“Diners rely on OpenTable to provide all the information they need to discover and book the perfect restaurant, and menus are a key element of the discovery and decision-making experience,” said Scott Jampol, Senior Vice President of Marketing at OpenTable. “By partnering with SinglePlatform, we’re working together to make it easy and seamless for our restaurant customers to update and showcase their latest menus and seasonal fare.”
