Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Google reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

Why Use BlooTrue for OpenTable on Carrd?

OpenTable's official widget only books tables and Carrd has no app ecosystem — BlooTrue is the free path through the Embed element.

Shows the Reviews OpenTable's Widget Won't

OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go complement — it pulls verified-diner reviews from your public OpenTable restaurant page automatically.

Keeps Diners on Your Page

Linking out to your OpenTable restaurant page sends diners to a marketplace where competing restaurants are one tap away. Embedding the reviews keeps the proof — and the booking — on your own site.

Fits the One-Page Flow

The widget renders within whatever section width Carrd gives it. Compact badge under your hours and address, or a slider band above your reservation link — nothing breaks the layout.

No OpenTable API Key Required

Works with any public OpenTable restaurant page. No developer application, no API quotas, no restaurant-account login required — and star ratings display exactly as they appear on OpenTable.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on Carrd?

Takes less than a minute via the Embed element. You'll need Carrd Pro Standard ($19/yr) or higher.

Open Your Site in the Carrd Editor

Log into carrd.co and open your site in the editor.

Plan check: the Embed element requires the Pro Standard plan ($19/yr) or higher — it is not on the free tier or Pro Lite.

Add an Embed Element

Click the + button to add an element and choose Embed from the element list.

Position it where the reviews should sit — under your hours and address, or as a band just above your reservation or contact link.

Set Type to Code and Paste

In the Embed element settings, set Type to Code, paste the BlooTrue OpenTable embed code into the code field, and click Done. The widget renders within the section width Carrd gives it — no overflow, no layout breakage.

Publish

Click Publish (the checkmark in the top-right). Your OpenTable reviews are live on your one-page site immediately.

Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours.

OpenTable Review Widget for Carrd — Free Widget, One-Page Fit

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Carrd is a free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any Carrd one-page site. Carrd is known for link-in-bio pages and freelancer portfolios, but plenty of small restaurants — cafés, food trucks, pop-up kitchens, neighborhood bistros — run their entire web presence on a single Carrd page, and for them OpenTable is where the reviews live: every one is written by a verified diner who booked and honored a reservation. Two gaps stand between those reviews and your page: OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations (it never displays reviews), and Carrd has no app ecosystem — the Embed element is its only extension surface. BlooTrue bridges both. One thing to know up front: embeds are a paid Carrd feature — the Embed element requires the Pro Standard plan ($19/yr) or higher. The BlooTrue widget itself is free, so $19/yr is the total cost of the stack. The install: click + to add an element, choose Embed, set Type to Code, paste the snippet, click Done, then Publish. The widget renders responsively within whatever section or container width Carrd gives it, and shows your real 1–5 star ratings exactly as they appear on OpenTable — no conversion. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker. On paid plans, schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added to the page where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe, so search engines and AI assistants can read the reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars.

Why doesn't OpenTable's own widget show reviews?

OpenTable's official website widget is built for one job: booking tables. It embeds a reservation form, not your reviews — the verified-diner reviews stay on your opentable.com restaurant page. For Carrd the gap is total — there is no app ecosystem to fill it — so a third-party embed through the Embed element is the only way to surface OpenTable reviews on a Carrd page. BlooTrue is the free way to do it.

About OpenTable reviews in this widget

Your OpenTable widget shows the diner reviews from your restaurant's OpenTable page, the one at opentable.com/r. The score heading the widget is the overall star rating and review count OpenTable reports for that page, rather than a number built from the cards. Every review comes from a diner who booked through OpenTable and honoured the reservation, so nobody who did not sit down at your tables can post one. OpenTable's own website widget only takes reservations; pasting it in the hope of seeing diner reviews gets you a booking form, since OpenTable has no review embed.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have the OpenTable reservation widget on my site, does it show reviews too?

No. OpenTable's reservation widget takes bookings and offers no way to show diner reviews. The BlooTrue widget is a separate one-line embed built from your opentable.com/r restaurant URL, showing the reviews diners left after honouring a reservation, with the OpenTable rating and review count in the header taken from your page.

Are OpenTable reviews worth embedding if diners can only review after a reservation?

Yes, because that rule is what sets OpenTable apart. OpenTable only opens the review form to a diner who honoured a reservation booked through OpenTable, so every card on your site comes from a person who ate at your restaurant on a known date. Sites that let anyone post cannot say that about their reviews.

How quickly does a new OpenTable review reach my website?

On a paid plan, by the next day: the widget refreshes from your OpenTable page every 24 hours, so a review written after last night's reservation appears the following day, and the BlooTrue badge is removed. On the free plan the diner reviews are the ones imported when you first published the widget; new ones do not arrive.

Which Carrd plan do I need to embed OpenTable reviews?

Carrd's Pro Standard plan ($19/yr) or higher. The Embed element — Carrd's only surface for third-party code — is a paid feature; it isn't on the free tier or Pro Lite. The BlooTrue widget itself is free, so $19/yr is the total cost of the setup.

Doesn't OpenTable already offer a website widget for Carrd?

OpenTable's official widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. And Carrd has no app ecosystem at all, so there's no OpenTable app to install either. BlooTrue fills the review gap with a free embed.

Do I need an OpenTable API key or developer access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public OpenTable restaurant page — no OpenTable API key, no developer application, no restaurant-account login required.

Will the OpenTable widget fit a one-page Carrd layout?

Yes. The widget is fully responsive and renders within whatever section or container width Carrd gives it — no overflow, no horizontal scroll. The compact badge takes a single row; the slider works as a full-width band above your reservation link.

Is an OpenTable widget useful on a one-page Carrd site for a restaurant?

Very. Cafés, food trucks, pop-up kitchens, and neighborhood bistros often run their entire web presence on a one-page Carrd site, and diners check OpenTable reviews before deciding to book a table. Every review comes from a verified diner who honored a reservation — embedding them keeps that proof on your page instead of sending visitors to opentable.com, where competing restaurants are one tap away.

Where exactly do I paste the embed code in the Carrd editor?

Click the + button to add an element, choose Embed, set Type to Code, paste the BlooTrue OpenTable embed code, click Done, then Publish.

Will the widget slow down my Carrd site?

No. Carrd sites are famously lightweight and the widget keeps them that way: it loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
