By GlobalDataThe 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.
