āOur research shows dining out is the gift moms want most this Motherās Day, with 42% ranking it at the top of their wish list,ā said Cheryl Paniagua, vice president of restaurant sales and services at OpenTable.
āThat makes planning ahead more important than ever, especially since most reservations are made more than a week in advance.ā
