Diners can book from any browser, and restaurant staff can manage reservations on a computer.

A prompt to build your own version of OpenTable

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your OpenTable-style app, first version

Build a website for diners to find restaurants and reserve tables. The main screen should show realistic sample restaurants with photos, cuisine, neighborhood, and a search field. Tapping a restaurant opens its details with a date picker, party size selector, and available booking times. Tapping a time opens a short form for the diner's name and email, then shows a clear reservation confirmation. Add a My Bookings page where diners can view and cancel their sample reservations. Use sample data and simulated bookings for now, with no outside integrations. Make it mobile-friendly with a clean white background, dark text, warm red accents, and large, easy-to-tap buttons.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade OpenTable won't have

OpenTable connects diners to restaurants already accepting its bookings, backed by restaurant system integrations and reviews from verified diners.

  • Participating restaurant network
  • Established diner audience
  • Approved restaurant system integrations
  • Verified diner review history
