The iPhone users can always keep asking for more functions as there have been so many new functions introduced. Here comes another function introduced for iPhone via OpenTable , a leading provider of free online reservations for diner and guest management system for restaurants. OpenTable offers iPhone users a free service to check the information regarding the availability of restaurants in their area. OpenTable for iPhone was developed with Context Optional, a social marketing company.
The users can get the information of the restaurants with its location. The users can also reserve their table for dinner with no reservation charges and then can move ahead with the restaurant directions. The users can access the OpenTable website with their phone’s features to enjoy this service.
“The combination of allowing people to match their actual location with availability at nearby restaurants makes OpenTable for iPhone and iPod touch unique,” says Ann Shepherd, vice president of marketing at OpenTable. “All the necessary steps, from choosing a restaurant to actually confirming your reservation, can be done simply and quickly, without ever leaving the application or having to make calls to multiple restaurants.”
“Context Optional was selected to help OpenTable with the development of this application because of its relevant experience and deep expertise with building and launching consumer-facing iPhone applications,” commented Shepherd. “We also worked with Context Optional when developing the OpenTable Facebook application, so we were quite familiar with its high-quality work already.”
This service brings an easy way to arrange the parties for iPhone users. They simply have to mention the date and time with number of members. The users are then instantly provided with list of tables of their near by restaurants. This can be viewed on maps with directions of location and can send complete information regarding the reservation to their friends. OpenTable also offers their registered customers to see their upcoming reservation options, earn OpenTable Dining Points and can also view their current balances.
