The integration is the hardest part of this idea. There are a couple of different ways to go and I'm still not sure exactly which is best. I'm debating between integration with other software suites, building a small POS layer or making it easy for courses to handle it manually themselves. I'd like to do one thing really well, but we may need to broaden our horizons a bit.

You're region is lucky then. In my region every course uses a different system.

I would use Clickpass on top of Open ID, Clickpass seems fairly easy to understand, even if you don't fully get all the details.

why require an account?

with respect to the POS system, i'm curious on how opentable operates. does it interact with the various restaurant POS systems? seems like whatever they're doing works, and might be something to consider trying to emulate.

the main reason for an account is to allow edits, maybe there is a way around accounts though.

you're right about opentable, i'll take a look.
