OpenTable connects diners with a variety of restaurants through its online reservation service. Users can browse restaurants, read reviews, view menus, and make reservations easily on the platform. Diners can access this service for free, while restaurants pay a subscription fee to be listed and may incur additional charges based on reservations made through OpenTable. This model allows OpenTable to generate revenue from both subscription fees and per-reservation charges. Unlike many competitors, OpenTable not only facilitates reservations but also provides restaurants with tools to manage bookings and optimize seating. The goal of OpenTable is to enhance the dining experience for users while helping restaurants grow their business.
