People & Restaurants | The Two Sides of the Coin

E-Reservation Book 

The electronic reservation book is a computer terminal which comes with a software that allows online reservations, helps the Restaurateurs to manage their business, seating arrangements, staff assignments, and maintain a record and take notes like information on frequent customers.

The restaurants pay a one-time fee for installation and training costs apart from the monthly subscription fee.

OpenTable Book 

Connect is the feature that is purely a web-based system that enables restaurants to accept online reservations using OpenTable. There are basically two programs in which the restaurants are connected with the platform:

The Feature Program

The member restaurants can pay some extra fees for getting featured on the OpenTable platform.When the restaurant opts to be featured as a ‘1000-point’ restaurant, which rewards diners with extra reward points for making reservations at certain times, OpenTable receives more per diner, approx. $7.50

The Spotlight Program

With the Spotlight program, OpenTable sells discount restaurant coupons to consumers. The revenues from coupon sales are split between the restaurant and OpenTable.
