23+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc.

the world of hospitality. We champion restaurants, bars, wineries,
and other venues around the world, helping them attract guests,

technical knowledge, even better.The goal is not to get the
customer off the phone as fast as possible (unless that's what the
customer wants). We expect you to go out of your way to not only
fix the problem, but have the customer finish the conversation with
a smile and with restored faith in OpenTable. Our customer base is
