Companies that use OpenTable

I noticed that OpenTable's typical customers are primarily full-service restaurants, hotels with dining operations, and hospitality venues that emphasize the dining experience. These aren't fast-casual chains or quick-service operations. They're establishments where reservations matter: upscale steakhouses, fine dining restaurants, gastropubs, wine bars, resort restaurants, and boutique hotels with signature dining rooms. Many operate multiple concepts or locations, like Thirsty Lion with its gastropub chain or Triple A Group managing several restaurant brands.

These companies span the maturity spectrum, but most appear to be established operations rather than early-stage startups. The employee counts, while sometimes inconsistent in the data, suggest stable businesses. Many reference their founding dates (Union Oyster House since 1856, Tujague's since 1856, The Pink Door since 1981), indicating mature, successful operations. Even newer concepts seem to be backed by experienced restaurateurs with track records, like The Twelve Thirty Club from Sam Fox or establishments within hotel groups like Curio Collection properties.
