OpenTable Wraps Up 2008 by Hitting New MilestonesSAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — December 18, 2008 — OpenTable, Inc. (www.opentable.com), a leading provider of free online reservations for diners and guest management systems for restaurants, today announced that the company is ending 2008 having achieved two major business milestones. In the beginning of December, the company seated its 85 millionth diner through online restaurant reservations. Additionally, the OpenTable network now exceeds 10,000 customers, which is nearly 2,000 more restaurants than the company had at the beginning of the calendar year. These restaurants serve an average of nearly three million guests each month through online reservations booked via OpenTable.com.
“These metrics reinforce the appeal of OpenTable to diners and the value of our guest management systems to restaurants,” said Jeff Jordan, CEO of OpenTable. “To have achieved these milestones in this economic climate underscores the strength of our product to both diners and restaurants.”
“We could not have made it through such a successful opening and launch without OpenTable,” said Christian Holmes, general manager of Washington, DC-based Founding Farmers restaurant, a recent addition to the OpenTable network. “Their electronic reservation book helped bring order to our guest reception process. OpenTable works incredibly well for us!”
“The entire OpenTable team is dedicated to making sure our partners are highly satisfied with their investment, so it’s very rewarding for us to hear how restaurants, like Founding Farmers, are so pleased with our product and service levels,” added Jordan.
