Does OpenTable hire felons?

To that end, OpenTable may be accepting of past convictions if you are able to demonstrate that you have owned up to your mistakes and have taken steps to grow personally and professionally.

Keep in mind that OpenTable may perform a background check prior to an offer of employment (24% of employees reported that a background check was required).

This background check will look for misdemeanor and felony convictions at both the state and federal levels. If the crime is violent in nature or related to theft, this may affect what areas of the company you are considered for employment.

On your resume, be sure to account for all prior work history that is applicable to the job you are applying for. Be honest about where that work history came from (even if it came from a time in prison).

Sell them on the fact that they don't have to train you and play up all skills and education you have that are relevant to the position.

If you get the interview, be honest about your past and your convictions. They will be more likely to give you a chance than if they find out after the fact.
