OpenTable State of the Restaurant Industry by City--Today v. 2019 (comparison, Boston, states)

[elchevere]

"In March 2020, OpenTable launched the State of the Industry site to illustrate how COVID-19 has been impacting restaurants around the globe. More than a year later, the data from restaurants on our platform continues to tell a powerful story - identifying moments of recovery as cities, states, and countries reopen."

Following shows a comparison by city of seated diners from online, phone, and walk in reservations from August 2022 MTD vs. same period 2019 (pre Covid).

Among the leaders of the recovery: Miami, Las Vegas, Austin, Scottsdale, Tampa, Nashville, Cincinnati, and San Antonio.

sorry, URL above takes you only to the main page (just click on "United States" and then "City" in the drop down menus to see individual US city results--perhaps someone else might want to import the spreadsheet with the results.

Super interesting data!

Of the leaders you listed, the only one I'd say is a surprise is Cincinnati.

I wonder what is driving that recovery? Since Cincinnati does not have the tourist and high overall growth of the other cities listed.

Also, sidenote, the UX design of that page is clunky as hell. Needs a total reboot.

Not sure what’s more surprising to me: the fact that OpenTable presents data for Cambridge separately from Boston or that the %s are actually pretty different between the two cities.
