OpenTable App Redesign Helps Travelers and Locals Discover New Dining Experiences

The redesign features a new Discover tab, which allows traveling and local diners to discover more with a single tap by connecting them to new dining experiences, ranging from trending cuisines and popular restaurants to OpenTable locals' favorite picks.

"Whether you're landing hungry on the tarmac in a new city or planning a last minute date night in your local neighborhood, OpenTable wants to be the dining concierge in your pocket," said Christa Quarles, OpenTable Chief Executive Officer. "Dining has never been more mobile and our new app experience helps diners discover the perfect restaurant to satisfy every occasion, mood and craving whether they're at home or on the road."

The content presented on the Discover tab factors in elements like availability, popularity, proximity and personal favorites. It enables quick visual browsing of categories to get recommendations that will satisfy any taste. The recommendations are especially handy for local diners eager to explore something new and for travelers hoping to sink their teeth into amazing culinary experiences. New categories in the Discover tab include:

• New & Hot – Recently opened restaurants with high popularity scores
• Most Popular – Restaurants with the highest popularity scores
• My Favorites – Diner's favorite restaurant list
• Special Features – Restaurants perfect for every occasion ranging from romantic to kid-friendly
• Near Me Now – Nearby restaurants with immediate availability
• Dinner Tonight – Restaurants with availability that night
• Editorial Picks – Restaurants nominated by local OpenTable insiders and other industry experts.

OpenTable's Discover tab is currently rolling out gradually for English-language iPhone users of the OpenTable app in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. Android support will be launched shortly. In addition to the new features of the redesign, diners can still use OpenTable's quick and easy search functionality.
