Toptable (styled toptable but now re-branded as OpenTable) is an online restaurant booker covering the UK as well as major cities in Europe and New York City. Toptable was founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Karen Hanton for restaurant owners to advertise their venues and book customers directly. Toptable sat over 1.5 million diners in 2006 when it completed its first full year. Toptable lists more than 5,000 restaurants in the UK, plus Paris, Dublin, and New York, providing online menus, reviews and 360° images of each restaurant. Diners can read and compare information about restaurants before their table booking online. Today, 2.3 million visitors view the Toptable website each month and, in February 2010, a dedicated Toptable iPhone app was launched.〔(Growing Business Success Stories: Toptable )〕 The toptable Android app has been available, at least since Sep 2013〔http://www.appbrain.com/app/toptable-restaurant-bookings/com.toptable〕 Toptable also provides a restaurant booking engine for Time Out, British Airways, The Guardian, The Times Online, Visit London and View London.
