Today, I noticed that a restaurant I manage had its OpenTable booking integration replaced with Google Assistant.
Replaced in what context? My understanding is that OpenTable still works just fine but Google is, on its end, no longer automatically referring its own users to OpenTable. I wouldn’t call that “hijacking” unless the restaurant had a prior agreement with Google.
No Available Reservations
That’s not the error message. Google says that you can’t get a reservation through Google Assistant not that there are no reservations available.
