So now it is time to know more about the features.  

1. Discovering restaurants 

Here are the three most basic features that OpenTable uses to help the diners to find good places to eat.  

• • Location-based search
• • History of bookings
• • User-generated reviews

2. Search

The account here gets created with the help of an email address and password. Only then one can start using the application. Another way to sign in is with the help of a Facebook account. Once the registration is done, it gives several suggestions based on the current location.

The given list includes restaurants from the surrounding locations. The suggestions come according to the reviews and the reservation time. Users can also add filters according to their choices. For example a specific place, neighbor, city, etc.

It has very specific details like venue location, ratings, menu, phone numbers, parking availability, and to top it all of, it also has a short description of the place.

3. Reviews

The diners can share their reviews on the app or the website. They can leave a comment and rate according to their experience. Not any random person here can post a review, only the ones confirmed as seated can do. This is a great option as it can harm the eatery's reputation, as reviews can be fake also.

It provides a great way to deliver authenticity to the users, and also to make sure that nobody takes the undue advantage of the same.

4. History of bookings

Users would be always able to view the restaurant search history. But with that, it would also be able to view the history of bookings that they have made earlier. The features provide diners with quick access to the places that they have visited in the past.

Now you might think that this feature is not even that important. Well if you are on the same page, then it is a must for you to know that this feature is a great asset. As it really comes in handy when one forgets the name of the restaurant. This happens more than you can think of.

5. Apple Watch app

OpenTable also has an app that is especially dedicated to the Apple Watch. This application reminds users about the upcoming reservations. It also updates the users whether they can pay using Apple Pay in the restaurant that they are planning to eat in.
