Answers for teams preparing festive reservations.
It is a dedicated reservation form for a venue's Christmas Day service. Beyond the lead guest, time, and party size, it can collect adult and child covers, named menu choices, allergies, dietary requirements, highchairs, accessible seating, and special requests in one submission.
Start with lead guest name, email, phone, preferred sitting, alternative time, and separate adult, child, and infant counts. Add every diner's name and menu choices, allergy and dietary questions, highchairs, accessibility needs, seating requests, and a review checkbox. Only request information your team will use.
Yes. Structure the form so each named diner has an adult or child menu and their own starter, main, dessert, and dietary fields. For a modest maximum party size, conditional sections can reveal the right number of diner blocks. For larger groups, ask the organiser for a structured guest list your team can review.
List only the sittings offered and ask for a second choice. A form submission can be treated as a booking request while staff review the live table plan. State that confirmation will arrive separately when the form itself does not check real-time capacity, so guests understand the next step.
Yes. Use distinct required questions for allergies, other dietary requirements, highchairs, wheelchair space, step-free access, and seating notes. Link food requirements to the relevant diner's name and route flagged submissions to a staff review rather than assuming every request can be accommodated.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect Christmas booking requests without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Responses arrive in the Makeform inbox and can also flow to tools such as Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier. A shared sheet can give reservations staff a sortable list of lead guests, sittings, covers, menu choices, and items that need dietary or accessibility review.
Only if your workflow actually checks table capacity. Otherwise, call it a booking request and explain that staff will send confirmation after reviewing the sitting, party size, and table needs. This avoids promising a table simply because the guest completed the form.
