Reservation app for restaurants on a Wix site
A company wants to build an app that allows customers to see available time slots and make reservations at any restaurant on a Wix site.
Prerequisites
The site owner must do the following:
- Install the Table Reservations app.
- Configure at least 1 location in the dashboard.
- Ensure manual approval is disabled for online reservations at all locations. (It is disabled by default.)
Flow
To create an app that allows customers to make reservations at restaurants listed on a site’s business info page, follow this basic flow:
- Call
List Reservation Locations
in the Reservation Locations API to get a list of restaurant locations and present them to the customer to choose from. - When the customer selects a reservation location, record its ID and direct them to a page where they can enter party size and date. Pre-fill the date with the current date, and party size with 2.
- When the page initially loads, and whenever the party size or date changes, use the reservation location’s ID along with the selected party size and date to call
Get Time Slots
in the Time Slots API. SetslotsBefore
andslotsAfter
to your preferred values. - Using the information returned from
Get Time Slots
, find the start dates of time slots with the statusAVAILABLE
and present them for the customer to choose from. - When a customer selects a time slot, call
Create Held Reservation
in the Reservations API with the selected reservation location ID, date, and party size. - Redirect the customer to a new page where they can enter their details and confirm their request for a reservation.
- When the customer confirms the request, call
Reserve Reservation
in the Reservations API to add the additional details to the reservation and change its status toRESERVED
. - Notify the customer that their reservation has been approved.
