OpenTable connects diners with a variety of restaurants through its online reservation service. Users can browse different dining options, read reviews, view menus, and make reservations easily. The platform is free for diners, allowing them to find and book tables at their favorite restaurants. Restaurants benefit from OpenTable by paying a subscription fee to be listed and may incur additional charges based on the number of reservations made. This dual revenue model provides a steady income for OpenTable, which is part of Booking Holdings, giving it a strong market presence. The goal of OpenTable is to enhance the dining experience for users while helping restaurants manage bookings and optimize their seating capacity.
