In July 2022, more than 1,200 diners in the UK and Ireland weighed in on their summer travel and dining plans. OpenTable surveyed people to learn how and why they’re travelling this year, how often they visit restaurants, and whether they’re willing to pay a deposit to secure a reservation.
This diner data provides insights you need to attract hungry tourists and bring locals through the door as well. If no-shows are an issue, get the hard numbers to help you decide if and when to request deposits to secure reservations.
We hope these insights—as well as the daily updated data on our State of the Industry hub—give you the information you need to help your business thrive.
