OpenTable is an online restaurant reservation platform that helps diners discover restaurants and book tables, while giving restaurants tools to manage reservations, experiences, guest data, and operations. Founded in San Francisco in 1998, OpenTable became one of the earliest large-scale platforms to bring real-time online reservations to mainstream dining.
Today, OpenTable is part of Booking Holdings (formerly The Priceline Group). For 2026, the most reliable “OpenTable stats” are the company’s own platform-scale benchmarks (restaurants served, seats filled annually, and cumulative reviews) plus its public data products like the State of the Industry dashboard.
Answer box: OpenTable says it serves 60,000+ restaurants globally and helps those partners fill about 1.9 billion seats/people per year. OpenTable also reports its diner network has contributed 136 million+ restaurant reviews since inception. OpenTable has been owned by Booking Holdings since the Priceline Group agreed to acquire it for $2.6 billion in 2014.
Sources: OpenTable Press page + About page, and the Priceline/OpenTable acquisition announcement filed with the SEC.
Key metrics table (latest available)
OpenTable is a private subsidiary inside Booking Holdings, so it does not publish audited “revenue” or “MAU” the way many public apps do. The table below focuses on the most consistently published and verifiable scale metrics (and labels historical figures by year).
| Metric | Value | Year / Period | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Restaurant partners served | 60,000+ restaurants/bars/wineries/venues | Current | OpenTable About |
| Seats/people filled per year (platform scale) | 1.9B per year | Current | OpenTable Press |
| Seats filled annually (alternate benchmark) | 1.7B+ seats annually | Current | OpenTable About |
| Total reviews contributed (since inception) | 136M+ reviews | Since 1998 | OpenTable About |
| State of the Industry dashboard | Tracks seated diner demand vs prior year; methodology updated to online reservations only | Methodology updated June 2024 | OpenTable Data |
| Acquisition price | $2.6B all-cash ($103/share) | Announced June 13, 2014 | SEC filing (Priceline Group) |
| Historical benchmark (seats filled) | 1.6B seats a year; 55,000 restaurants | 2023 (press release “About” boilerplate) | OpenTable press post |
What these numbers mean
1) “Seats filled” is a better scale metric than “users” for OpenTable
Many marketplaces publish MAUs, but OpenTable’s core value is measured in real-world dining outcomes: how many seats get filled and how many restaurants use the platform. OpenTable’s current public benchmark is about 1.9B seats/people filled per year.
2) Reviews indicate the depth of the diner network
OpenTable reports 136M+ reviews contributed since inception. That matters because reviews influence discovery, conversion, and repeat bookings for restaurants.
3) The State of the Industry dashboard is the most “live” public dataset
OpenTable’s State of the Industry dashboard compares seated diner demand vs the prior year and notes a methodology update (June 2024) to show seated diners from online reservations only. It’s a useful reference for dining trends by market and time period.
