What is OpenTable and how does it work?
OpenTable is an online reservation platform and marketplace where diners discover restaurants and book a table online. The restaurant pays a subscription and, in some cases, a fee for each diner who books through its network. It is, above all, an online booking widget.
But in Mexico most reservations still come in by phone and WhatsApp — and an online booking platform doesn't answer those.
Where an online booking platform falls short
It doesn't answer the phone
The #1 channel in Mexico is still the call. A booking widget won't pick up the phone while your team is on the floor.
Fees that eat your margin
Marketplace models can charge for each diner booked through the platform. Reservi is a flat plan, with no per-reservation fee.
Built for the online booking
Great for discovery, not for the daily phone operation: menu questions, last-minute changes, the waitlist.
Reservi vs. OpenTable
Different tools. OpenTable brings online discovery; Reservi runs your phone. Many restaurants use both.
Why restaurants in Mexico choose Reservi
Not to replace your online presence, but to stop losing the reservations that come in by phone. Reservi answers every call like your best host, in Spanish and English, and syncs everything with your system.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to OpenTable in Mexico?
It depends on what you need. If you want a discovery marketplace, OpenTable is strong. If your problem is missed calls and phone/WhatsApp reservations, Reservi is the alternative: an AI voice host that answers every call 24/7 and takes the reservation.
Does OpenTable answer my restaurant's phone?
No. OpenTable is an online reservation platform; it doesn't handle your restaurant's phone calls. Reservi does answer the phone, takes reservations and resolves questions by voice.
Does Reservi replace OpenTable?
It can replace or complement it. Reservi covers phone and WhatsApp; you can run it alongside OpenTable for online discovery, or instead of it if your priority is the phone operation.
Does OpenTable charge commission?
Reservation platforms typically combine a subscription with, in some cases, a fee per diner booked through their marketplace. Reservi charges a flat per-minute plan, with no per-reservation commission.
Can I keep my phone number with Reservi?
Yes. We port or link your current number, so your guests keep calling the same one as always.
