Revolutionizing Online Reservations
As the editor of Dine Magazine, people often ask me where they should go for dinner, what my favorite restaurant is or where they can go for a unique dining experience. I am a walking advertisement, or could be. Out of thousands of restaurants in the South Florida area, I can’t say there’s one that I always lean to, but I do always point people towards a website called Open Table. Open Table is an online reservation system. Whether you are in Miami, Milwaukee or Ontario, Canada, you can go to this site to search for a restaurant for that special night out. Just type in your city, date and time and you will learn what is available. They also give you top ten lists. So if you are looking for the most popular restaurant in the city, where you schedule a lunch for your grandmother’s 80th birthday or for a place to have Sunday Brunch, you will be guided in the right direction.
Search further and you will find more information about the restaurant: hours of operation, a phone number, a description of the restaurant, dress code and the executive chef. No surprises here. Better yet, every time you book a reservation through Open Table, you will collect points – 100 points is the usual reward, but sometimes you can earn up to 1000 points for your reservation. Dine out enough and you will a Dining Cheque to dine out at your favorite restaurant.
Open Table is available internationally, so wherever you may travel, you will be set. Happy Dining.

I use Open Table for reservations a lot, and am beginning to find that many restaurants here in Seattle use that as their sole reservation system.
I’ve used the “special requests” section of the booking form to request a favorite waiter, arrange birthday surprises, and a notation of other celebratory events, and found that the message is always conveyed and acted upon.
