OpenTable Feature Drop: October 2023

Dig into the latest and greatest updates

This month’s drop is filled with features that give you more control over how you pack your house.

SMART ASSIGN

Introducing Smart Assign

You may already know that OpenTable rearranges your reservations when things change, like when party sizes get bigger or guests cancel. With the new Smart Assign, you can fine tune these arrangements, letting the system automatically fill seats while giving you more control over which tables are assigned to regulars or VIPs.

NOTIFY ME

More ways to fill last minute openings

Guests who set a Notify Me now show up in your Reservation waitlist, giving you more ways to cover last minute cancellations or no-shows with guests who really want to dine with you.

GUEST TAGS

Access Rules, meet Guest Tags

Now you can create Access Rules associated with guest tags, allowing you to prioritize tables for specific guests and offer them exclusive, direct access.

Communications made more efficient

Everything in one place

See every reservation update, SMS, confirmation and reminder (now including read receipts!) within your direct messages so you have the full context when reaching out to guests.

Quick SMS reminders

Easily remind guests to send their payment info with just one click.

SMS available in more markets

Automated SMS updates and reminders to guests are now available to restaurants in Panama, Costa Rica, Chile, and Peru.

Improved Experiences

Work with what you’ve got

Save time creating a new experience by duplicating and editing a previous one.

Prioritize your offerings

Customize the order in which Experiences show up on your profile.

Greater fee transparency

Go beyond “service charge”— customize what you name fees so guests know exactly what they’re paying for.

Images are for illustrative purposes only. Interface may vary.

And more…

Highlight your other restaurants

Now you can choose the order in which your affiliated restaurants show up for your guests in the booking widget on your website.

Faster, easier menu upload

New Popmenu and Storekit integrations make keeping menus up to date even easier.

Deeper ROI insights

Insights on total sales, spend and ROI on marketing campaigns help you drill into your return on every dollar spent
