The TruePine Restaurant Booking plugin for WordPress empowers restaurant owners to streamline their reservation process. Configure your restaurant’s booking policy, including seating capacity and availability. Guests can easily make online reservations through a user-friendly public form. The plugin intelligently assigns bookings to your database, providing administrators with comprehensive management options. You can easily view, confirm, or modify reservations directly from the backend. A key feature is the flexible time management: choose between a fixed two-turn booking system or allow customers to select their preferred reservation time dynamically. Both customers and administrators receive email notifications for new bookings. Additionally, administrators have the option to receive booking requests directly via WhatsApp for instant alerts. The attached screenshot showcases the multi-week view of the backend, offering a clear overview of upcoming reservations.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin utilizes external third-party services to provide certain functionalities. These services are detailed below:
<ol>
<li>
CallMeBot (for WhatsApp Notifications)
<ul>
<li>What it is and what it is used for: CallMeBot is an external third-party service that provides the functionality for sending WhatsApp messages. When enabled by the administrator, it allows the restaurant owner or manager to receive booking requests and confirmations directly on their WhatsApp number for instant alerts.</li>
<li>What data is sent and when: When enabled, your WordPress site sends the WhatsApp message content (booking details, customer name, date, time) to CallMeBot’s API for delivery. This data is sent only when an administrator opts to receive WhatsApp notifications for a new booking or update and only for administrator notifications.</li>

Google reCAPTCHA
<ul>
<li>What it is and what it is used for: Google reCAPTCHA is a free service from Google that helps protect your website from spam and abuse. It is used on the public booking form to verify that the user making a reservation is human and not a bot.</li>
<li>What data is sent and when: When the public booking form (where reCAPTCHA is active) is loaded and submitted, reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and sends it to Google for analysis. This occurs when a user interacts with the reCAPTCHA challenge or when the reCAPTCHA script loads on the booking form page. The collected information helps Google distinguish between humans and bots.</li>
