I'm curious. Do OpenTable-enabled places get significantly more diners because they're able to compare multiple places for a single time slot? Or is the value simply that it makes booking easy for consumers?
If it's the latter then I'm surprised there aren't already cheap plugin systems for Wordpress that would do the same thing.
I didn't realise that OpenTable has a whole booking.com style website, including the "booked 15 times in the last microsecond!" nonsense. Feeling somewhat like a luddite now, I've only ever used it when trying to book a table at a specific restaurant (i.e. via the restaurant's website).
