Many restaurants are turning to WordPress to build their website, that’s a fact. But are there any suitable plugins that handle the most important thing for restaurants, accepting reservations? Let’s take a look at what we’ve found.

WooCommerce Restaurant Ordering

Restaurant Reservations Plugin


One of Barn2’s newest plugins, the WooCommerce Restaurant Ordering plugin was developed specifically with restaurants in mind. With it you can enable customers to reserve a table and pre-order their food at the same time, using the WooCommerce Bookings extension.

Although there are other WordPress plugins that let your clients reserve tables, these are standalone and don’t integrate with your food ordering system. If you’re looking to integrate the two, then we recommend the WooCommerce Restaurant Ordering plugin.

The plugin lists your menu in a one-page order form, perfect for food ordering. Customers can then choose their foods and reserve online, either for home delivery or to eat in the restaurant.

The plugin authors have provided an in-depth tutorial, covering all aspects of how to take table reservations alongside your food order system with WooCommerce. It takes you through each step of the process to set up and run your online reservation and food ordering system.

We’ve also created our very own guide to host your own restaurant ordering system with WordPress and WooCommerce.

Restaurant Reservations

Restaurant Reservations is one of the most popular reservations plugins. With it, you can accept restaurant reservations and table bookings online. You can quickly confirm or reject bookings, send out custom email notifications, restrict booking times, and more.

This plugin makes it super convenient for you to create new fully-fledged restaurant sites.

Restaurant Reservations includes an admin email notification service to inform you when a booking request is made, as well as customer email notifications when their request is confirmed or rejected.

The Events Calendar

Restaurants often create events for their patrons – whether virtual or in-person. The best way to handle such events is to use a plugin such as The Events Calendar.

This feature-rich plugin is a great way to create, manage, and display your events on a calendar on your website. The plugin also lets you customize your calendar so that it can easily integrate within your current website.

It’s great for any sort of business, including restaurants, cafes and so on, and even has WooCommerce compatibility, multi-language support for both the front-end and back-end, as well as multi-currency support.

Nowadays, restaurants are expected to have online reservation systems, not only to enable the clients to reserve tables, but to also reserve their food, and RSVP to special events. With the plugins listed above, you can ensure that your restaurant can cater for any event.

  1. Your mentioned plugins are really helpful.
    I want to suggest you All in One Reservation Plugin.
    Which is helpful to every kind of reservation.

  2. Hi, I’ve got a client that wants a booking system that allows for the e-mail subject line to include the date of the booking – is anyone aware of such a thing?

  3. Jean:

    I’m looking for a reservation WordPress plugin allowing me to run a directory with 200 different restaurants. Reservation plugin must be able to send reservation to the restaurant on the restaurant page only and not to the other 200. Don’t want to cannibalize the person’s reservation information or expose their email to anyone other then those authorized.

    Is there such a plugin?
    Thsnks and keep up the great reviews!

  4. Its great to see some excellent plugins available on the web. The Restaurant Manager plugin available for free from WordPress at is also fanatastic. It offers fantastic reservation management facilities and an online booking form with a great admin restaurant scheduler.

    If you need to create restaurant menus easily you can create meals in the admin and assign them to multiple menus. Laptop Logo mentioned that they edit menus daily so if you needed to move your meals around the menus this plugin makes that easy. You can also add special requirements to each meal item.

  5. I’m glad that you’ve not included some of the more popular restaurant plugins, because they don’t really deliver (things like easy restaurant reservation). I’d like you to check out ResRes as well, which is a new plugin released in the last month or so. The free version is here: and there’s a premium version that we can give you a copy of if you want to know more.

    Thanks a lot!

  6. After disappointment with plugins, I ended up using . It does integrate with WordPress and Is FREE. A for fee version is also available.

    1. Thanks for the tip Roland, seems like this is another niche which is still begging for a leading plugin.

  7. Hi,

    “Best” Restaurant Reservation Plugins ?

    For ReDi, look at this thread: . 🙁 For JS Restaurant, buyers ratings are not so good on Codecanyon. 🙁

    Alternative may be a theme with OpenTable compatibility like this: .

    Regards.

    1. Unfortunately you’re right, I’ve updated the post to reflect the fact that while these are the best of what I could find, that doesn’t mean that they are great solutions. I think it’s a niche that still has to be filled by a truly leading and exemplary plugin. In the meantime, as you mention, there are some themes which have had a go at this.
