OpenTable is an online restaurant-reservation service company founded by Sid Gorham, Eric Moe and Chuck Templeton[3] on July 2, 1998, and based in San Francisco, California.

Reservations are free to end users; the company charges restaurants flat monthly and per-reservation fees for their use of the system.

[12] On June 13, 2014, the company agreed to a takeover offer by the Priceline Group of $103 a share, a 46% premium on the previous day's closing stock price.

[14] Users search for restaurants and reservations based on such parameters as dates, times, cuisine, and price range.

[19] After receiving significant pushback, OpenTable quickly announced that it would not apply the new policy retroactively, leaving previous reviews anonymous.
