How to add it

How to add a Restaurant Reservation Form to your site.

To add a Restaurant Reservation Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.

Capture date, time, party size

Required: date, time window (e.g. 7:00 PM but flexible 6:30-8:00), party size, name, phone. Optional: special occasion, dietary restrictions, seating preference.

Confirm via SMS within an hour

Webhook to Twilio — the host gets a request, replies with confirmation or alternate time. Customer gets the reply via SMS too. Closes the loop without a phone call either direction.

Route private dining separately

A 'party of 12+' or 'private event' checkbox routes to the events manager, not the host stand. Different sales process, different lead time.

What's included

What's in this Restaurant Reservation Form template?

OpenTable's $1-per-cover pricing taxes a restaurant's reservation volume — a 60-cover Saturday costs $60 in OT fees. For small restaurants and casual concepts, a reservation request form (date, time, party size, name, phone, special requests) handles 80% of bookings for $0. The host confirms via SMS or email within the hour. The form also handles private dining inquiries, large parties, and special-occasion notes — none of which OpenTable's standard flow surfaces well anyway. OpenTable / Resy alternative for small restaurants — confirm via Twilio SMS.

  • Restaurant reservation — 7 ready-made fields
  • HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
  • One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and spam scoring, no CAPTCHA

Where submissions go

Where do your Restaurant Reservation Form submissions go?

Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

How SplitForms works

What happens after someone submits your form?

splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Where can submissions go besides email?

On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Questions

Restaurant Reservation Form questions.

View all FAQs
Why not just use OpenTable or Resy?

If you're a high-volume restaurant with a long bar wait and complex floor management, use them. If you're a small bistro doing 30-60 covers a night, OpenTable's $200+ monthly base plus per-cover fees doesn't make sense. The form handles requests; the POS handles the actual table management.

Can I integrate with my POS (Toast / Square / Resy)?

Yes — webhook the JSON. Toast and Square both accept inbound webhooks via Zapier. The reservation lands as a future-dated guest record.

How do I handle no-shows?

The form captures phone — send an SMS reminder 4 hours before the reservation via Twilio. Reduces no-shows by ~30% in industry data. For high-demand reservations, optionally collect a credit card via a follow-up Stripe link as a no-show deposit.

What about special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries?

Add a 'special occasion' field. The kitchen can prep a dessert plate; the server greets accordingly. Capturing this on the form (rather than at the table) gives the kitchen the heads-up they need.
