OpenTable has announced the launch of its redesigned OpenTable iOS app, enabling diners to more easily discover and book great dining experiences, from the hottest new restaurants to neighbourhood gems.
The redesign features a new Discover tab, which allows travelling and local diners to discover more with a single tap by connecting them to new dining experiences, ranging from trending cuisines and popular restaurants to OpenTable locals’ favourite picks.
The content presented on the Discover tab factors in elements like availability, popularity, proximity and personal favourites. It enables quick visual browsing of categories to get recommendations that will satisfy any taste. The recommendations are especially handy for local diners eager to explore something new and for travellers hoping to sink their teeth into amazing culinary experiences. New categories in the Discover tab include:
- New & Hot – Recently opened restaurants with high popularity score
- Most Popular – Restaurants with the highest popularity scores
- My Favorites – Diner’s favourite restaurant list
- Special Features – Restaurants perfect for every occasion ranging from romantic to kid-friendly
- Near Me Now – Nearby restaurants with immediate availability
- Dinner Tonight – Restaurants with availability that night
OpenTable’s Discover tab is currently rolling out gradually for English-language iPhone users of the OpenTable app in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. Android support will be launched shortly. In addition to the new features of the redesign, diners can still use OpenTable’s quick and easy search functionality.
