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 OpenTable 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

How to Add OpenTable Reviews to Softr

One embed code, pasted into the Custom Code block (Blocks → Static). Custom code requires the Softr Basic plan or above.

  1. 1

    Open your app in the Softr Studio.

  2. 2

    Add a block: Blocks → Static → Custom code, placed where the reviews should appear.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the block.

  4. 4

    Publish — the widget renders on the live app.

Softr's Custom code block is available on the Basic plan and above — free workspaces won't render it.

Where the Code Goes on Softr

In Softr you add the embed through a Custom code block from the Static section of the Studio's block picker. The block is a full-width section that stacks between your other blocks, and the reviews take that section's width and whatever height they need. The Studio canvas is a working preview of the app, but the published app is where you should confirm the widget, since nothing reaches visitors until you click Publish. Softr blocks can be shown or hidden per user group, so a block placed on a logged-in page follows that page's visibility rules.

If the widget does not show on Softr

  • If the Custom code block renders nothing on your published Softr app, check the workspace plan first; free workspaces do not run custom code blocks.
  • Widget visible in the Studio but not for a visitor? Click Publish, then check the block's visibility settings, which can restrict it to certain user groups.
  • The block picker files Custom code under Static, not under the dynamic list blocks; if you cannot find it, open Blocks, then Static, and scroll.

OpenTable Review Widget for Softr — Free, No Plugin

Embed OpenTable reviews on any Softr page with a single copy-paste embed code. Verified-diner proof from OpenTable, on the site where guests decide to book. Installs via the Custom Code block (Blocks → Static). Custom code requires the Softr Basic plan or above.

Where OpenTable reviews help most on Softr

Restaurant groups with a custom site usually run several locations from one codebase. Each location page should carry the OpenTable widget for that location, not one widget for the whole group, because diners choose a specific room on a specific night and reviews for the other branch tell them nothing. Place it next to the reservation module and above the menu. On a group landing page that lists every location, a compact badge on each location card works better than one full widget. Size its container to the reservation panel so the two line up, and render it on location pages only, not across the whole site.

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.

OpenTable Widget on Softr — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable review widget free for Softr?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed OpenTable reviews on Softr. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on Softr?
Open your app in the Softr Studio. Add a block: Blocks → Static → Custom code, placed where the reviews should appear. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the block. Publish — the widget renders on the live app. Custom code requires the Softr Basic plan or above.
Anything specific to Softr worth knowing before I embed?
Softr's Custom code block is available on the Basic plan and above — free workspaces won't render it.
Where should I place OpenTable reviews on Softr for the biggest lift?
Softr client portals and directories earn trust fast with third-party stars on the landing block, right above the sign-up CTA.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your OpenTable reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Softr again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
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.
