OpenTable, a restaurant-booking platform owned by Booking
Holdings Inc., said it is waiving restaurants' subscription fees
through the year as dining rooms remain closed to contain the
Covid-19 pandemic.
The unit on Friday also said it is waiving cover fees through
Sept. 30, with standard subscription and cover pricing resuming in
January 2021.
OpenTable said it will now have health and safety information
for diners on its platform.
"Restaurants need help to reopen quickly, safely, and
successfully as local restrictions lift," OpenTable Chief Operating
Officer Andrea Johnston said. "We're doing our part to help them by
waiving fees and updating features with the post-COVID-19 dining
experience in mind."
