We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about whether the Recess Paging System will work with OpenTable. The short answer — YES.
We designed Recess Paging System to work similarly to traditional restaurant paging systems so that you wouldn’t need to change existing operational workflow.
Here’s how it works –
Each guest that is entered into the paging system is assigned a unique guest number.

- Enter the guest just as you normally would into OpenTable, but don’t close the window.
- Now enter their phone number into the Recess Paging System.
- After you create a new guest in the paging system, add the unique guest number into the note field in OpenTable.
- When you’re ready to page your guest, use the OpenTable note field as a reference. Scroll to the correct customer in Recess Paging System and hit Send Page.
That’s it! Recess Paging System replicates the workflow of a traditional paging system and keeps the process simple.
