Does an OpenTable listing help AI recommend your restaurant?

Ask an AI assistant 'where should I eat in [city] tonight?' and it draws on the restaurant sources it trusts — Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor and reservation platforms like OpenTable. A complete OpenTable profile with cuisine, hours, price range and reviews gives models a clean, structured record and a booking signal that reinforces you as a real, active restaurant. It's one of the citations that decides whether you're in the shortlist AI names.
