Restaurant reservation form: collect the request, then confirm the table
A restaurant reservation form collects a request for a table: the date, the time the guest wants, the party size, and a phone number your host can use to confirm. The form records a request, not a booked table, so your host still checks availability and confirms each one. Keep the required fields few, because every extra question slows down the guest who only wants a table for two.

Field blueprint
Ten fields for a request your host can act on
| Field | Type | Required | Why you ask it |
|---|---|---|---|
Full name | Short text | Required | Lets the host find the request and address the guest by name when calling back. |
Phone numberThe host uses this number to confirm the table. | Phone | Required | The host needs a working number to confirm. A request without one is hard to finish. |
Email address (optional)Skip this if a phone call works better for you. | Optional | Gives guests who prefer written contact a route. The form still works without it. | |
Reservation date | Date | Required | Matches the request to the right day in your book and the right service period. |
Preferred timeFor example, 7:30 PM | Short text | Required | Guests choose a time the form cannot check, so the host confirms the closest seating. |
Party size | Number | Required | Sets the table size. Count everyone who will sit at the table, including children. |
Seating preferenceIndoorPatio or outdoorBar seatingNo preference | Single choice | Optional | Shows whether the host can offer a fit. It is a preference, so the host may need to offer another area. |
OccasionNoneBirthdayAnniversaryBusiness mealOther | Dropdown | Optional | Lets the team prepare for a celebration if you offer one, such as a card or a candle. |
Accessibility or seating needsFor food allergies or dietary needs, use the separate notice form or tell the host by phone. | Long text | Optional | Lets the host plan step-free access, a quieter table or room for a wheelchair before the guest arrives. |
Notes for the hostDo not include card numbers or identity numbers. | Long text | Optional | Captures a request that does not fit another field, such as a high chair. |

After a response arrives
Between a request and a confirmed table
Check the book before you confirm
A submission is a request, not a reservation. Check it against your book or table plan, then call or reply to confirm. Do not tell a guest the table is held until you have checked it yourself.
Plan for a delay
Submissions go through a scheduled job that runs hourly in production, and the form's creator is notified after that job processes them. For a table needed this evening, ask guests to call the restaurant instead.
Build the day's list from the grid
Attain OS shows submissions in a grid, and you can export them as a CSV file. Use the export to build the list for the day, then mark each request confirmed or declined in your own book.
Decide what happens when a time is full
The form cannot show availability or hold a table. If the requested time is full, offer the closest seating you have, or add the guest to a waitlist you run yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Does a reservation form confirm the table?
No. A submission is a request. The table is only reserved after your host checks the book and confirms with the guest, so write that step into your process and tell guests what happens next.
Is there a table reservation form template?
Paste this field list into your own document to draft the form. Keep the five required items (name, phone, date, time and party size), and add a host-note field only if someone reads it before service.
Can a guest put a deposit down through the form?
No. Attain OS does not take payments, so the form has no deposit step and should not ask for card numbers. If you take a deposit, handle it through your own process and keep the request form separate from it.
How long does the form take to fill in?
Five fields are required and the rest are optional, so a guest who only wants a table can finish quickly on a phone. Remove any optional field your host does not use when confirming.
Should a table reservation form ask about food allergies?
Keep food allergies on a separate notice, so the kitchen and the host see them as a food safety matter. Also tell guests to speak with their server when they arrive, because a reservation form is not a substitute for that conversation.
