Turn a restaurant reservation email into a calendar event

OpenTable and Resy confirmations have everything you need - the date, the time, the party size and the address - scattered between a map, a cancellation policy and an upsell. Paste the email below and watch the AI turn your reservation into a ready-to-add calendar event.

What the AI will produce from the sample:

  • Dinner at Bavette's Steakhouse (Party of 4) — Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 7:30 PM

How it works

  1. Copy the reservation confirmation

    Select the whole email from OpenTable, Resy, Yelp or the restaurant itself - the date, time, party size, address and cancellation policy. You don't need to clean anything up; the AI ignores the noise.

  2. Paste it into the demo (or highlight it with the extension)

    With the Chrome extension installed, you can skip the paste: highlight the text in Gmail or Outlook, right-click, and choose Text to Calendar.

  3. Add the reservation to your calendar in one click

    The reservation becomes an event with the restaurant name, party size, address and confirmation number in the details. Add it to Google Calendar, Outlook, or download an .ics file.

Why reservation emails are easy to lose

A restaurant confirmation lands in your inbox days or weeks before the meal, then sinks under newer mail. By Saturday night you're searching "OpenTable" to remember whether the table was at 7:00 or 7:30, and which location of the restaurant you booked. The one thing that would fix this - a calendar event - is the one thing the email doesn't create for you.

Text to Calendar's AI reads the confirmation the way you do: it finds the date and time, the party size, the restaurant name and the full street address, and writes them into a single event so your phone reminds you before you need to leave.

Date, time and party size, parsed correctly

The parser pulls the exact reservation time and keeps the party size in the title, so "Dinner at Bavette's Steakhouse (Party of 4)" shows at a glance. The street address goes into the location field, which means one tap opens directions in Google Maps or Apple Maps from your calendar.

Works with OpenTable, Resy, Yelp and direct bookings

OpenTable, Resy, Tock, Yelp Reservations, or a plain confirmation typed by the restaurant - if a human can read the date and time, the AI can too. Booking dinner and a show on the same night? Paste both confirmations at once and you'll get one event for each, so a reminder fires before the reservation and again before curtain.

Timezones for travel dinners

Reserving a table in another city before you fly out? The event uses the timezone you choose, so a 7:30 PM dinner shows as 7:30 PM in that city - not shifted by your home timezone.

Tips for best results

  • Include the whole email rather than a fragment - the confirmation number and address are usually near the bottom.
  • Booking dinner and drinks separately? Paste both at once for one event each.
  • Want a heads-up to leave on time? Add "set a reminder 45 minutes before" and the AI will build it in.

Frequently asked questions

Does it add the restaurant address to the calendar event?

Yes. The street address goes into the event's location field, so you can tap it in Google Calendar or Outlook to open directions in your maps app.

Can it add the party size and confirmation number?

Yes - the party size goes into the event title and the confirmation number is saved in the event details, so everything the restaurant needs is on your phone when you arrive.

What if I'm booking a table in a different city?

Set the timezone for the event and the reservation time stays correct for that city, so a 7:30 PM dinner doesn't shift to your home timezone.

Never miss a reservation again

Install the free extension, highlight any OpenTable or Resy email, and your dinner is on your calendar before you've closed the tab.
