## Verdicts

**Chope.** Chope is a diner-facing restaurant booking site and app in Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket, Jakarta and Bali, owned by Grab, with free bookings and app releases in September 2026. No public API or MCP server lets an outside agent search or book, and restaurant integrations run through partners such as TableCheck and SevenRooms by arrangement.

**OpenTable APIs.** The public documentation covers diner-side and venue-side booking in detail, with slot locks, policy endpoints, error tables and an X-Request-Id header for safe retries. Access needs partner approval and a contract, rate limits and prices are not published, and the status page and main website could not be read.

## Before you call either

### Chope

1. Don't plan to call Chope from another agent. Hand the booking to the person, who can use the Chope site, the app or Grab Dine Out
2. For a restaurant on Chope that also uses TableCheck or SevenRooms, check whether that platform's API covers the venue
3. Tell the person that some restaurants ask for a deposit, which depends on the restaurant, day and party size

### OpenTable APIs

1. Lock the slot before calling Make Reservation, since the lock and its reservation_token expire within 5 minutes
2. Send a unique X-Request-Id on every POST, PUT and PATCH so a retried booking is not duplicated
3. Fetch booking and cancellation policies before booking and show any deposit, hold or service fee to the diner
4. Use the Consumer API for diner bookings and the In-House Booking API only for a restaurant's own voice or phone channel
5. Ask the OpenTable representative for the rate limit of each endpoint before going live
