How restaurants are bringing their visions to life
As a venue, we host numerous dining events throughout the year, and OpenTable experiences have been a great way of messaging and promoting these. The set up allows us to clearly highlight all the details of the event, drive traffic directly to the experience link, as well as clearly see pick-up for each individual event.”

Utilising OpenTable Experiences is an excellent strategy for promoting our set menus at Gouqi. This feature allows guests to pre-pay for their menu and include a gratuity. By having guests pre-pay for their orders, the risk of late cancellations or no-shows is reduced. Receiving experience bookings provides a steady cash flow for the business.”
