Dining survey platform Opinionated About Dining (OAD) has launched packages on its booking solution OAD Travel, which claims to be the first integrated hotel and restaurant booking platform.

OAD Travel has begun to offer packages to Spain’s major culinary destinations including the Mandarin Oriental (Madrid), the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Arts (Barcelona) and the Hotel Maria Cristina (San Sebastian) for trips commencing in February 2024.

Plans for packages in London, Paris and Copenhagen, among other popular dining destinations, are to be announced later in 2024.

When booking a package through the OAD Travel platform, guests pay the standard published rate for their hotel room and obtain reservations at their selected restaurants at no further cost.

Restaurant bookings include a minimum spend for beverages plus a choice of tasting menus which are paid for in full on booking.

OAD Travel provides credit for food and services in the amount specified in the trip package details. If a guest adds further hotel services, beverages, foods or articles not included in their package, they pay the restaurant or hotel directly.

OAD Travel founder Steve Plotnicki commented: “We not only take the headache out of getting bucket-list dining reservations, but we also take care of accommodation at the finest hotels in town without adding mark-ups that would short-change either our guests or restaurant partners.”
