OpenTable has decided to engage in a timely pivot and this change is music to our ears. Now that most restaurants are only offering take out orders going forward, this app is here to help.

With everyone trying to take all of the necessary precautions and doing their best not to get each other sick, apps like this are especially useful. If we all work together, we can stop the spread of the virus. Of course, staying home is the most effective way to flatten the curve, but when we do need to go out, we need to take the right steps. Unfortunately, grocery shopping lines can be excessively long and expose us to all sorts of germs. That’s why OpenTable has stepped up to the plate and made the switch. At the moment, the app is assisting those who shop at restaurants that have been converted into pop up markets as well as specialty grocery stores.

These locations are more than happy to accommodate anyone who is looking to make shopping reservations. OpenTable is even offering a free sign up to restaurant owners and shoppers that are looking to learn more about these services. Please be sure to shop safely during the COVID-19 pandemic!
