Get your OpenTable AI Receptionist up and running in minutes.

1

Log into the Client Portal and assign OpenTable to any agents that need it.

3

Connect a calendar (Google, Outlook, or Cal.com) for new bookings, and your AI starts reading OpenTable reservations on chat and WhatsApp.

Key Features

Everything your AI needs to handle OpenTable inquiries like a pro.

Reservation Lookup

Your AI searches OpenTable reservations by guest name, phone number, or confirmation code and reads back date, time, party size, table assignment, and special requests.

Guest Details

Your AI reads OpenTable guest profile notes — dining preferences, allergies, special occasions, and seating requests — so a returning guest is recognized.

Booking on Your Calendar

New reservations are booked on your connected calendar — Google, Outlook, or Cal.com — with real-time availability, not written into OpenTable.

Read-Only OpenTable

The OpenTable integration reads existing reservations and guest notes; it does not create, change, or cancel OpenTable bookings, or read your table-availability calendar.

AI Receptionist for OpenTable Example Prompts

Copy and paste these prompts into your OpenTable AI Receptionist prompt box to get started quickly.

Example 1 — Making a Reservation:
"When a caller wants to book a table, ask for the date, time, party size, and any special requests (birthday, high chair, outdoor seating). Check OpenTable for availability and book the reservation. Confirm all details and mention our cancellation policy."

Example 2 — Modifying a Reservation:
"If a guest calls to change their reservation, look it up in OpenTable by name or phone number. Update the date, time, or party size as requested. Confirm the changes and ask if there is anything else they need."

Example 3 — Waitlist:
"When someone wants to dine in but no tables are available at their preferred time, offer to add them to the waitlist in OpenTable. Let them know the estimated wait time and that they will receive a notification when their table is ready."

Here's how your AI Receptionist for OpenTable handles a real conversation.

Caller

Hi, I have a reservation tonight and I want to add two more people to the party.

AI Agent

Happy to help — what name is the reservation under?

Caller

Michael Torres, the 7:30 reservation.

AI Agent

Thanks, Michael — I see your 7:30 reservation for 4 guests tonight, with your window-seat note on file. I'll pass your request to bump it to 6 to our host team so they can confirm the table and update it. Anything else you'd like me to add?

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it make new reservations in OpenTable?
No. The OpenTable integration is read-only — your AI looks up existing reservations and guest notes but does not create, change, or cancel OpenTable bookings. New reservations are booked on your connected calendar (Google, Outlook, or Cal.com).
Can it change a party size or cancel a reservation?
Not in OpenTable. Your AI reads the reservation and hands the change request to your host team; it does not modify the OpenTable booking.
Does it read table availability?
No. Availability for new bookings comes from your connected calendar. The OpenTable integration reads existing reservations and guest notes only.
Does the lookup work on phone calls?
The OpenTable lookup runs on text channels — web chat, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. On a phone call your AI still books on your connected calendar, transfers, and takes messages.
Does it support multiple restaurant locations?
Yes — your AI reads reservations for the locations you authorize and identifies which one a guest is asking about.
