In this case it appears open table is limiting data access to third parties (I'm surprised this wasn't already in place).

I'm not sure what data OpenTable has or what they are now requesting restaurants pay to share.

Someone that works in the industry probably knows better, but OpenTable has your full history of your dining experiences booked through them. What restaurants you frequent, how often, what time you go, how large your party was, how often you failed to show up.

I believe when you booked a reservation the restaurant got to see all of this.
