OpenTable, restaurant reservation service, announced the launch of its free Android app. Diners using
OpenTable for Android can check real-time availability of multiple
restaurants in the area, read restaurant reviews, invite friends to
join them and then follow directions to the restaurant, all from their
mobile devices.
With OpenTable for Android, diners can specify the desired date, time and party size for their meal to
immediately be provided with a list of available tables at restaurants
in the vicinity.
From there, diners can refine results by price range
or type of cuisine, view individual restaurants on a map, and send
emails complete with reservation information to friends. Registered
OpenTable members can view or modify their upcoming reservations, earn
OpenTable Dining Points and see their current points balances from
their smartphones. OpenTable for Android users can also book
1,000-point reservations, allowing them to earn free meals faster than
ever before.
“OpenTable’s
mobile applications take the ease and convenience of online
reservations to a whole new level,” said Caroline Potter, chief dining
officer at OpenTable. “The ability to instantly find and book
reservations from anywhere —without having to research restaurants from
a desktop computer or make multiple calls to find available tables - is
a truly valuable service for business travelers and casual diners
alike. Now, fans of the open source Android platform can experience
that same advantage.”
OpenTable for Android also leverages the Android
platform’s unique integration capability between applications. Using
this feature, WHERE and GoodFood, two location-based applications in
Android Market, now enable their users to make restaurant reservations
via OpenTable when they are on the go. WHERE is a location-based
application that connects people to the world around them, helping them
save time and money. Now with the integration of OpenTable, WHERE users
on Android powered-devices will not only be able to search for
restaurants nearby and read reviews, but they will also be able to book
reservations while on the go. The GoodFood application makes it easier
and faster to find and share restaurant recommendations. With simple
‘Thumbs Up’ or ‘Thumbs Down’ recommendations, short quick tips and easy
to use cuisine and price filters, GoodFood allows diners to make rapid,
informed decisions about where to dine.
Open Table for Android application is
available for download today from Android Market on Android-powered
devices. For more information about OpenTable’s mobile applications for
