At OpenTable, we love what happens around the table – particularly the connections. Now, the release of iOS 10 gives us new ways to connect you with great restaurants right where you search for them – and to connect with your friends to make booking a table a more social experience. Get the latest OpenTable app now, plus upgrade to iOS 10 to get going.

OpenTable in Apple Maps: Apple Maps has always been a great way to find restaurants near you, and today it gets even better. With iOS 10, you can make OpenTable reservations without leaving the Maps app. Just find a restaurant, tap the OpenTable Reservations button; pick a time; and confirm.

The Apple Maps extension is now available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and will be rolling out to other countries in the future.

OpenTable in iMessage: Ever wish planning a meal with friends was easier? Now, you can finally make getting to the answer of “Where should we eat?” more fun! OpenTable’s iMessage extension allows friends to suggest restaurants to try, to vote on favorites, pick a winner, and book–all directly in Messages. It’s a fun way to pick the perfect place for a date, a lunch with coworkers, or a get-together with friends.

OpenTable Tab

Dine like a regular and pay like a boss in Los Angeles with OpenTable Tab, a new payment experience that gives diners a way to quickly and easily settle a check at any time as well as providing restaurants with a unique way to deliver classic hospitality. Currently available at more than 75 restaurants in Los Angeles, OpenTable Tab will be introduced in more U.S. cities later this year.

To experience OpenTable Tab,  simply tap the Tab feature when you book your reservation at a participating restaurant. Once you’re at the restaurant and ready to leave – or at any time during their meal – you can let your server know you want to put your meal on your OpenTable Tab and then get up and go whenever you’re ready. When no cash or cards exchange hands at the table, you’re free to live in the moment.Continue Reading
