Minitable vs. OpenTable

Some scenarios where it has helped me was where there was a large group of customers on sight who all wanted to eat but we wanted to provide individual meals to them, so we used Minitable to show them the menu in the morning and have them submit their order by 10:30 am to put in the order and have it ready by 11:30. It was not so appropriate for smaller groups where some did not have an account to Minitable.

It all comes down to budget and options. Most places that can be found in the app are in the upper price range, so if the company is paying for the meal we immediately look for something in OpenTable. If each one of us is paying for its meal, the selection process might be a bit longer and we might have to make the reservation via phone call or just show up and hope we get a table.

• Some menus are proven difficult.
• Not everyone has an account so they do have to make one to use.
• Sometimes communications are a bit much through emails.

• Having more places on it.
• Better suggestions by location. I live in the border with US and even though I open the app on the mexican side, it suggests US restaurants.

I do not like using Airkit at all, but I would say Minitable is comparable to DoorDash.... just cannot reserve a table on DoorDash like you can on Minitable. Minitable is more business-friendly than DoorDash and Airkit. I would only use Minitable in a business setting and I would use DoorDash in a personal setting.

• There are no processing fees, so company does not have to pay for ordering.
• Paying for customers meals is never great on ROI but must be done.
• Customers enjoy picking their own meal and having it delivered.

• It's hard to calculate but it saves time and time is money.
• Helps take into account the expense process because we know what kind of payment type we can use at each place.
• Helps us select the correct place if we are going to talk shop or just team-build.
