SAN FRANCISCO, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenTable, the world's leading provider of online restaurant
reservations and part of The Priceline Group (NASDAQ: PCLN), today announced it is piloting OpenTable Tab, a new payment
experience that gives restaurants a unique way to deliver classic hospitality. OpenTable Tab is currently available at more than
75 restaurants in Los Angeles and will be introduced in more U.S. cities later this year.
To experience OpenTable Tab, diners simply tap the Tab feature when they book their reservation at participating
restaurants. Once they're at the restaurant and ready to leave – or at any time during their meal – diners can let their
server know they want to put their meal on their OpenTable Tab and then get up and go whenever they're ready.
"Restaurant goers in LA love to be treated like regulars and truly value a VIP experience," said Catherine Porter, SVP of Strategy and Business Development at OpenTable. "OpenTable Tab is designed to
reinvent and simplify the way diners pay at restaurants and enhance the overall dining experience. By removing the
cumbersome and time-consuming credit card swap, diners who use OpenTable Tab can focus on enjoying their fantastic meal and our
restaurant partners can focus on delivering amazing hospitality."
"Tab gives us a new way to easily process payments from guests," added Amy Knoll Fraser, Owner
of Redbird. "OpenTable continues to be a great partner for us, always innovating and offering new services to better accommodate
our guests."
