OpenTable is an app developed by OpenTable, Inc. to help users make restaurant reservations. Users can query nearby restaurants by geographic location on OpenTable and reserve seats for free. With this app, users can stagger the peak dining period, avoid waiting for a table, and get a better dining experience.
Next, the main functions of OpenTable include reservation, multi-dimensional restaurant recommendation and points system. Among them, seat reservation is the main problem solved by Opentable, and users can make reservations in the time dimension and the number of people for any restaurant. Each restaurant in the app will list the latest available time after the current time. The reservation times of different restaurants are basically the same, and the interval between different reservation times is not too large. It is worth mentioning that the app does not display the upper limit of the number of people reserved, but when there are no seats left at a certain time, the reservation time is no longer displayed.
In addition, the order page of OpenTable contains not only order information, but also maps, ride-hailing services, and restaurant menus. The elements of the page are concise, and the information provided is centered on the needs after the reservation. View and change the reservation information, location and the menu, and there are no redundant functions.
