With SF dining demand continuing to trail
national levels, OpenTable encourages locals and travelers to dine
out during Restaurant Week and the APEC Summit
SAN
FRANCISCO, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenTable, a
Booking Holdings company, is offering 1,000 Uber Vouchers, valued
up to $25 each, to diners
participating in San Francisco Restaurant Week. The promotion aims
to help reignite dining demand amid The City's continued recovery:
according to OpenTable's State of the Industry dashboard,
San Francisco dining was down 10%
in October and down 13% in September, compared to 2022, which
reflects slower demand than nationwide levels (respectively down 4%
and 6% YoY).*
In addition, OpenTable, together with Booking Holdings, is
leveraging its sponsorship of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) Summit to help spur local dining demand as well as
support the San Francisco
restaurant community by:
- Connecting APEC attendees with local restaurants:
OpenTable partnered with nearly 40 restaurants across the city to
secure tables for APEC attendees.
- Helping out-of-towners explore the SF dining scene:
OpenTable curated local guides to the city's top bars, outdoor
spots, private dining options and more to give out-of-towners a
taste of what the local dining scene has to offer.
- Giving restaurants an audience with Mayor Breed: In
early 2024, OpenTable and the City of San
Francisco are gathering local restaurants for a discussion
with Mayor London Breed on the industry's needs and how to chart a
stronger future together.
"San Francisco, despite being
hit hard these past few years, continues to offer a diverse and
dynamic dining scene," said Debby
Soo, Chief Executive Officer of OpenTable. "We're
committed to supporting the local restaurant community, including
finding new ways to introduce locals and travelers to the city's
incredible restaurants."
"I am grateful for OpenTable's commitment to supporting
San Francisco," said Mayor
London Breed. "Their sponsorship will help highlight
San Francisco's hospitality during
APEC as we expect thousands of delegation members and attendees
from around the world. This special promotion will enable us to
deliver an amazing culinary experience with our world renowned
restaurant scene. There is plenty of amazing food to eat wherever
our visitors are staying."
