Restaurant table reservation request form

Reservation requests arrive by phone, direct message and email, and they often miss the one detail you need. This form asks for the date, a time slot, the number of guests, a seating preference and the occasion, with room for dietary needs or a high chair. You check each request against your floor plan and confirm it, so no table is promised before you've seen it.

Tips for this form

  • Replace the time slots with your actual service times, and remove the lunch slots if you only open in the evening.
  • Set the maximum number of guests to the largest table you take online, and ask bigger groups to call you.
  • Turn on the auto-responder so guests get an email saying their request arrived and isn't confirmed until you reply.
  • If you want guests to book a free table instantly, use Zotview's restaurant booking system instead of a request form.
