OpenTable is a restaurant reservation platform, part of Booking Holdings, that more than 60,000 restaurants worldwide use to manage tables, guests and online bookings.

📒 NOTE
Ventrata doesn't currently support an operator backend connection with OpenTable. OpenTable isn't available as a Backend Partner on your operators in the Ventrata Dashboard yet, so availability, prices and bookings for operators that use OpenTable can't sync automatically.

Requesting an OpenTable Connection
We're always open to new integrations. The quickest route is for OpenTable to offer an OCTO API, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found, which Ventrata connects to directly. Once it's connected, you could resell products from operators that use OpenTable, with live availability and prices from OpenTable, and every booking created directly in the operator's OpenTable account.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you resell products from operators that use OpenTable, send one email to your contact at OpenTable, or ask your operator to, and copy [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which operators and products you'd like to connect.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts OpenTable and agrees the integration plan with them.
OpenTable and Ventrata build and certify the connection. OpenTable offers an OCTO API, or shares its own API, and the connection is tested with test bookings before it goes live.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, you select OpenTable as the Backend Partner on your operators under Products → Operators, like any other backend.
If OpenTable works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with OpenTable after your introduction.
📗 TIP
See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for what to include in your introduction email, with a sample you can copy.
Working with OpenTable Operators in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still resell products from operators that use OpenTable, for example:
Manage availability in Ventrata: set up the operator's products in Ventrata and keep their availability up to date there. See how to create products.
Send bookings to the operator: pass each booking to the operator, so they can enter it in OpenTable.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case the operator also uses a booking system that's already connected to Ventrata.
