You can configure booking rules, opening hours, custom questions, and embed scripts all from one page. ## How to Get There 1. In the left sidebar, click **Settings**. 2. Click **Table Reservation**. The Table Reservation page has four tabs: **General**, **Opening Hours**, **Custom Fields**, and **Widget Script**. || **Before you start:** Make sure Table Reservation is enabled under Settings → Restaurant Profile → Service Types. If it is not turned on, the booking option will not appear on your storefront. ## Tab 1 — General Configure the core rules for how bookings work. * **Display name** — The name shown to customers on the booking form. Leave blank to use the default *Book a Table*. You might change this to *Reserve a Table* or *Make a Reservation*. * **Notes** — A message shown to customers on the booking form. Use this for important information like your cancellation policy or dress code (e.g. *Bookings are confirmed within an hour during business hours*). * **Minimum No. of Guests** — The smallest party size you will accept a booking for. Leave blank for no minimum. * **Maximum No. of Guests** — The largest party size you will accept. Leave blank for no maximum. * **Maximum days ahead** — How far in advance customers can make a booking (e.g. 14 days). * **Time interval (mins)** — The gap between available booking slots on the form (e.g. 30 minutes creates slots at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00). * **Booking lead time (mins)** — The minimum amount of time before a slot that customers can book. For example, 60 means customers cannot book a slot less than 60 minutes from now. Click **Save Changes** when done. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/f/e/c/2/fec2bb2c3e13f800/screenshot-2026-06-27-at-11200_1k5g0ny.png) ## Tab 2 — Opening Hours Set which days and times customers can make table reservations. 1. Toggle each day **Open** or **Closed**. 2. For open days, enable **24 Hours** or set specific hours using the time dropdowns. 3. Enable **Copy opening hours to all other services** if you want these same hours to apply to other services too. 4. Click **Save Changes**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/f/e/c/2/fec2bb2c3e13f800/screenshot-2026-06-27-at-11201_rtnrhe.png) ## Tab 3 — Custom Fields Add extra questions to your booking form — up to 10 custom fields. These are useful for collecting information like dietary requirements, special occasions, or seating preferences. 1. Click **+ Add field**. 2. Configure the field (label, field type, whether it is required). 3. Click **Save changes**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/f/e/c/2/fec2bb2c3e13f800/screenshot-2026-06-27-at-11202_jn69vx.png) ## Tab 4 — Widget Script Embed your table reservation form on your own website or share it as a direct link. ### Direct Link Copy the **Direct link** URL and paste it into a button on your website, social media bio, or Google Business profile. Customers who click it will go directly to your booking form. ### Embed Script Copy the **Embed script** and paste it into the `` section of your website. When a visitor clicks your booking button, the reservation form will open in a modal popup — no iframe required. || Note: The widget automatically uses your Ressto branding colours and theme settings. Any branding changes you make will update the widget automatically — no redeployment needed. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/f/e/c/2/fec2bb2c3e13f800/screenshot-2026-06-27-at-11202_9u7b9q.png)
