OpenTable Review Widget for Square Online — Free, Made for Restaurants

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Square Online is a free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any Square Online site. This may be the highest-affinity pairing in our catalog: Square Online is the free site builder bundled with Square POS — the platform fine-dining rooms, neighborhood bistros, cafés, and steakhouses build on — and OpenTable is where those restaurants earn their most trustworthy reviews, because every one comes from a verified diner who booked and honored a reservation. Yet there's a double gap: OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays reviews — and Square's App Marketplace has no OpenTable review-display app. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a pure HTML embed pasted into Square Online's standard Custom code section: open Square dashboard → Online → Website → Edit site, click + Add section, choose Custom code under More, paste, Publish. Custom code sections are supported on the Square Online free plan on most layouts. OpenTable is a native star platform, so the widget shows your real 1–5 star average straight from OpenTable — no conversion, no percentages. 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, which makes it eligible for star ratings in Google search results where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe.

How to embed OpenTable reviews on Square Online in 60 seconds

Paste your full OpenTable restaurant URL (https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) into the BlooTrue builder on this page.
Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
Publish, then copy the one-line HTML embed code from the builder.
In your Square dashboard: Online → Website → Edit site.
Click + Add section → More → Custom code, and paste the embed.
Click Publish — reviews are live immediately.

Why OpenTable + Square Online is the natural pairing

Square Online powers the websites of restaurants — from café counters to white-tablecloth dining rooms — and OpenTable holds the reviews diners trust most, because only guests who honored a reservation can leave one. Diners deciding to book a table check those reviews first. Embedding your OpenTable reviews next to your menu, online-ordering button, or reservation link keeps that verified-diner proof on YOUR site at the moment of decision — no detour to opentable.com where competing restaurants are one tap away — and it reinforces the OpenTable presence your regulars already know.

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

OpenTable's official website widget is built to do one thing: take reservations. It never displays your reviews — OpenTable keeps those on its own directory to drive bookings through its marketplace. There is no paste-ready OpenTable review embed the way Google publishes Place Cards, and Square's App Marketplace has no OpenTable display app. Third-party widgets like BlooTrue are the canonical way to surface OpenTable reviews on a Square Online site.

Why Use BlooTrue for OpenTable on Square Online?

Square restaurants earn verified-diner reviews on OpenTable — but OpenTable's widget only books tables and Square has no OpenTable app. BlooTrue is the free path.

OpenTable's Restaurants, Square's Site Builder

Fine-dining rooms, neighborhood bistros, cafés, and steakhouses run their reservations on OpenTable AND their websites on Square Online. Putting your OpenTable stars next to your menu or reservation button is the natural move.

Shows What the Official Widget Won't

OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews — and Square's App Marketplace has no OpenTable display app. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative.

Works on the Free Plan

Square Online supports Custom code sections on the free plan on most layouts. No plan upgrade, no Square App Marketplace install — paste and Publish.

No OpenTable API Key Required

Works with any public OpenTable restaurant page. No developer application, no API quotas, no restaurant-account login required — just your opentable.com/r/your-restaurant URL.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on Square Online?

Takes less than a minute. One section type: Custom code. Works on the free plan.

Open the Square Online Editor

Log into your Square dashboard and go to Online → Website. Click Edit site to open the editor on the page where you want reviews — the menu page, reservation page, or homepage all work.

Works on the Square Online free plan — no upgrade required.

Add a Custom Code Section

Click + Add section where you want the reviews, open the More category, and choose Custom code.

The Custom code section accepts raw HTML and JavaScript — exactly what the BlooTrue OpenTable embed is.

Paste the Embed Code

Paste the BlooTrue OpenTable embed code into the Custom code section's code box and confirm. The editor shows a placeholder while editing; the live widget renders on the published site.

Publish

Click Publish in the top-right of the editor. Your OpenTable reviews appear on the live site immediately.

Placement tip: put the widget right above your reservation button or online-ordering link — verified-diner proof at the exact moment a visitor decides to book is what converts browsers into covers.

Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours.

How BlooTrue Compares to Other OpenTable-on-Square-Online Options

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.

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable widget free for Square Online?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Square Online. No app install, no recurring fee, unlimited widget views. The free plan shows your OpenTable reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does OpenTable or Square offer an official OpenTable review embed for Square Online?

No on both counts. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. And Square's App Marketplace has no OpenTable review-display app. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a free embed pasted into a Custom code section.

Can I add it to a Square Online free plan?

Yes. Square Online supports Custom code sections on the free plan on most page layouts — no upgrade needed. Click + Add section → More → Custom code, paste, and Publish.

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. Just paste your full restaurant URL, like https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant.

I run a restaurant on Square — why embed OpenTable reviews?

Because OpenTable reviews carry proof no other platform matches: every one comes from a verified diner who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation. Diners deciding where to book check those reviews — putting your OpenTable stars next to your menu and reservation button keeps that proof on YOUR site at the moment of decision, instead of sending visitors to opentable.com where competing restaurants are one tap away.

Where is the Custom code section in the Square Online editor?

From your Square dashboard: Online → Website → Edit site. On the page you're editing, click + Add section, open the More category, and choose Custom code. Paste the embed into the code box and click Publish.

Will it slow my Square Online store?

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 — your ordering and checkout flows are untouched.
