OpenTable mobile payments launch in Washington, D.C.
San Francisco –- The Pay with OpenTable mobile payment service from online reservation provider OpenTable, a subsidiary of The Priceline Group, is now available in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. To pay with OpenTable, diners who book at participating restaurants add a credit card in the OpenTable iPhone app before they dine and can then view and pay their check with a few taps.
There's no separate app to download, no codes to enter, and no scanning or barcodes involved. In addition to Washington, D.C., Pay with OpenTable is currently available in New York City and San Francisco. OpenTable plans to roll out the feature across the nation by introducing it to a total of 20 cities before year end.
