FORTUNE — Groupon (GRPN) yesterday acquired Savored, a digital provider of restaurant reservations and reviews, in a move that seemed designed to muscle in a bit on OpenTable’s (GRPN) turf.

No financial terms were disclosed, but Fortune has learned that the purchase price was between $15 million and $20 million (including earn-outs). At least some of it was paid in cash.

New York-based Savored not only helps Groupon break into the restaurant reservations business, but also expands its meal discounting options. Most Groupon’s require users to buy food up-front, while Savored lets users get discounts at the time of purchase.

Since being founded in 2010 as VillageVines, Savored had raised nearly $4 million in VC funding from GrandBanks Capital, Hearst Interactive Media, High Peaks Venture Partners and Michael Lazerow
