OpenTable Inc. announced that it has acquired Quickcue LLC, a provider of guest management systems for restaurants, for approximately $11.5 million in cash pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger.

The nine Quickcue team members joining OpenTable will continue to operate from its offices in Chattanooga, Tenn. OpenTable will support approximately 40 existing Quickcue customers and plans to discontinue offering the current Quickcue product to new customers while it works on its next-generation solution.

“We’re excited to welcome the talented Quickcue team to our restaurant technology group,” said Joseph Essas, chief technology officer of OpenTable. “We’re looking forward to working with the Quickcue engineering team to accelerate our efforts aimed at providing our customers with the most sophisticated mobile waitlist technology on the market and developing our next generation hospitality solutions for restaurants that are primarily walk-in, but accept reservations.”
