Description
GastroReserve is a table reservation system for the hospitality industry. Guests can book a table directly on your website – you get a full overview of all reservations in the WordPress admin area.
This is the free version with basic reservation functionality: no time limit, no credit card, no account required.
Free Features:
- Table reservations via simple shortcode
[gastroreserve] - Guests choose date, time, duration and party size
- Admin dashboard with reservation overview (mark as arrived / no-show)
- Archive of past reservations
- Weekly opening hours (Mon–Sun) with custom times
Advanced features (credit-card no-show protection, a visual table plan editor, SMS reminders, an events module, special opening days/exceptions, booking cutoff, full-evening bookings) are available in a separate premium plugin at gastroreserve.com. This free plugin does not contain any code for those features.
Ideal for:
- Restaurants
- Wine taverns and Heurigen (Austria)
- Pubs and inns
- Wedding venues and event locations
External Services
This free version makes no external network connections at all. It sends
one internal email (via wp_mail) to the restaurant’s own admin address per
new reservation – no third-party service is contacted.

Changelog
4.4.3
- Escaped five remaining output spots (conditional/ternary values in
admin-page.php and frontend.php) with esc_html()/esc_attr() for
consistent output escaping throughout.
4.4.2
- Renamed the remaining “zickl-” admin menu slug, CSS classes and DOM IDs to
“gastroreserve-” for consistent naming throughout admin and frontend. - Removed CSS rules left over from earlier interface simplification that no
longer matched any markup (dead code, no functional change). - Added the missing phpcs:disable rule (WordPress.DB.PreparedSQL.InterpolatedNotPrepared)
around the one-time table-rename migration query, matching the pattern
already used in database.php. - Changelog history condensed.
4.4.1
- Removed the last two admin submenu entries that had no functionality
behind them. - Renamed internal function, hook and option names to a consistent
“gastroreserve_” prefix; own database table and option name migrated
automatically and losslessly on update. - Removed two unused hidden form fields from the frontend form.
4.4.0
- Removed all remaining premium-feature interface elements from the free
build; only genuinely free functionality remains in code and UI. - Frontend form simplified to contact details, date/time/party size and a
note field.
4.3.0 – 4.3.5
- Completed removal of paid-feature code from the free build (payment
processing, table plan editor, events module) per WordPress.org
guidelines; only cosmetic remnants were removed in earlier steps, now
the underlying code is fully gone. - Removed unused database columns and dead helper functions tied to
removed features. - Updated External Services disclosure to reflect that the free version
makes no external connections.
4.2.0 – 4.2.14
- WordPress.org Plugin Check compliance pass: consistent escaping and
sanitization of output and input, safe SQL queries, corrected plugin
header fields, minor bugfixes found during review preparation.
4.0.7 – 4.0.8
- readme.txt rewritten in English for WordPress.org.
- Text domain and plugin name unified across plugin header and readme.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
