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 Elementor?

The free way to put OpenTable reviews on an Elementor page — the official widget only books tables, and add-on packs skip OpenTable.

Shows Reviews the Official Widget Can't

OpenTable's own website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue is the free, drag-and-paste alternative that pulls reviews from your public OpenTable restaurant page automatically.

Free Elementor Is Enough

The HTML widget ships with free Elementor — no Pro license, no add-on widget pack, no third-party Elementor extension to buy.

Live Preview While You Build

The HTML widget renders the embed inside the editor canvas, so you design around your real OpenTable reviews instead of a gray placeholder.

Verified Diners, Real Stars

Every OpenTable review comes from a diner who honored a reservation, and ratings render as real 1–5 stars — your header rating is the OpenTable average, no conversion. No API key or restaurant-account access needed.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable in Elementor?

Takes less than a minute with the built-in HTML widget — free Elementor included.

Open the Page with Edit with Elementor

In your WordPress admin, open the page where you want OpenTable reviews and click Edit with Elementor.

Pages, posts, landing pages — and, with Pro, popups and Theme Builder templates — all work.

Drag the HTML Widget into a Section

In the widget panel on the left, search for "HTML" and drag the HTML widget into the section where the OpenTable reviews should render.

Avoid the Text Editor widget — it strips <script> tags on some setups and the embed silently disappears.

Paste the OpenTable Embed Code

Paste the BlooTrue OpenTable embed code into the HTML Code field. The live preview updates inside the editor canvas, so you can fine-tune the section around your real reviews.

Publish

Click Publish (or Update). Your OpenTable reviews are live — on free Elementor, with no API key, at $0.

Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours. Pro tip: a Theme Builder footer placement shows your reviews on every page.

OpenTable Review Widget for Elementor — Free, Works on Free Elementor

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Elementor is a free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any page built with Elementor. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never shows the reviews your diners leave. BlooTrue closes that gap with a single snippet pasted into Elementor's built-in HTML widget: search "HTML" in the widget panel, drag the widget into the section you want, paste the code, and watch the live preview render your real OpenTable reviews inside the editor canvas. Every review comes from a verified diner— someone who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation — so there are no drive-by reviews from people who never ate at your restaurant. Ratings display as real 1–5 stars, and the header rating is your OpenTable average, shown with no conversion. The HTML widget is part of free Elementor, so no Pro license is needed. Avoid the Text Editor widget — it strips script tags on some setups and the embed silently disappears. Pro users can place the same snippet inside Elementor popups and Theme Builder footers for sitewide placement. No OpenTable API key, no developer application, no restaurant-account access required — any public OpenTable restaurant page works. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes. 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 widget show reviews?

OpenTable's first-party widget is built for one job: booking tables. It embeds a reservation form, not your review stream — the verified-diner reviews that convince people to book stay locked on your OpenTable listing. For Elementor builders, third-party widgets like BlooTrue are the canonical way to surface OpenTable reviews on your own site — and the built-in HTML widget makes the install a drag-and-paste job.

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.

Does the OpenTable review widget work with free Elementor?

Yes. The HTML widget that hosts the embed ships with free Elementor — no Pro license, no add-on pack, no third-party extension. Search "HTML" in the widget panel, drag it into a section, and paste.

Does OpenTable offer its own Elementor reviews widget?

No. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. Elementor add-on packs rarely include OpenTable. BlooTrue is the free path.

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 access required. Just paste your full restaurant URL.

Why does my OpenTable embed not show up in Elementor?

Usually because it was pasted into the Text Editor widget, which strips <script> tags on some setups. Move the snippet into the HTML widget (search "HTML" in the widget panel) and it will render reliably.

Can I put OpenTable reviews in an Elementor popup or footer?

Yes. The embed works inside Elementor popups and in footers built with Theme Builder (both Pro features). A footer placement shows your OpenTable reviews on every page of the site.

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable widget free for Elementor?

Yes. Completely free — no recurring fee, unlimited widget views. The free plan shows your OpenTable reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Will the widget slow down my Elementor site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
