Five Star Restaurant Reservations Premium for WordPress

Five Star Restaurant Reservations Premium includes capacity settings, custom fields, and configurable email notifications to a restaurant booking form in WordPress. Guests submit reservations through a responsive form, and staff review requests in the WordPress administration area.

Booking form and schedule

Place the form with the Gutenberg restaurant booking block or the [booking-form] shortcode, or select a reservation page in the plugin settings. Patterns are available for block-based themes. Set the dates and times open for reservations, add exceptions for holidays or special events, and define minimum and maximum party sizes.

Capacity by bookings or seats

Set a dining block length and choose a limit for each block: a maximum number of reservations or a maximum number of seats or people. These settings count various things: the reservation limit caps bookings, while the seat limit caps diners. Optional thresholds can automatically confirm bookings below a set limit.

Guests choose a party size before choosing a date and time. Availability checks use that selection alongside capacity limits, party-size rules, automatic confirmation settings, and early-booking options to determine which days and time slots appear.

Rules for multiple locations

When multiple locations are set up through Five Star Business Profile, reservation and seat limits can be configured for each location. To make a form for one location, use a shortcode attribute to assign submitted bookings there and conceal the location selector.

Guest details and booking emails

Add Premium custom fields as text inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, or radio buttons. They can collect details such as promo codes, allergy information, or dietary concerns. Other form settings include requiring a phone number, choosing date and time formats, and displaying a custom message after a successful booking.

Staff can add or edit bookings in the administration area, then confirm or reject requests. Configure an unlimited number of unique email notifications in the Premium notifications table. Each notification has a trigger, recipient, subject, and message; template tags can insert reservation details. Customers can receive confirmation or rejection emails, and administrators can be notified of new requests.

Setup

After activation, a walkthrough helps you add the booking form and configure key options. Set the schedule, party-size rules, location settings, capacity, custom fields, and notification messages, then place the form on the chosen page.
