Used to market competitors to your guests
OpenTable charges $0.25–$1.50 per cover depending on how the booking originates. For a restaurant doing 300 covers a week, that's $15,000–$23,000 per year just in per-cover fees — on top of the monthly subscription.
Your guest data lives on OpenTable's platform, not yours. They use it to market competing restaurants to your own diners. The guests you worked to acquire see competitor ads in the very app they used to book your table.
Analytics are basic and reporting is limited. There's no AI copilot, no predictive no-show scoring, no morning briefings. You're paying premium prices for a booking widget with a guest database you don't control.
