If guests visit your venue's website but can't book anything, you're losing revenue every single day. TablelistPro's booking widgets solve that — turning your existing site into a live sales channel in under 10 minutes, no developer required.
What is a widget?
A widget is a small snippet of code that adds booking functionality directly to your website. Once installed, your TablelistPro inventory — events, VIP tables, tickets, packages, and guest lists — appears automatically on your site and stays up to date in real time. Guests can browse upcoming events, pick a date, and complete a booking in a couple of clicks without ever leaving your website.
Everything syncs both ways. A table booked through your website is instantly reflected in TablelistPro, so your staff always has an accurate, live picture of availability. No double bookings, no manual updates, no end-of-night reconciliation headaches.
What does it actually do for your business?
Sell around the clock. Your website is live 24/7 — your widget means it's selling 24/7 too. Every event flyer, table listing, and ticket becomes a transaction, not just a piece of information. A guest who discovers your venue at midnight on a Tuesday can book a table for the weekend right then and there, without waiting for your box office to open or your staff to respond to a DM. Widgets are fully customizable to match your venue's branding so guests feel confident buying directly from you rather than through a third-party platform.
Cut hours of manual work. Think about how much time your team currently spends updating your website — adding event info, uploading flyers, adjusting availability, removing sold-out tables. With a TablelistPro widget, all of that happens automatically. Your inventory syncs directly from your TablelistPro account, so the moment you update an event, add a new package, or sell out a section, your website reflects it instantly. Most venues cut their weekly website management time in half within the first month.
Zero data entry. Every sale or reservation made through your widget flows directly into TablelistPro automatically — no copy-pasting, no manual input, no reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the night. Ticket sales, VIP table bookings, reservation requests, guest list signups — all of it lands in TablelistPro in real time, building your CRM and customer profiles automatically. By the time your doors open on Friday night, you already know exactly who's coming, what they booked, and what they've spent with you before.
Keep your marketing traffic. When you send guests to a third-party booking site, you risk losing them the moment they get there. Competing events, other venues, distracting listings — third-party platforms are designed to keep guests on their platform, not yours. With a widget on your own site, every dollar you spend on Instagram ads, email campaigns, or influencer promotions drives traffic straight to a checkout on your own turf. No detours, no distractions, no revenue leaking to a platform that doesn't have your best interests at heart.
Strengthen your chargeback protection. Every transaction processed through your widget runs through TablelistPro's built-in fraud detection system before it's confirmed. And because all booking data — payment details, guest information, confirmation timestamps — is automatically logged in TablelistPro, you have a complete, auditable paper trail for every sale. If a guest ever disputes a charge, you have everything you need to fight it.
Get more exposure on Tablelist. Venues with a TablelistPro widget get featured three times more often on Tablelist, which reaches over 150,000 partygoers across nine cities and has driven more than $20M in sales to venue partners. It's passive marketing that runs in the background while you focus on running your venue.
What types of inventory can I sell through a widget?
TablelistPro widgets support your full range of bookable inventory, including:
Each widget is fully customizable — you control the layout, colors, and which inventory types are displayed, so it feels like a natural extension of your website rather than a third-party embed.
How do I get started?
Setup takes less time than uploading a single event to your website manually. A member of your team can have the widget live in under 10 minutes with no technical background required.
