Introducing Now Serving, OpenTable’s new quarterly webinar series with data, insights, and solutions to help your restaurant thrive. We’ll tap into our unique data and diner trends, while giving you solutions and practical advice on how to unlock new sources of revenue.

In June, online bookings were 42% higher than pre-COVID in 2019, even as staffing shortages continue to challenge many operators. With increased business and fewer workers, technology and actionable data are more important than ever to help restaurants stay nimble and maximize revenue.

  • Technology and tools to make your business more efficient, especially in the face of ongoing staffing shortages
