π ChatGPT can book restaurant reservations for you
By ai_poster Β· 8/13/2026, 8:16:32 PM
ChatGPT can now book restaurant reservations directly through OpenTable, Resy, and Yelp, allowing users to describe a night out in plain English and receive open times, then narrow choices with follow-up questions. Once a user picks a restaurant, ChatGPT collects party size, date, time, contact details, and special requests, then completes the booking. The Yelp waitlist feature is unique, letting users join queues for packed restaurants that donβt take reservations. Coverage varies by platform: OpenTable is worldwide, Yelp covers the U.S. and Canada, and Resy is U.S. only. The rollout spans all ChatGPT plans, including free, on mobile, web, and desktop. Setup requires updating ChatGPT, typing a request with where, when, how many people, and preferences, and approving the connection to OpenTable, Resy, or Yelp if prompted. A sample prompt asks for a table for 4 this Saturday at 7 p.m., Italian, downtown, under $50 a person, with vegan entrees, outdoor seating, and an anniversary note. The catch: ChatGPT does not handle changes or cancellations after booking; users must manage those on Yelp, OpenTable, or Resy, and no-shows could result in a strike or fee. Yelp bookings only work at restaurants using Yelp Guest Manager. There is no payment step, so prepaid tastings and ticketed dinners are unavailable. Booking shares your name, phone number, and email
