Guest Meal & Seating Preference Form — shared by the community

Who this template is for

Guest Meal & Seating Preference Form is built for event organisers, venues and community teams who need to collect registrations, dietary needs and ticket choices in one pass.

• Event organisers, venues and community teams working in registration & events.
• Teams who need to collect registrations, dietary needs and ticket choices in one pass without writing code or paying for a custom build.
• Anyone replacing headcounts that change hourly and no single attendee list with one structured record per enquiry.
• Respondents are attendees, guests and speakers — 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 headcounts that change hourly and no single attendee list and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

• 4 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
• 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 “Children's meal needed?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Child name and age”. Otherwise that question never appears.
• Features conditional validation: if “Children's meal needed?” is Yes, “Child name and age” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
• Features advanced show logic: if “Dietary requirements or allergies” is answered, the form dynamically exposes “Kitchen confirmation note”. 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.
