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. ## Screenshots [⌊Reservation form for guests (frontend)⌉⌊Reservation form for guests (frontend)⌉[ Reservation form for guests (frontend) [⌊Reservation overview in the admin area⌉⌊Reservation overview in the admin area⌉[ Reservation overview in the admin area [⌊Settings – opening hours⌉⌊Settings – opening hours⌉[ Settings – opening hours ## Installation 1.
