# Restaurant Booking Brief Prompt for a Helper

A reusable prompt that turns your notes into a restaurant booking brief with constraints, a booking script, fallbacks and a confirm-back checklist.

## Start here

Paste your own rough notes into any ordinary AI chat that accepts text. The prompt is the full text appended below; copy it as-is, then add your notes after the line about what you will paste.

Minimum inputs to include: city or neighborhood, date and arrival-time window, number of people, dietary constraints and who they apply to, budget signal, and contact preference. Write "not sure" where you genuinely do not know rather than guessing.

What you get back: a one-sentence goal, a constraints table, a short venue brief, a booking script, fallback options, a confirm-back checklist, your own decisions before booking, and open questions.

How to check the output: every allergy must appear as must-have and be phrased as a question to the venue; the script must include both the preferred and fallback time windows; nothing invented such as venue names, phone numbers, prices or opening hours should appear; missing items must be labelled MISSING. If any of these fail, ask the assistant to correct that point.

## Introduction

Booking a table through someone else usually fails on small details: the allergy gets softened into a preference, the fallback time is dropped, or nobody confirms the cancellation rule. This prompt does not book anything. It converts your notes into a consistent brief, a script a helper can adapt, and a checklist you can verify against the confirmation. It suits a friend calling on your behalf or an assistant you delegate the first contact to.

## Prerequisites, permissions and limits

You need a chat tool that accepts long text pastes, and you need to be willing to read the output carefully. There is no install step and no terminal or API work.

The prompt itself performs no calls, messages, browsing, account access or scheduling. Anyone telling you the pasted text booked a table is wrong. You keep the decisions: approving venue, time and deposit, providing payment, and confirming allergy wording. The tool may not know local availability, prices or policies, and it is told not to invent them.

Privacy: your notes may contain names, phone numbers, a home area and health details such as allergies. Share only what the helper needs, and remember the copied text also leaves your notes in the chat history.

source reviewed; runtime not tested

## FAQ

**Can I paste incomplete notes?** Yes. The prompt is designed for that: unknown critical items should come back labelled MISSING and as open questions, and vague constraints should trigger one clarifying question with a safe default.

**Does this place the booking for me?** No. It produces preparation material only. A person or an assistant still performs the call, message or online booking and returns the confirmation details for your review.

## Complete reusable prompt

You are helping me prepare a restaurant table booking brief that I can hand to a person or an assistant. You do not make bookings, place calls, send messages, browse, or access any account. You only turn my notes into a clear, consistent delegation brief and flag missing or risky information.

INPUT I WILL PASTE
Provide the following, using "not sure" where unknown:
- City or neighborhood and any preferred area
- Date and acceptable arrival-time window, plus an earlier/later fallback window
- Number of people, including children or older guests
- Seating preference and accessibility needs
- Dietary constraints: allergies, intolerances, religious or ethical restrictions, and who they apply to
- Budget signal: cheap, mid-range, or special occasion, and whether a card deposit is acceptable
- Cuisine or venue preferences, likes, and hard dislikes
- Occasion and tone, for example quiet birthday dinner or casual catch-up
- Language needed for the booking conversation
- Whether I want counter/bar seating, outdoor seating, or a private area
- Contact preference: I will call, I will book online, or a helper handles first contact
- Deadline by which the booking must exist

YOUR TASK
1. Restate my booking goal in one sentence as a request to a helper, not as a command to book.
2. Build a constraints table with three columns: Need, Must-have or nice-to-have, and Consequence if unmet. Mark any allergy as must-have.
3. Create a short preferred-venue brief I can paste into a search or read aloud, containing area, cuisine, party size, timing window, dietary needs, budget signal, and occasion.
4. Write a booking script the helper can adapt for a phone call or message. Include: greet, state date, time window with fallback, party size, dietary needs as questions, seating or accessibility request, budget or deposit question, and a closing line asking for confirmation details.
5. List fallback options if the first choice is unavailable: same cuisine nearby, later time, smaller or split table, different day, or a different venue type that fits the same constraints.
6. List exact information the helper must confirm back to me: venue name, address, date, time, party size, any deposit or cancellation rules, allergy handling, seating, and the booking reference.
7. List what I must personally decide or do before any booking proceeds: approve venue, approve time, approve deposit, provide payment, and confirm any allergy wording.

OUTPUT FORMAT
Use Markdown with these headings: Goal; Constraints Table; Preferred-Venue Brief; Booking Script; Fallbacks; Confirm-Back Checklist; My Decisions Before Booking; Open Questions.
Keep the total under one page where possible. Use plain language and short lines.

UNCERTAINTY AND MISSING INPUT
If a critical item is missing, write "MISSING" next to it and continue with what is known. Do not invent a venue, phone number, price, availability, opening hours, or allergy policy. If a constraint is vague, such as "vegetarian-ish", ask one clarifying question and give a safe default interpretation. Never soften an allergy into a preference.

WORKED EXAMPLE
Input: "2 people, Saturday around 7pm, one shellfish allergy, mid-range Thai or Japanese, quiet enough to talk, I can book online but a friend may call instead, neighborhood near the river, deposit under $40 is fine."
Possible output shape:
- Goal: Ask a helper to find and hold a quiet mid-range Thai or Japanese table for two on Saturday near the river, arriving about 7pm, with a shellfish allergy clearly communicated.
- Constraints Table: Shellfish allergy | Must-have | Cannot book if the kitchen cannot confirm handling. Quiet table | Nice-to-have | May accept an earlier time at a quieter venue. Deposit under $40 | Must-have | Choose another venue if higher.
- Preferred-Venue Brief: Quiet mid-range Thai or Japanese, two people, Saturday 7:00pm, fallback 6:30pm or 7:30pm, shellfish allergy, riverside area, deposit under $40.
- Booking Script: Hello, I would like a table for two on Saturday at 7:00pm, or 6:30pm if that is not available. One guest has a shellfish allergy. Can you confirm the kitchen can handle that? We would prefer a quiet table. Is there a deposit, and is it under $40? Please confirm date, time, address, and any cancellation rule.
- Fallbacks: another Thai or Japanese place within walking distance, 6:30pm or later window, counter seating if quiet, Sunday lunch, or a different quiet cuisine that can handle the allergy.
- Confirm-Back Checklist: venue name, address, date, time, party size, allergy handling, seating, deposit and cancellation rules, booking reference.
- My Decisions Before Booking: approve venue, approve time, approve deposit, provide payment if needed, confirm allergy wording.
- Open Questions: exact neighborhood, whether outdoor seating is acceptable, whether the friend will call or I will book online.

REVIEW CHECKS BEFORE I SEND ANYTHING
1. Does every allergy appear as must-have and is it stated as a question to the venue, not assumed handled?
2. Does the booking script include both the preferred and fallback time windows?
3. Did you invent any venue, price, opening hour, or availability? If yes, remove it.
4. Does the brief state that I approve venue, time, and deposit before any booking proceeds?
5. Is the confirm-back checklist specific enough that I can verify the booking without calling again?
6. Are missing items labelled MISSING rather than guessed?

BOUNDARIES
Do not claim to have called, messaged, reserved, or checked availability. Do not write in a way that implies the pasted text can access an account, browse, send, or schedule. This is preparation for delegation, not execution. A helper or I must perform any call, message, or booking and return the confirmation details for review.

# 交给助手用的餐厅订位委托简报提示词

一条可复用提示词，把你的零散笔记整理成餐厅订位简报，包含约束表、订位话术、备选方案和确认清单，交由他人或助手执行。

## 开始使用

把你自己的粗略笔记粘贴进任何普通的、能接受文字的 AI 聊天窗口。提示词就是下面附上的完整文本，原样复制，然后在你将要粘贴的内容那一行后面加上你的笔记。

至少需要提供：城市或街区、日期和到达时间窗、人数、饮食限制以及适用于谁、预算档位、联系方式偏好。确实不知道的地方就写“不确定”，不要猜。

你会得到：一句话目标、约束表、简短的餐厅说明、订位话术、备选方案、确认清单、需要你自己做的决定，以及待确认问题。

如何检查输出：每一条过敏都必须列为必须满足项，并且以向餐厅提问的方式写出；话术必须同时包含首选和备选时间窗；不应出现编造的餐厅名、电话、价格或营业时间；缺失项必须标注 MISSING。任何一条不符合，就要求助手只修正那一处。

## 简介

让别人替你订位，往往坏在小细节上：过敏被淡化成偏好、备选时间被丢掉、没人确认取消规则。这条提示词不订任何位置。它把你的笔记变成一份口径一致的简报、一段助手可以直接改写的订位话术，以及一份你可以拿来核对确认信息的清单。它适合朋友替你打电话，也适合你把初次联系交给助手。

## 前提、权限与限制

你需要一个能粘贴长文本的聊天工具，并且愿意认真读完输出。不需要安装，不需要终端或 API 操作。

提示词本身不打任何电话、不发消息、不浏览、不访问账号、也不安排日程。如果有人告诉你这段粘贴的文本已经把位子订好了，那是错的。决定权在你手上：确认餐厅、时间、押金，完成付款，并确认过敏相关的表述。工具可能不了解当地的可订情况、价格或政策，提示词也明确要求它不要编造这些内容。

隐私：你的笔记可能包含姓名、电话、居住区域和过敏等健康信息。只提供助手真正需要的内容，并记住这段文字也会留在聊天记录里。

source reviewed; runtime not tested（来源已审阅；未做运行时测试）

## 常见问题

**笔记不完整可以粘贴吗？** 可以。提示词就是为此设计的：关键项未知时应返回 MISSING 并列入待确认问题，模糊的约束应触发一个澄清问题并给出安全默认解释。

**它能替我把位子订好吗？** 不能。它只产出准备材料。电话、消息或线上预订仍由某个人或助手完成，并把确认信息交回给你核对。

## 来源与致谢

TokRepo 原创提示词，任务：为带饮食限制和备选方案的餐厅订位撰写委托简报。采用 CC BY 4.0 许可。背景参考：[ChatGPT release notes](<https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453-chatgpt-release-notes>)。完整提示词与参考链接见下方附录。

## 完整可复制提示词

你正在帮我准备一份餐厅订位简报，我可以把它交给某个人或助手。你不负责订位、打电话、发消息、浏览网页，也不访问任何账户。你只把我的笔记转换为一份清晰、口径一致的委托简报，并标出缺失或有风险的信息。

我将粘贴的输入
请提供以下内容，未知处写“不确定”：
- 城市或街区，以及任何偏好的区域
- 日期和可接受的到达时间窗，以及更早/更晚的备选时间窗
- 人数，包括儿童或年长客人
- 座位偏好和无障碍需求
- 饮食限制：过敏、不耐受、宗教或伦理限制，以及它们适用于谁
- 预算档位：便宜、中档或特殊场合，以及是否可以接受信用卡押金
- 菜系或餐厅偏好、喜欢什么、坚决不喜欢什么
- 场合和氛围，例如安静的生日晚餐或随意的聚会
- 订位沟通所需的语言
- 我是否想要吧台座位、户外座位或私密区域
- 联系方式偏好：我来打电话、我来在线预订，或由助手负责首次联系
- 必须完成订位的截止时间

你的任务
1. 用一句话复述我的订位目标，写成对助手的请求，而不是要求去订位的命令。
2. 制作一张约束表，含三列：需求、必须满足还是最好满足、未满足的后果。把任何过敏标为必须满足。
3. 创建一段简短的首选餐厅说明，我可以粘贴到搜索框或读出来，内容包含区域、菜系、用餐人数、时间窗、饮食需求、预算档位和场合。
4. 写一段订位话术，助手可以改编用于电话或消息。包含：问候、说明日期、带备选的时间窗、用餐人数、以提问方式表达饮食需求、座位或无障碍请求、预算或押金问题，以及一句请求确认信息的结尾。
5. 列出首选不可用时的备选方案：附近同菜系、更晚的时间、更小或分开的餐桌、改天，或符合相同约束的不同类型餐厅。
6. 列出助手必须回报给我确认的确切信息：餐厅名称、地址、日期、时间、用餐人数、任何押金或取消规则、过敏处理、座位，以及订位参考号。
7. 列出在任何订位推进之前我必须亲自决定或做的事：确认餐厅、确认时间、确认押金、提供付款方式，以及确认任何过敏相关的表述。

输出格式
使用 Markdown，并包含以下标题：Goal；Constraints Table；Preferred-Venue Brief；Booking Script；Fallbacks；Confirm-Back Checklist；My Decisions Before Booking；Open Questions。
尽可能保持总长度在一页以内。使用平实语言和短句。

不确定与缺失输入
如果关键项缺失，就在该项旁写“MISSING”并用已知内容继续。不要编造餐厅、电话号码、价格、可订情况、营业时间或过敏政策。如果某项约束含糊，例如“偏素食”，问一个澄清问题并给出安全的默认解释。绝不要把过敏淡化成偏好。

示例
输入：“2 人，周六晚上 7 点左右，一人对贝类过敏，中档泰餐或日餐，安静到能说话，我可以在线预订，但朋友也可能替我打电话，靠近河边的街区，40 美元以内的押金可以接受。”
可能的输出形态：
- Goal：请助手在河边附近找一家安静的中档泰餐或日餐厅，为两人在周六晚上 7 点左右保留一张餐桌，并清楚传达贝类过敏。
- Constraints Table：贝类过敏 | 必须满足 | 如果厨房无法确认处理方式就不能预订。安静的餐桌 | 最好满足 | 可以接受在更安静的餐厅提早一些的时间。40 美元以内的押金 | 必须满足 | 如果更高就换一家餐厅。
- Preferred-Venue Brief：安静的中档泰餐或日餐，两人，周六晚上 7:00，备选 6:30 或 7:30，贝类过敏，河畔区域，押金 40 美元以内。
- Booking Script：你好，我想要一张周六晚上 7:00 的两人餐桌，如果没有的话 6:30 也可以。一位客人对贝类过敏。你们能确认厨房可以处理吗？我们更想要安静的餐桌。需要押金吗，是否在 40 美元以内？请确认日期、时间、地址以及任何取消规则。
- Fallbacks：步行距离内另一家泰餐或日餐厅，6:30 或更晚的时间窗，如果安静的话吧台座位，周日午餐，或另一家能处理该过敏的安静菜系。
- Confirm-Back Checklist：餐厅名称、地址、日期、时间、用餐人数、过敏处理、座位、押金和取消规则、订位参考号。
- My Decisions Before Booking：确认餐厅、确认时间、确认押金、如有需要提供付款方式、确认过敏相关的表述。
- Open Questions：确切的街区、是否可以接受户外座位、朋友是否会打电话或我是否会在线预订。

发送任何内容前，先检查以下几点
1.  每条过敏是否都作为必须满足项出现，并且是以向餐厅提问的方式陈述，而不是假定已经处理好了？
2.  订位话术是否同时包含首选和备选时间窗？
3.  你是否编造了任何餐厅、价格、营业时间或可订情况？如果编造了，请删除。
4.  简报中是否写明，在任何订位进行之前，由我确认餐厅、时间和押金？
5.  确认清单是否足够具体，让我无需再次打电话就能核对预订？
6.  缺失项是否标注为 MISSING，而不是靠猜？

边界
不要声称已经打过电话、发过消息、预订过或查过可订情况。不要以暗示这段粘贴的文本能够访问账号、浏览、发送或安排日程的方式写作。这是为委托做准备，不是执行。任何电话、消息或预订都必须由助手或我本人完成，并把确认信息交回核对。
