Who this template is for
Guest Check-In Form is built for restaurants, hotels and venues who need to take bookings with party size, timing and special requests.
- Restaurants, hotels and venues working in restaurants & hospitality.
- Teams who need to take bookings with party size, timing and special requests without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing handwritten booking notes and lost dietary requirements with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are guests and diners — the form asks them 11 questions across 1 screen.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of handwritten booking notes and lost dietary requirements and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 7 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Estimated arrival time” is answered, the form dynamically exposes “I have read the late check-in instructions”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Vehicle registration” is answered, the form dynamically exposes “Parking information”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Accept house rules” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Signature”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
Is uploading ID secure?
Uploads are stored with the response and access is limited to your team. Set a deletion schedule that matches your registration rules.
Do guests still need to visit reception?
Only to collect a key. Everything the desk used to type is already in the submission.
What about guests who ignore the email?
Keep a tablet at the desk with the same form open — it is faster than a paper card even in person.
What should follow the stay?
The Guest Satisfaction Survey, which scores cleanliness, staff and value and routes promoters to a public review.
