For me, opentable pretty much dominates as the one stop for restaurant reservations and makes my dinner date planning go much faster when used together with yelp for those nights we want to go somewhere nice and impossible to get seated reasonably without a reservation. But I'm in Los Angeles (and a quick glance shows 300+ restaurants on opentable within a half hour driving distance, and around 700 in the general LA/OC area). However, most restaurants out there are probably not large or popular enough that you'll want or need to make a reservation, and you can just walk right in and get seated. Among the ones interested in doing reservations for more than just special occasions and large groups, even less would have to be interested in the hardware, software, training and more that they need to work with opentable. And then customers have to be interested in making reservations there in the first place. Obviously there are a lot more than 59 restaurants in Oregon and 700 in Los Angeles, but the number isn't as small as it seems at first glance when considering the number of restaurants that benefit from such a service.
