About OpenTable

Trivial things in life could at times make a huge impact on us. And this impact could change our life and lifestyle!

Is this what we call the “Butterfly Effect”?

If that’s what it is, one such Butterfly effect on Chuck Templeton led him to invent OpenTable in 1998. It was the great era where people used to make dinner reservations by phone. And Chuck Templeton, observing the difficulties his wife was facing while trying to book a dinner reservation by phone, ended up with the idea of OpenTable!

OpenTable, started as a website offering real-time reservations to diners and restaurants of San Francisco who signed up with them, is now the world’s leading provider of online restaurant reservations. 

With mobile technology and time, more apps like Yelp, Allset, BigDish, Tock are doing great and better than OpenTable but that has never stopped OpenTable from expanding their business worldwide and earning better names among people. 

Why build an app like OpenTable?

First of its kind!

When OpenTable was started as a website platform in 1998, they were the creators and leaders. They ruled in a monopoly market and to top that they managed to spread their services around the globe (80 plus countries), with an immense level of satisfactory reviews from the customers. 

According to data from OpenTable’s fourth quarter of 2019, OpenTable received more than 1.3 million restaurant reviews each month from their diners.

According to SimilarWeb, total visits to OpenTable, even at the time of COVID restrictions, was 10.46 Million, in the last 6 months of 2020 (July – December).
