in French, English and Arabic if you wish. Copy and menu stay editable by your team.
