Who this template is for
Private Dining & Event Booking 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 14 questions across 2 screens.
- 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 pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

- Features advanced show logic: if “Guest count” is over 60, the form dynamically exposes “Full buyout note”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Wine pairing?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Sommelier consultation?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How do I define room capacity in the logic?

Is a deposit always required?

Can this replace a phone consultation entirely?
For simple bookings yes; larger buyouts usually still benefit from a short call after the form arrives.
