I do not enjoy the menu building feature. I believe that is the least user friendly feature in the whole system. Also, I would like to see more integrations meant for hotels that run restaurants in their facilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While OpenTable is a powerful tool, the cost can be a barrier—especially for independent restaurants. I also think there’s room for improvement in how the platform integrates with other systems like POS or marketing tools. More customization for reservation pacing and better insights into guest behavior would also be valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If we had one piece of feedback, it would be on pricing. The per-cover charges can really add up over time, and for small to mid-sized restaurants, that cost can be tough to absorb. A more flexible or tiered pricing model would go a long way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
