OpenTable

The impact of a table goes far beyond the check. Every day, restaurants bring people together, support local economies, and contribute to our well-being. OpenTable has launched its 2026 Restaurant Impact Reports in the United States, the UK, Canada, Mexico, Germany and Australia, which takes a closer look at the important role restaurants play in our daily lives and the communities we live in. A few highlights from the US report: 🍴88% of US diners say local restaurants, bars, and cafes are key to building a sense of community 🍴60% of US diners have spent money at neighboring businesses before or after their meal, spending an average of $138 🍴84% of US diners say dining out locally boosts their personal and social wellbeing But when a guest doesn’t show, restaurants can lose revenue, food, and a chance to serve someone else. The report looks at the full picture: the value restaurants create every day, the challenges that can put that impact at risk, and the OpenTable tools to help mitigate them.

Helping business travelers find the right table on the road shouldn’t feel like work. That’s why we’re excited to partner with Navan Edge to bring OpenTable reservations right into its AI business travel app. Now, travelers can book corporate travel, including flights, hotels, and restaurant reservations, all in one place. It also gives our restaurant partners a powerful new way to reach corporate diners across the Navan ecosystem.

OpenTable is now part of OpenAI’s newest restaurant reservation experience in ChatGPT, helping diners discover restaurants from our network of more than 70,000 worldwide. We’re making it easier for diners to search for restaurants, check availability, compare options, and book a table, all within ChatGPT. This launch builds on our broader strategy to meet diners where they are and make restaurant discovery and booking feel more seamless, wherever the journey starts. For restaurants, it’s another way to show up in front of diners at the moment they’re ready to book, helping fill more tables. It’s one more example of how we’re investing in new ways to connect diners and restaurants, and helping shape what the future of dining discovery can look like.
