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 Magento?

The only free way to put OpenTable reviews on a Magento storefront — OpenTable's widget only books tables, and the Marketplace has no OpenTable extension.

Shows What OpenTable's Widget Won't

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

Fills the Marketplace Gap Too

The Magento Marketplace has no meaningful OpenTable review extension — and an extension would mean composer installs and upgrade re-validation anyway. BlooTrue is CMS content: zero code deployed.

Place It Anywhere via CMS Static Block

Content → Widgets → CMS Static Block drops the widget into any layout position — homepage, gift-card and merch category pages, footer — without writing layout XML.

Verified Diners, No API Key

Works with any public OpenTable restaurant page. Every review comes from a diner who honored a reservation — and you need no OpenTable API key, developer application, or restaurant-account access.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on Magento?

Four steps: create the block, paste the HTML, place it, flush the cache.

Open Content → Blocks (or Pages) in the Magento Admin

Log into your Magento / Adobe Commerce admin and open Content → Blocks. Click Add New Block for a reusable block — or open Content → Pages and edit a CMS page if you only need the widget on one page.

Works identically on Magento 2.x Open Source and Adobe Commerce, including Adobe Commerce Cloud.

Paste the Embed as Raw HTML

In the content editor, click Show / Hide Editor to switch the WYSIWYG into raw-HTML mode, then paste the BlooTrue OpenTable embed code.

Using Page Builder? Drag an HTML Code element into your layout, click its Edit (gear) button, and paste the embed there instead.

Place the Block via Content → Widgets

For CMS Blocks: open Content → Widgets, click Add Widget, choose type CMS Static Block, pick your theme, and assign the block to a layout position — for example Main Content Bottom on the homepage or a category-page sidebar.

CMS Pages skip this step — they publish directly when you click Save.

Flush the Cache (Do Not Skip This)

Open System → Cache Management and flush the invalidated cache types — or run bin/magento cache:flush. Magento's full-page cache keeps serving the pre-widget version of the page until you do. Purge Varnish / Fastly too if they front the store.

One-time step. Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours afterward — no further flushes needed.

OpenTable Review Widget for Magento — Free, the Only Practical Path

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Magento is a free, extension-free embed that displays your OpenTable diner reviews on any Magento 2.x or Adobe Commerce storefront. There's a double gap to bridge: OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews or star rating — and the Magento Marketplace has no meaningful OpenTable review extension either. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a pure HTML embed pasted into a CMS Block or CMS Page via the Show / Hide Editor raw-HTML toggle, or a Page Builder HTML Code element. Blocks slot into any layout position through Content → Widgets → CMS Static Block — homepage, category pages, footer. No composer install, no deploy, nothing to re-validate on the next Magento upgrade, and it works on Adobe Commerce Cloud out of the box. The one Magento-only step: flush the full-page cache afterward via System → Cache Management, or the cached page keeps serving the pre-widget version. Restaurants and restaurant groups run Magento for gift cards, merch, sauces, and meal kits — storefronts where OpenTable's verified-diner reviews (every reviewer booked and honored a reservation) are the strongest trust signal a food brand can show, which makes the pairing unusually effective. The widget shows real 1–5 star ratings, and the header rating is your live OpenTable average — no conversion, no percentages. 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 own widget show reviews?

OpenTable's first-party website widget is built to do one thing: take reservations. It never renders your reviews or star rating, because OpenTable keeps that social proof on its own directory pages. OpenTable does not publish a paste-ready review embed the way Google publishes Place Cards. For Magento stores the gap is doubled — the Magento Marketplace has no meaningful OpenTable review extension. Third-party widgets like BlooTrue are the canonical way to surface OpenTable diner reviews on a Magento storefront.

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.

Doesn't OpenTable already have an official widget for Magento?

OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews or star rating. And the Magento Marketplace has no meaningful OpenTable review extension either. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a free HTML embed pasted into a CMS Block or Page Builder element.

Do I need a Magento extension to display OpenTable reviews?

No. BlooTrue is a pure HTML embed pasted into a CMS Block or CMS Page — no Marketplace extension, no composer require, no setup:upgrade, no deploy. The embed lives in CMS content in your database, so it survives Magento upgrades and Adobe Commerce Cloud deploys untouched.

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 opentable.com/r/your-restaurant URL.

Does this work on Adobe Commerce and Adobe Commerce Cloud?

Yes. Adobe Commerce shares the same admin — Content → Blocks, Pages, Page Builder, and Widgets all work identically. On Adobe Commerce Cloud there is nothing extra to deploy: the embed is CMS content stored in the database.

I saved the block but the OpenTable widget isn't showing — why?

Almost always Magento's full-page cache. Open System → Cache Management and flush the invalidated caches (or run bin/magento cache:flush). Purge Varnish / Fastly too if they front the store. One-time step — new reviews sync through the embed script, no further flushes needed.

Where exactly do I paste the embed code in the Magento admin?

Classic WYSIWYG: Content → Blocks (or Pages), click Show / Hide Editor to switch to raw HTML, and paste. Page Builder: drag an HTML Code element into your layout and paste there. For blocks, finish via Content → Widgets → CMS Static Block to assign a layout position.

Will the widget slow down my Magento store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, reviews are served from a CDN cache, and it adds zero PHP execution to your server — full-page-cached pages stay fully cacheable. Typical LCP impact is under 50ms.
