Exporting Diner Info from OpenTable

Exporting a CSV from OpenTable and send it to Slang!

Introduction

Currently, callers asking to book a table will be asked to spell their name out on a call to your Slang concierge. On the backend, through OpenTable, if the first and last name are a match to a phone number in your guestbook, the reservation made will be under that historical record.

However, if “Michael” spells their name “Mikey” on a Slang call, we will create a new diner profile that won’t have any of your guest notes or tags attached. Not great when you want to recognize repeated guests or VIPs!

Why should I do this?

We can enhance the caller experience and make the reservation process faster by exporting your guest book information and importing it to your Slang concierge.

With your guest data saved to your Slang concierge, if we detect that the caller’s phone number is associated with a diner in your books, we will skip asking the diner to spell their name, and use the diner name from your records. This will streamline the booking experience for your regular guests, and ensure that your hosts know their preferences and history with your restaurant!
