About this Product

Table Reservation & Dining Booking turns your Shopify restaurant site into a real booking engine — guests pick a date, time slot and party size on your own theme, and the system holds the table against live capacity. No third-party widget, no redirect to a booking portal, no monthly per-cover SaaS fee.

This is a build-to-order app: after purchase, ECOSIRE builds, installs and configures the system on your store. We register a custom Shopify app against your shop, authenticate via OAuth, and wire reservations into your storefront using App Embed blocks and theme sections so the booking flow lives natively in your theme. Reservation records, table layouts and per-slot capacity are stored in metafields and a backing datastore, and we use the Admin GraphQL API plus webhooks (orders/paid, app/uninstalled) to keep deposits, confirmations and cancellations in sync.

What it solves: walk-in chaos, double-booked tables, and no-shows. Optional deposits or full pre-payment run through Shopify Checkout, so a confirmed booking is a paid order in your Admin. Multi-location support maps each venue to a Shopify location so availability is calculated per site. You can publish custom dining experiences — tasting menus, chef's table, ticketed events — as bookable products with their own capacity and pricing.

Staff manage everything from an admin dashboard: a calendar view of the day's covers, waitlist management when slots fill, and automated reminders to cut no-shows.

Because every restaurant runs differently, we scope the floor plan, slot rules and deposit policy with you before building. You own the code and the data. ECOSIRE handles delivery, installation and ongoing support — honest lead times, no surprise platform fees.

Who this is for

Independent restaurant owner

Runs one or two dining rooms and is tired of phone-only bookings and a notebook on the host stand. Wants guests to reserve online from the same site they browse the menu on, with deposits to stop no-shows — without paying a per-cover SaaS subscription forever.

Multi-location dining group

Operates several venues under one Shopify store and needs availability calculated separately per location, each with its own floor plan, service hours and capacity, managed from a single admin dashboard.

Experience-led venue or chef's table

Sells ticketed tasting menus, supper clubs and special events. Needs each experience published as a bookable product with fixed seats, upfront payment and a waitlist when it sells out.

Frequently Asked Questions about Table Reservation & Dining Booking

Is this an instant App Store download?

No. This is a build-to-order app. After purchase, ECOSIRE builds, configures and installs the reservation system on your specific Shopify store — we register a custom app, authenticate via OAuth, and embed the booking flow into your theme. You are not downloading a generic listing from the App Store.

How long does delivery take?

A standard single-location build typically takes about 1–2 weeks from the point we have your floor plan, service hours and deposit policy. Multi-location setups or custom dining experiences add scoping time. We confirm a firm timeline with you before starting, and the lead time is honest — no 'live in 5 minutes' promises.

What do you need from me to start?

Collaborator (or staff) access to your Shopify store, your table/floor-plan layout, service windows and turn times, your deposit or pre-payment policy, and the messaging you want on reminders. We scope all of this with you first, then build.

How are deposits and no-shows handled?

Deposits or full pre-payment run through Shopify Checkout, so a confirmed booking becomes a paid order in your Admin. You set the deposit amount, the cancellation cut-off window, and whether the deposit is forfeited on a late cancel or no-show. Automated reminders go out before the reservation to reduce no-shows in the first place.

Do I get ongoing support and updates?

Yes. ECOSIRE supports the app after install — bug fixes, Shopify API/version compatibility, and configuration changes such as new slot rules, blackout dates or added locations. We agree the support scope and any maintenance terms with you at handover; you own the code and data either way.

Can it handle more than one venue?

Yes. Each venue maps to a Shopify location, so availability, floor plans and capacity are calculated independently per site while staff manage everything from one admin dashboard.
