Copy and ship
Your Restaurant Reservation Form, ready to paste.
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>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.
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 classifier, 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 spam classifier 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.
- Reply-to wired to the visitor's email — reply straight from your inbox

Testimonials
Loved by developers shipping at every scale.
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
Restaurant Reservation Form questions.
View all FAQsWhy 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.
