Organization and Description of Business	'
	1. Organization and Description of Business
	OpenTable, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “OpenTable” or the “Company”), was incorporated on October 13, 1998, and is a Delaware corporation. The Company provides solutions that form an online network connecting reservation-taking restaurants and people who dine at those restaurants. For restaurant customers, the Company provides a proprietary Electronic Reservation Book (“ERB”) and Connect. The ERB combines proprietary software and computer hardware to deliver a solution that computerizes restaurant host-stand operations and replaces traditional pen-and-paper reservation books. The ERB streamlines and enhances a number of business-critical functions and processes for restaurants, including reservation management, table management, guest recognition and email marketing. For restaurants that do not require the operational benefits of the ERB, OpenTable offers Connect, a web-based solution that enables participating restaurants to receive reservations from OpenTable’s websites and mobile applications (“apps”) as well as the websites and mobile applications of OpenTable’s partners and restaurant customers. For diners, the Company operates popular restaurant reservation websites and mobile apps. OpenTable’s websites and mobile apps enable diners to find, choose and book tables at restaurants on the OpenTable network, overcoming the inefficiencies associated with the traditional process of reserving by phone.
	Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
	The Company operates in a dynamic industry, and accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, management of the Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the ability to accurately forecast revenues and appropriately plan its expenses; the impact of the current economic climate on its business; the ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth; the ability to effectively manage its growth; the ability to attract new restaurant customers; the ability to increase the number of visitors to its websites and mobile apps and convert those visitors into diners; and the ability to retain existing restaurant customers and diners or encourage repeat reservations.

	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of Consolidation
	These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OpenTable, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as filed on February 26, 2013 with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP, including notes to the consolidated financial statements.
	The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s statement of financial position at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. All references to September 30, 2013 or to the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
	Acquisition of Foodspotting, Inc.
	In February 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Foodspotting, Inc., a provider of a mobile app for finding and sharing photos of food, for a purchase price of $10,100,000 in cash. The Company recorded $6,227,000 of goodwill and $4,300,000 of developed technology which is being amortized over two years. The Company has included the effects of the transaction within the results of operations prospectively from February 6, 2013, the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information for this business combination has not been presented, as the effects were not material to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.
	Acquisition of JustChalo
	In June 2013, the Company acquired JustChalo Inc., a mobile technology company, for a purchase price of $11,000,000, of which $2,300,000 was paid in cash and the remainder through the issuance of 121,909 shares of common stock and an option to purchase 6,478 shares of common stock. The Company recorded $9,644,000 of goodwill and $1,200,000 of developed technology which is being amortized over two years. The Company has included the effects of the transaction within the results of operations prospectively from June 10, 2013, the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information for this business combination has not been presented, as the effects were not material to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.
	Acquisition of Rezbook
	In July 2013, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Rezbook business from Urbanspoon, an operating business of IAC/InterActiveCorp, for $12,000,000 in cash. Rezbook is a reservation management system for restaurants. The Company recorded $7,683,000 of goodwill in connection with this acquisition. Additionally, the Company recorded $3,000,000 in customer relationships and $1,400,000 of developed technology which are being amortized over five and two years, respectively. The Company has included the effects of the transaction within the results of operations prospectively from July 31, 2013, the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information for this business combination has not been presented, as the effects were not material to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company believes that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective that will have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

	As of December 31, 2012, certain investments with a total estimated fair value of $487,000 had maturity dates of greater than one year but less than five years. As of September 30, 2013, there were no investments that had maturity dates of greater than one year.
	The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets:
		September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
		Aggregate						Aggregate
		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2

	Total short-term investments	$	12,283,000	$	—	$	12,283,000	$	733,000	$	—	$	733,000
	The Company chose not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by ASC Topic 825—Financial Instruments for its financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. Therefore, financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value, such as accounts payable, are still reported at their carrying values.

	Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from one to four years. Amortization of intangible assets was $1,488,000 and $1,089,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3,604,000 and $3,038,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangibles subject to amortization, estimated future annual amortization expense is as follows: 2013 (remainder): $1,243,000; 2014: $4,695,000; 2015: $1,690,000; 2016: $600,000; 2017: $600,000 and 2018: 350,000. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Instead, they are reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The Company has defined its annual intangible impairment evaluation date as August 31. The Company performed its annual intangible impairment evaluation as of August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of the indefinite life intangible assets did not exceed the fair value. Additionally, there was no impairment of indefinite life intangible assets as of December 31, 2012 or September 30, 2013.
	For the annual impairment analysis, goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level. The evaluation for impairment is performed by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company has defined its annual goodwill impairment evaluation date as August 31. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of goodwill did not exceed the fair value of either reporting units. Additionally, there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2012 or September 30, 2013.

	5. Commitments and Contingencies
	Contractual Obligations
	The Company leases its facilities under operating leases. These leases expire at various dates through 2020. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
	In September 2012, the Company entered into a new lease for its primary office space in San Francisco, California, which expires in 2020. In connection with the lease, the property owner provided a lease inducement to the Company in the form of a $2.4 million tenant improvement allowance. Construction was completed and the Company moved into the new office space in April 2013. The leasehold improvement asset and the lease incentive liability are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as depreciation expense and as an offset to rent expense, respectively. Effective as of May 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to its primary office space lease for additional space.
	Litigation
	The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	Treasury Stock
	In November 2011, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common stock.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company purchased 221,763 shares of stock for $8,710,000 (including commissions) under this share repurchase program. This share repurchase program was completed in January 2012.
	In August 2012, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to an additional $50 million of its outstanding common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased 402,955 shares of stock for $23,562,000 (including commissions) under this share repurchase program.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under Topic 718—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which requires compensation costs related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value.
	Stock Options
	Under Topic 718, the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	The following table summarizes the assumptions relating to the Company’s stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively:
		Three Months			Nine Months
		Ended			Ended
		September 30,			September 30,

	Expected term, in years	6.08		6.02-6.08	5.50-6.08	5.27-6.55
	The Company granted 47,097 and 214,572 stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 179,068 and 1,425,481 stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $2,873,000 and $3,562,000 for three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $9,442,000 and $13,461,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Restricted Stock Units
	The Company began granting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its employees in November 2010. The cost of RSUs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest and become exercisable annually, based on a one to four year total vesting term. Stock-based compensation expense is amortized using a graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service period.
	The Company granted 23,561 and 24,358 RSUs during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 202,227 and 120,155 RSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $1,797,000 and $1,348,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3,099,000 and $2,626,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Excess Tax Benefits
	Topic 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $4,132,000 and $1,802,000, respectively, of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and $5,351,000 and $9,750,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	8. Income Taxes
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2,571,000 and $10,112,000, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 25% and 30% in each respective period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3,253,000 and $8,989,000, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 35% in each respective period. The expected tax provision (derived from applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s income before income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013) differed from the Company’s recorded income tax provision primarily due to discrete items resulting from the reinstatement of the 2012 federal research and development tax credit in January 2013 and the expiration of a statute of limitations on previously filed returns, the remeasurement of deferred taxes previously recorded upon the acquisition of toptable.co.uk Ltd., now known as OpenTable International Limited (“toptable”), and certain foreign provision to return true-ups. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of the effective tax rate that may be expected for fiscal year 2013.
	Topic 740—Income Taxes prescribes that a tax position is required to meet a minimum recognition threshold before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $17,401,000 and $18,362,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded $535,000 and $777,000, respectively, of accrued interest. No significant penalties have been recorded to date.
