OpenTable is an online restaurant-reservation service company founded by Sid Gorham, Eric Moe and Chuck Templeton[3] on July 2, 1998 and is based in San Francisco, California.
In 1998, operations began with a limited selection of restaurants in San Francisco. Restaurants used the company's back-end software to process the reservations made on the website, resulting in a real-time reservation system for both diners and restaurants.[4] The service has since expanded to cover more than 55,000[5] restaurants in more than 80 countries as of 2024.[6] In June 2014, the company was acquired by Priceline Group for $2.6 billion.
Reservations are free to end users; the company charges restaurants flat monthly and per-reservation fees for their use of the system.[7] According to the company, it provides online reservations for more than 50,000 restaurants around the world and seats over 1 billion diners per year.[8]
