Restaurant reservation platform OpenTable says that all reviews on the platform will no longer be fully anonymous starting May 22nd and will now show members' profile pictures and first names.
"At OpenTable, we strive to build a community in which diners can help other diners discover new restaurants, and reviews are a big part of that," reads the OpenTable email seen by BleepingComputer.
"To build on the credibility of our review program, starting May 22, 2024, OpenTable will begin displaying diner first names and profile photos on all diner reviews. This update will also apply to past reviews."
Under this new policy change, a member's first name and profile picture will now be displayed in new and past reviews.
OpenTable says diners have contributed over 136 million reviews on the platform, sharing their dining experience with other members.
OpenTable has not provided a setting allowing you to remain anonymous when making reviews.
