What happens if I am running late for my reservation?

Asked a year ago
If you are running late for your reservation, it is recommended that you contact the restaurant directly to inform them about the delay. The phone number for the restaurant can be found on your OpenTable reservation confirmation email or in the OpenTable app. While the restaurant may try to hold your table for a certain grace period, it may be subject to their specific policy and availability. In some cases, if you are significantly late, the restaurant may give away your table to accommodate other diners. To avoid any inconvenience, it is advisable to arrive as close to your reservation time as possible or let the restaurant know about any delays in advance.
