ChatGPT Can Now Help Secure Your Spot at a Restaurant

The integration lets users book tables or join waitlists in chat, while Yelp says the service works for restaurants in the US and Canada.

  • On Monday, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT users in the U.S. and Canada can now book restaurant tables or join waitlists directly through the chatbot using Yelp, Resy, and OpenTable.
  • This update reflects shifting consumer habits; Accenture's Consumer Pulse Research 2025 found 80 percent of surveyed travelers already use AI tools for travel planning.
  • Simultaneously, ride-hailing service Bolt integrated its platform with ChatGPT, allowing users to check journey options, estimate prices, and see driver arrival times within the chat.
  • While the integrations simplify booking, users must modify reservations directly within Yelp or Bolt apps; Bolt plans to enable in-chat payments later this year.
  • Competitors like Google's Gemini and Microsoft Copilot already offer similar booking features for restaurants using OpenTable, highlighting the industry-wide trend of integrating services into AI interfaces.
