Fuel your revenue,
one Experience at a timeFrom exclusive chef’s tables and tasting menus to ticketed events, Experiences are a way to showcase the best your restaurant has to offer. When you offer Experiences on OpenTable, you unlock new ways to attract guests and drive more revenue.

How restaurants are bringing their visions to life
Thanks to OpenTable’s ‘Experiences’ product, our pop-up restaurant at the ‘All Together Now’ music festival was a huge success! Being able to offer variable pricing for adults and children through the platform made it so easy for us to cater to our diverse audience. The seamless experience and flexibility provided by OpenTable truly enhanced our ability to provide a unique and enjoyable dining experience for all festival attendees. Highly recommend it for any restaurant running an event.”

Opium Restaurant, DublinOne of the things we decided to do was this incredible evening with Mark Moriarty, who had just brought out his first cookbook. To celebrate the launch, we had a special dinner here. We were able to sell it under Experiences, and it sold out super quick.”
