UrVenue and OpenTable partner to offer premium dining reservation access
Booking technology provider UrVenue has extended its partnership with OpenTable, enhancing the pre-arrival journey for hotel guests by providing priority access to premium dining reservations.
Building on their successful 2021 integration, the collaboration allows guests to book exclusive restaurant experiences in advance via UrVenue's Itinerary Builder.
UrVenue chief growth officer Tracee Nalewak said: 'This expanded partnership gives hotels unprecedented control over how they prioritise and deliver premium dining access to their in-house guests, enhancing the overall value they bring to the stay experience.'
UrVenue's expanded collaboration with OpenTable is set to benefit luxury hotels, resorts, and lifestyle hospitality groups, among others.
With this integration, properties can now provide priority restaurant reservations access both for guests currently on-site and those with upcoming stays.
This service is incorporated into the guest's pre-arrival itinerary, ensuring a more personalised and curated dining experience.
The partnership also allows hotel staff to manage dining reservations through UrVenue's Experience Center on behalf of guests.
The integration between UrVenue and OpenTable is designed to be quick, with the technology already available on the OpenTable for Restaurants Integrations Marketplace.
This enables resorts to activate the integration with ease, facilitating self-onboarding and a faster go-live process.
OpenTable chief operating officer Amy Wei said: 'Our expanded partnership is all about helping hoteliers enhance the dining experience for hotel guests, giving them privileged access to premium reservations, while making it seamless for staff to manage it all and deliver personalised hospitality.'
The partnership is not the first technological advancement for UrVenue, which, along with its sister platform UrResort, joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) last year.
The platforms unveiled their availability on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace.
