Reservations Made Easy Through OpenTable

OpenTable is a site that I have used specifically for my restaurant clientele. I have never had any problems with the site and it has done wonders for the restaurants. To try to build a restaurant reservation service on your site would take many long hours and tons of coding – too much work when you can use a site like OpenTable.

OpenTable, which started in 1998, is a site that allows people to easily make reservations 24 hours a day in real-time, read restaurant reviews, as well as earn points towards free meals.  The best part about OpenTable is that any restaurant can join! And anyone can use it!

Benefits of joining OpenTable for your restaurant:


  • Over 300 seats are filled each month through OpenTable

  • Only 12 incremental seats are needed to be filled by the restaurant in order to recover the cost of OpenTable

  • Saves your restaurant time

  • Attracts repeat business with email marketing

  • Gain more exposure from hundreds of partners, including Google, Menupages, TripAdvisor, Yahoo!, Yelp, Zagat as well as local guides and restaurant directories throughout North America and the United Kingdom.

  • More than 20,000 restaurants have joined the OpenTable Network

  • OpenTable has seated more than 200 MILLION guests

  • Reduces no-shows

  • Social media capabilities. Users are able to "like" your restaurant on the OpenTable site, which in turn is posted to the users Facebook (free advertising!)

In Georgia alone, 42 cities have started using the network with over hundreds of restaurants taking advantage of this amazing tool. So I would say if you haven't already, it's definitely time to get on board!
