We're thrilled to announce that OpenTable has been named to the 2026 TIME100 Most Influential Companies list. To make things even sweeter, we’ve also been recognized as one of the 10 Most Influential Food and Drink Companies on TIME’s inaugural Industry Leaders shortlist.

It validates the "why" behind everything we do: — For our 65,000+ restaurants: We’re obsessed with building the tech that helps you grow, get discovered, and stay at the heart of your communities. — For our millions of diners: We’re here to make every meal feel like an event, connecting you to the flavors and experiences you love. Whether we’re forging new partnerships to put restaurants front-and-center or building the tools that power magical hospitality, we're proud to be a meaningful connector that keeps this industry moving forward. This is a huge recognition for our team, our partners, and the global dining community. Thank you to all of these groups for continuing to push us to new heights!

At its core, Mother’s Day is about connection. In fact, 42% of moms say what they want most is simple: a meal out with family. It’s always been a moment to gather, but this year’s key findings show how much the way we celebrate Mother’s Day is evolving. It’s not just about a single meal—it’s about bringing more people to the table, planning earlier , and creating space for every kind of celebration. And when diners show up for moments like these, our restaurant partners feel it, too. Here are a few of the insights shaping Mother’s Day dining demand: 🌸 62% of Americans say dining out is an important part of their celebration. 🌸 Larger groups are on the rise, with a 13% increase in parties of 6+ in 2025. For those dining out in 2026, 38% of celebrations will span multiple generations.  🌸 Noon remains the moment—12 pm was the most popular time to dine in 2025, making brunch reservations a key part of the day. 🌸 When it comes to booking,— 15% of Moms say they book their own table, while children (20%) and partners (11%) often take the lead.

Did you know that women make up a significant portion of the hospitality industry—but hold only about 30% of management roles, and even fewer C-suite positions? (Restaurants Canada) That’s what makes initiatives like WORTH Association’s Yes Shef matter. As a sponsor of the inaugural Ontario event, OpenTable supported an evening pairing established chefs with rising F&B students—creating mentorship that extends far beyond one night. We’re excited to see what grows from here. Learn more ➡️ www.yesshef.com/ Photos by: Christine Reid Photography
