About this Product
Restaurant Table Reservations turns your Shopify store into a dine-in booking engine, so the same site that sells your gift cards, merch, and online orders also fills your tables. This is not an instant App Store install — it's a build-to-order app that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports for your specific store, theme, and floor plan.
The reservation widget embeds into your theme as a Shopify app embed / theme app extension, so it loads natively on your booking page without slowing the rest of the storefront. Diners pick a date, party size, and seating preference; the app checks real-time table availability against your floor plan and offers open slots or a waitlist when you're full. To cut no-shows, you can require a deposit or card pre-authorization at booking through Shopify checkout or a payment intent, captured or released per your policy.
Under the hood we use the Admin GraphQL API and authenticated OAuth install, store reservation and table configuration in metafields and a dedicated datastore, and subscribe to webhooks (orders, checkouts, app/uninstall, GDPR) so deposits, cancellations, and customer records stay in sync. Confirmations and SMS/email reminders fire automatically ahead of each sitting.
Because it's built to order, the data model, table rules, deposit logic, and notification copy are shaped around how your restaurant actually seats guests — single location or several. You get a working, installed system plus documentation, not a generic plugin you have to wrestle into shape. Typical delivery is one working week, and ECOSIRE provides ongoing support and updates as Shopify's APIs evolve.

Who this is for
Independent restaurant owner
Runs a single dine-in venue on Shopify for gift cards and merch, and wants the same site to take table bookings with deposits instead of paying a separate reservations platform every month.
Multi-location restaurant group operator
Manages several venues and needs each location to control its own floor plan, hours, and deposit policy while reporting through one Shopify admin.
Restaurant marketing / ops manager
Owns the customer experience and wants branded confirmations, reminder messaging, and waitlist handling that match the restaurant's voice and reduce no-shows.

Frequently Asked Questions about Restaurant Table Reservations
How long does it take to build and install?
Typical delivery is one working week from when we have your floor plan, service hours, and deposit policy. Timeline depends on how many locations and how custom your booking rules are; we confirm a firm schedule before we start. This is a build-to-order app — we design, build, and install it on your store, so it is not an instant download.
Do you provide ongoing support and updates after launch?
Yes. Every build includes a post-launch support window covering bug fixes and compatibility updates as Shopify changes its Admin GraphQL API, webhooks, and theme extension requirements. We also offer continued support and enhancement plans beyond the initial window if you want new booking rules, locations, or integrations added later.
Can guests pay a deposit to hold their table?
Yes. We can require a deposit or a card pre-authorization at the time of booking through Shopify checkout or a payment intent. You decide whether to capture it immediately, hold and release it, or apply it to the bill — and we wire the refund and no-show rules to match your policy.
Does it work with multiple restaurant locations?
Yes. The app supports multiple locations, each with its own floor plan, service windows, turn times, and deposit policy, all managed from your single Shopify admin. Availability is checked per location so a booking never double-books a table.
Is this a standard Shopify App Store app I can just install?
No. It is custom-built for your store. Because table layouts, turn times, deposit rules, and reminder copy differ for every restaurant, we build the data model and logic around how you actually seat guests, then install it on your store and hand over documentation. You are not configuring a generic plugin — you get a working system shaped to your operation.
