UrbanSpoon announced a competing restaurant reservation service earlier this year: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/urbanspoon_challenges_opentable_with_rezbook.php http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/urbanspoon_challenges_o...
Their pricing model is described as $99/mo + $1/reservation, which seems more reasonable than OpenTable's reportedly high fees. Also, UrbanSpoon seems uniquely positioned to replace OpenTable, since they already have users and restaurant data.
