For coordinating group dinners after academic conferences, OpenTable presents a well-researched design. The algorithm is surprisingly elegant in how it presents available time slots and integrates restaurant reviews. I find the cross-platform compatibility particularly useful, as it simplifies sharing reservation details with colleagues, regardless of their device preferences. The ability to save preferred restaurants is also intellectually satisfying, especially when revisiting locations for annual conferences. It's a novel approach to an old problem, making the whole process pedagogically sound and less prone to errors.
