OpenTable, a provider of free online reservations for diners and guest management systems for restaurants, has released a free application for the iPhone and iPod touch at the Apple App Store.
OpenTable for iPhone allows diners to check the real-time availability of multiple restaurants in the area, get the restaurants’ location, make free, confirmed reservations, and then follow directions to the restaurant. The app leverages the core functionality of the OpenTable.com website and the location-based features of the Apple devices.
Diners simply specify the desired date, time and party size, and they’re provided with a list of available tables at nearby restaurants. They can also view results on a map, get directions to the restaurants and send emails complete with reservation information to friends. Additionally, registered OpenTable members have the ability to see their upcoming reservations, earn OpenTable Dining Points and view their current Points balances.
