OpenTable For iPad App

Popular restaurant reservation website OpenTable has created an iPad version of their iPhone app. OpenTable is a convenient service for diners to make free restaurant reservations online at participating restaurants across the nation. The site also provides the ability for members to review and rate restaurants.

All of the functionality of the site can be found as a part of the app. Users can look up restaurants by featured metropolitan areas, check available times for certain party sizes, and confirm reservations. What is most useful for this being on the iPad is the ability to use location-based search for nearby restaurants. Users can search the surrounding location for immediate timeslots of restaurants. Each restaurant page also has user reviews to help with the decision. For some businesses, full menus have been uploaded so a user can also browse for food choices before deciding to make a reservation.

If you already have an OpenTable account then you can log in and have your profile sync to the app. You can view past reservations as well as favorite restaurants, which is definitely very handy and convenient if you frequently use OpenTable for dining reservations. Unfortunately you aren’t able to add any new reviews to restaurants through the App.
