Reservations for a multi-site restaurant group
Scored and compared prices dated
The short answer
OpenTable is the option on this site built explicitly for restaurant groups, with a guest network that spans locations and reporting that rolls up across a portfolio rather than per site. That reach comes at a real per-cover cost that is worth weighing against how many of your diners are already loyal to the brand rather than being newly found through the network.

What's different about buying this for multi-site operators
A single dining room's reservations problem is mostly about the host stand. A restaurant group's version adds a harder question: does a guest who has eaten at one of your sites show up as a known regular at another, and can head office see booking and covers data rolled up across the whole portfolio rather than logging into each site's system separately.
OpenTable markets directly to restaurant groups and enterprise operators as a segment, and its guest profile and reporting tools are built with that consolidation in mind. Pricing runs $149 to $499 a month per site depending on tier, plus $1 to $1.50 a cover on top for network-sourced bookings, a cost that scales with exactly the volume a growing group is trying to increase.
There is no flat-fee alternative in this comparison for a multi-site group the way there is for a single independent; that trade-off, network reach against per-cover cost, is one every restaurant group weighing this category has to make with their own numbers rather than a rule of thumb.
Questions people actually ask
- Does OpenTable share guest data across a group's sites?
- Its guest profile and relationship management tools are designed to work across locations within one account, which is a real advantage for a group over running separate single-site reservation tools at each address.
- Is the per-cover fee negotiable at scale?
- We have not verified specific enterprise discount terms and would rather say so than guess; larger groups typically work with OpenTable's enterprise sales team directly rather than the published self-serve pricing.
