Selecting tables with multiple sizes in a Booking form

Hi I'm trying to make a form for a restaurant booking

I can use the appointment widget with group booking ok, but I need to allow the booking of the correct size table, say of 2, 4 or 8.

What's the best way to achieve that while still managing the capacity so I don't overbook the restaurant?

Hi Lee,

Thank you for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can use the Inventory Widget or the Gift Registry Widget for the table sizes. These would allow the customer to choose one table size. Let me show you how to add the widgets:

I. Inventory Widget

1. In Form Builder, click Add Form Element on the left-hand side of the page.
2. Go to the Widgets tab and search for Inventory widget.
3. Drag and drop the widget in to form and click the wand icon.
4. Add the description, available quantity, quantity range, etc.
5. Click Update Widget at the bottom to save the changes.

II. Gift Registry Widget.

1. In Form Builder, click Add Form Element on the left-hand side of the page.
2. Go to the Widgets tab and search for Inventory widget.
3. Drag and drop the widget in to the form and click the wand icon.
4. Add the items, max selection, etc.
5. Click Update Widget at the bottom to save the changes.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

To me this approach looks like it would not manage the time and date of the booking as the appointment widget does? Am I wrong?

Hi Lee,

Thanks for getting back to us. You can still manage the appointments by using the appointment element. While selecting the table sizes must be done in the inventory widget since after selecting a date they must select their preferred table.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

But it won't manage the inventory by time/date slot will it.

Hi Lee,

Unfortunately, with the appointment element, multiple submissions will need to be made for each "person" in a table there for a specific appointment. The alternative to that is the solution shared by my colleague, Mafe_M, which is to use the Gift Registry or Inventory widget.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

Hi Lee,

I moved your other question to a new thread and helped you with that here.
