Encourage visitors to book reservations or sign up for waitlists.

Add restaurant reservation booking or waitlist signup to your site with OpenTable blocks. We recommend adding the OpenTable block to your homepage, your footer, or its own reservations page in your main navigation.

You can use OpenTable blocks in the Basic, Core, Plus, and Advanced plans, and in some legacy plans.

Add an OpenTable block

Before adding an OpenTable block, you'll need your OpenTable Restaurant ID. If your restaurant isn't on OpenTable yet, register here.

Bookings made through the OpenTable block may be subject to OpenTable's fees. For more information, contact OpenTable's support.

To add an OpenTable block:

  1. Open the Pages panel.
  2. Click the page where you want to add the block, then click Edit.
  3. Click Add block or + to open the block menu, then click OpenTable.
  4. Open the block editor by clicking the pencil icon on the block.
  5. Enter your OpenTable Restaurant ID.
  6. Under Localization, select the OpenTable domain for your country and select your language. The OpenTable blocks only work with certain domains and languages.
  7. Under Hide Elements, switch the Title toggle off to hide the “Make a Reservation” text, and switch the Icons toggle on to hide the icons in the block’s dropdown menus. Use the Design tab to customize what shows in the block.
  8. If your site is on version 7.0, click Apply to publish your changes.

Style the OpenTable block

How you customize the OpenTable's blocks fonts and colors depends on your site's version.

Style the OpenTable block's fonts

To style the block's fonts on version 7.1:

  1. While editing the page with the OpenTable block, click the Paintbrush icon to open site styles, then click > next to Fonts.
  2. Click Headings.
  3. Use the tweaks to style the OpenTable block's title font. The block's font size follows the Heading 3 tweak. It’s not possible to style the font of the button or dropdown menus.

Customize the OpenTable block's colors

To style the block's title color on version 7.1:

  1. While editing the page with the OpenTable block, click the Paintbrush icon to open site styles, then click > next to Colors.
  2. Hover over the color theme for the section with the OpenTable block and click the pencil icon.
  3. Use the Paragraph (medium) tweak to change the block’s title color.

To style the title font and background color of OpenTable blocks in version 7.0:

  1. Open the Site styles panel.
  2. Use the Heading 1 font tweak to style the title font.
  3. Use the OpenTable background color tweak to change the background color.
  4. Click Save.

How visitors use OpenTable blocks

Visitors to your site select a date, a time, and number of guests for their reservation, then click Find a Table. This opens a new window where they can complete the reservation.

Depending on how you style it, OpenTable blocks display like this example. If your restaurant isn't taking active reservations and uses a waitlist instead, the button says Join Waitlist instead.

On a reservation block, fields for the date, time, and number of guests display above the reservation button.

What domains and languages can I use with my OpenTable block?

When you set up your OpenTable block, choose from the available OpenTable domains and languages. For restaurants in countries outside of the supported domains, we recommend linking your OpenTable page to a button block or a text link, or using OpenTable's embed code within a code block.

OpenTable domains

OpenTable blocks are designed to work for restaurants using OpenTable domains in these countries:

  • Australia and New Zealand (opentable.com.au)
  • Germany (opentable.de)
  • Ireland (opentable.ie)
  • Japan (opentable.jp)
  • Mexico (opentable.com.mx)
  • United Kingdom (opentable.co.uk)
  • US and Canada (opentable.com)

OpenTable languages

Choose one of these languages for your OpenTable block:

  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Japanese
  • Spanish

Can I add more than one OpenTable block to a page?

No. If you add more than one OpenTable block to the same page, neither will work correctly.

To add booking for multiple restaurants, use one of these options:

The button on my OpenTable block isn’t working

If the Find a Table button isn’t working, ensure SSL is enabled and working for your domain. Issues with SSL certificates can cause the button to stop responding, especially on mobile.

My OpenTable block isn't displaying

OpenTable blocks might not display correctly to you when you're logged. To preview the block, log out or open the page in an incognito window.
