OpenTable is the world’s leading provider of online restaurant reservations, seating 1.5 billion diners every year across more than 50,000 restaurants.
The Messaging team helps to market OpenTable and to bring restaurant hospitality outside of their four-walls, facilitating delightful pre- and post-dining experiences, via email, push notifications, automated phone systems, and in-product messages.
