Hinge and OpenTable came together to create the Date Night Matchmaker, which is designed to help dating app users find the perfect spot for a date. The curated Date Night guide shares tools for planning a date, lists of top restaurants and cafes and a handy matchmaking feature that makes a personalized venue recommendation that can be booked with ease.
With the Date Night Matchmaker, users begin by setting a budget, then selecting the type of cuisine they are interested based on options like Italian, American, seafood, comfort food and more. Then, the results can get even more specific by choosing the desired atmosphere, as some daters will like spots that are more "Hip & Happening" than "Quiet & Cozy."
