You're assuming that searching restaurants on yelp and then booking is a hassle. It isn't for me and for most part people I know who eat out regularly. It's almost always you go there with your friends or significant other and wait at the bar (get drinks etc) and then get the table.

To be honest, I might have booked like 3 times via Opentable in a year.

I am sure there will be a small section of people wanting to do this but I doubt you will be able to scale to make it a operational business. In addition, it is very expensive.
