About this template

A reservation is not just a name on a list — it is a floor-plan decision and a promise about timing. This form captures party size, arrival window, occasion, seating preference and waitlist consent so the host can plan tables honestly and the guest knows what happens if the room is full when they arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace OpenTable?
No — it is a lightweight layer that captures occasion, seating and waitlist consent, which booking apps typically skip.
Can we hold tables for walk-ins?
Add a reservation vs walk-in toggle or a specific seating block; export to your host.
Is it free?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and reuse for every service.
How do we run a waitlist?
Consent captured at booking; SMS or WhatsApp the guest when a table clears.
Can we collect deposits?
Add a deposit checkbox or a payment field; the guest's acknowledgment is stored with each booking.
