Abstract: A system for offer based restaurant reservations comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to: receive a request for a reservation including a set of attributes such as a date or date range, a time range, a location, a cuisine, and a party size; determine a set of available reservations based on an actual table availability for the date, time, and the party size; determine one or more offers based on the date, time, and the party size; determine an overlapping subset between the set of available reservations and the one or more offers; and provide an indication of the overlapping subset. The memory is coupled to the processor and is configured to provide the processor with instructions.
