Why does Yelp need access to my contact data?

I work with Reservation Genie and we haven’t been focusing on mobile apps so much as creating ways for our clients to book free reservations and lower their reservation invoices. The thing that amazes me about deals like this with Yelp is that restaurants don’t really want it. Their invoices are going up, but they’re not getting more customers. Open Table has just figured out a way to charge them for traffic from places that used to be free. When I talk to our clients that use Open Table they feel completely trapped. They’re frustrated their invoices are going up, but scared to leave them because they can’t tell what they can reproduce with tools like our free website tracking link that lets them book reservations from any website without generating cover fees. Here’s a link to video about it. http://www.reservationgenie.com/video_demos/website_tracking_link

I have searched the neighborhood and yet to find a restaurant that is on open table.

I find Yelp to be no better….so why have it on the phone.

They weren’t “cheap” restaurants, so I only go to them about once a year. Therefore, it didn’t make sense to leave the app on my phone. Adding OT function to Yelp is smart.

Not sure if they have fixed permissions recently, but just wanted to warn.

Or I guess I could just use it to book a spot at the waffle house :)
