Uber (NYSE: UBER) and OpenTable, a subsidiary of Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), have joined forces in a strategic global collaboration. This innovative partnership aims to streamline the dining experience for millions of consumers worldwide by integrating Uber’s mobility and delivery capabilities with OpenTable’s extensive restaurant network. The collaboration extends to key markets such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia, and Ireland.
Seamless Integration for a Better Dining Experience
Through this partnership, Uber and OpenTable plan to synchronize their apps to feature dining reservations, on-demand transportation services, membership perks, and more. These integrations will provide users with an effortless way to enjoy restaurant outings—from reserving a table to arriving at the venue seamlessly. Additionally, the joint effort offers over 1 million global restaurant partners new ways to increase revenue, attract new patrons, and deepen engagement with their existing customer bases.
“We’re always looking for ways to help people go out and get the best of their cities,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. “As a first step, our partnership with OpenTable will make it easier than ever to find and book a great restaurant and get there without a hitch. And we’re excited to continue making Uber One even more valuable to our members.”
“Together with Uber, we’re redefining what it means to dine out in a connected world,” added Debby Soo, CEO of OpenTable. “Dining, delivery, and transportation are all intimately connected. This partnership strategically positions OpenTable to make those daily experiences as integrated and frictionless as possible for both restaurants and diners.”
Phased Rollout with Commitment to Innovation
The features resulting from this strategic alliance will be introduced gradually over the next year, with the companies pledging to intensify their collaboration and expand available services in the future. Both organizations are dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions for consumers while supporting the restaurant industry in navigating an increasingly connected landscape.
