SinglePlatform customer menus will update across all OpenTable
platforms
Connecting with hungry diners just got a lot easier for restaurants. SinglePlatform
from Constant
Contact®, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTCT) today announced that OpenTable,
Inc., the world’s leading provider of online restaurant reservations,
has named SinglePlatform as its new preferred provider of restaurant
menus in North America. With this partnership, restaurants that use
OpenTable can take advantage of unlimited updates for up to five menus,
and SinglePlatform will provide a dedicated support team, ensuring
accurate menus that will aid the decision-making of the millions of
diners OpenTable seats per month.
“Diners rely on OpenTable to provide all the information they need to
discover and book the perfect restaurant, and menus are a key element of
the discovery and decision-making experience,” said Scott Jampol, Senior
Vice President of Marketing at OpenTable. “By partnering with
SinglePlatform, we’re working together to make it easy and seamless for
our restaurant customers to update and showcase their latest menus and
seasonal fare.”
Via the partnership with SinglePlatform, OpenTable restaurant customers
can update their menus from OpenTable’s
Restaurant Center and have those updates reflected on the OpenTable
site and mobile apps.
“It’s an understatement to say that online search is essential to a
local restaurant’s success,” said Pete Chen, vice president and general
manager of SinglePlatform from Constant Contact. “Restaurants need to
have accurate menu information readily available online, as well as a
way for consumers to take action on their restaurant selection.”
