SAN FRANCISCO, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenTable, the
world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations and part
of The Priceline Group (NASDAQ: PCLN), today announced it is
piloting OpenTable Tab, a new payment experience that gives
restaurants a unique way to deliver classic hospitality. OpenTable
Tab is currently available at more than 75 restaurants in
Los Angeles and will be introduced
in more U.S. cities later this year.
To experience OpenTable Tab, diners simply tap the Tab feature
when they book their reservation at participating
restaurants. Once they're at the restaurant and ready to
leave – or at any time during their meal – diners can let their
server know they want to put their meal on their OpenTable Tab and
then get up and go whenever they're ready.
"Restaurant goers in LA love to be treated like regulars and
truly value a VIP experience," said Catherine Porter, SVP of Strategy and Business
Development at OpenTable. "OpenTable Tab is designed to
reinvent and simplify the way diners pay at restaurants and enhance
the overall dining experience. By removing the cumbersome and
time-consuming credit card swap, diners who use OpenTable Tab can
focus on enjoying their fantastic meal and our restaurant partners
can focus on delivering amazing hospitality."
"Tab gives us a new way to easily process payments from guests,"
added Amy Knoll Fraser, Owner of
Redbird. "OpenTable continues to be a great partner for us, always
innovating and offering new services to better accommodate our
guests."
