OpenTable partners with Uber Eats to offer delivery across Canada

One of Canada’s most used online restaurant reservation systems has ventured beyond online booking for the first time in 20 years.

OpenTable has partnered with Uber Eats to offer delivery in Canada from hundreds of restaurants across the country.

“Sometimes plans change or the weather doesn’t cooperate. Even if reservations need to be cancelled, diners can now still enjoy the meal they had planned from home,” said Joseph Essas, CTO, OpenTable. “Our goal is to make OpenTable the go-to app for all dining occasions. Adding delivery is an important next step.”

This service has been offered through OpenTable in the states for some time, due to its popularity the brands decided to take things north of the border.

Uber Eats will power delivery for nearly 700 restaurants across seven provinces in Canada on the OpenTable iOS app.

Features that will be rolled out in the future will include the estimated time and cost of delivery.
