OpenClaw Automates Restaurant Bookings with OpenTable Skill
An OpenClaw user has automated their restaurant booking process by creating a custom skill for the OpenTable reservation platform. The setup involves logging OpenClaw into a personal OpenTable account and configuring it to read dining preferences from a markdown file.
How It Works
The user followed these specific steps based on the source:
- Logged OpenClaw into their personal OpenTable account.
- Created a custom "OpenTable booking skill" within OpenClaw.
- Configured OpenClaw to read preferences from a file named
food.mdto understand what types of restaurants to book. - The agent now automatically searches for and books restaurants based on those preferences.
Practical Results
The user reports that OpenClaw has successfully booked multiple restaurants, specifically mentioning Bocconcino, OITA, and Trishna. The automation has booked their Saturday night dates through April 11th, eliminating what was previously a weekly manual task of finding restaurants for weekend dates.
This type of automation is particularly useful for developers who want to delegate repetitive personal tasks to their AI coding agents. The approach demonstrates how custom skills can extend OpenClaw's capabilities beyond coding tasks into practical life automation.
The user is now considering what other booking tasks could be automated using similar skill-based approaches.
