TableApp
Online restaurant booking site TableApp allows you to make reservations online at your favourite restaurant without having to phone the restaurant repeatedly during their peak periods.
With up to 80 restaurants available on their app, it is no surprise that only after eight months, the app hit 10,000 diners. Their popularity is evident in malls like Starhill Gallery, where up to 80% of their restaurants can be found on the TableApp platform.
TableApp’s partner with Groupon allows you to also redeem vouchers. Simply create an account on the app to make reservations and for every booking that you make, points will be awarded which can then be redeemed in the form of vouchers. It’s a win-win situation. You can reserve a table at your favourite restaurant without any hassle while at the same time work towards getting vouchers!
