this is mostly speculation, but my guess based on experience is that most places only allow opentable to book one or two tables per time slot. i've been rejected several times by a few places and instead walked in to a not particularly crowded place.

Having found several restaurants with no OT availability to have reservations available upon calling, I think this is the case.

I'm pretty sure a lot of restaurants set aside a certain amount of tables/times as OT inventory.
