OpenTable has released survey findings showing that mothers and maternal figures prefer a restaurant reservation over breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day, citing messiness as the top complaint about the classic gesture, followed by the cleanup it creates. To accompany the data, the platform published its annual Top 100 Brunch Restaurants list, curated with larger tables and family-friendly options in mind. The finding is intuitive but commercially useful for OpenTable: it reframes a cultural ritual that requires nothing from the platform into one that centers a reservation.
