OpenTable

Restaurant booking service

OpenTable is an online restaurant reservation service that lets diners book tables through a website or app.

Restaurants use it to manage seating and reduce no-shows.

The name has become somewhat generic for digital reservations: Let me check OpenTable for availability.

It also functions as a verb: I OpenTabled us a spot for eight o'clock.
