Eminent online restaurant reservation service OpenTable is being bought by airline ticket reservation giant Priceline for a whopping US $2.6 biillion. Priceline, which leads the market for flight, hotel and car rental reservations will be able to add restaurant reservations to their menu of services.

OpenTable's been around since the early days of the Internet as an online reservation service, they also have a massive database of user ratings and reviews spanning close to 15 years and they've branched out into guest management, table mangement and seating, POS integration as well as reports and even mobile payments.
