OpenTable’s Post

Imagine if OpenTable could personalize recommendations based on where you REALLY discover your favorite restaurants. OpenTable has been excellent for executing reservations. But there is so much potential for the app to be a true home to searching and discovering new, popular, and hidden gem restaurants specific to your vibe, ambiance, and budget. Most restaurants exist on OpenTable, but we discover them through other channels, like engaging content on Instagram (ex: our friends ate there or an awesome video reel of unique dishes). Could we exchange this data with OpenTable for categories and recommendations that consider our off-app interests? Could it look like this? With Crosshatch. It can. Would love to hear what you think Lily Samimi, Jack Paradis, Brian Le, and Carolann Neale!

OpenTable, an online restaurant reservation service, is setting an example with their "opt-out" option for Mother's Day. Impressed with the empathy and consideration for those who may find this day difficult. As someone who lost my mother last year, this gesture is greatly appreciated. This is an excellent example of win/win marketing, where a company can promote their brand while still being considerate to their customers' emotions. Kudos to OpenTable for their kindness and empathy. #marketing #Mother'sDay #Restaurants #publicrelations

Independent #restaurant operators, your digital storefront is just as crucial as your physical one. Every online listing—Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Apple Maps—is a door to your restaurant. If they’re outdated, it’s like locking those doors, missing out on digital foot traffic that could be converting into orders. Whether you’re trying to drive more orders from existing customers or attract new ones, ensuring these digital doors are open is the first step. Dive into why this matters: https://bit.ly/3WTCf0j

It also provides a pretty clear indication of what your team is made of 💪 Today at OpenTable we announced not one but two major initiatives including the Visa Dining Collection and Icons. A couple learnings along the way: 🎯 Aim big. You'll probably stumble a couple times along the way but the end result will be worth it. 🔍 Focused and aligned teams can move at unprecedented speeds. 🌟 Most projects can be completed with efficient project management.

I'm proud of our entire team for bringing this reality to life and excited for everything else we have cooking! #justthebeginning
