Over the last week I've gotten several pitches from companies taking a new twist on OpenTable's business. One of two things has happened: Either there's a new flurry of activity around the restaurant reservation/recommendation/lead generation space or having groused about OpenTable and recently posed a question on whether they should be disrupted, I've just become the go-to target for anyone launching a business in this space. Either way if you're a restauranteur looking for a better way, watch this space, because the topic will keep coming up. One pitch that caught my attention was Tripleseat, and the company is announcing a $500,000 round of funding later today from Omaha-based Dundee Venture Capital. (More on that round in a second.) TripleSeat isn't really trying to be an "OpenTable killer." It's focused on streamlining the experience of booking and organizing private events, not just one-off restaurant reservations. And its business is not limited to restaurants. Its customers include other places you'd have events like large hotel chains, bowling alleys and boats. (Note to TechCrunch CEO Heather Harde: Can we have our Christmas party on a boat? I'm envisioning something like the one above, and Arrington wearing a hat like Michael Scott in the Booze Cruise episode of The Office.)
