Google associates with Dineout to enable restaurant reservations via Google Maps

Dineout has partnered with Google to enhance the user experience by adding more features to its navigation engine, Google Maps, with the help of technology powered by Dineout.

Through the ‘Offers’ shortcut on Google maps, users will now have more actions to explore within Google Maps by discovering dining out options near them, choosing from the available offers at restaurants and further reserve a table for their preferred time and date.

The new service can be leveraged by Google Maps users across more than 15,000 Dineout partner restaurants in 17 cities.

Ankit Mehrotra, CEO & Co-Founder, Dineout, said, “Our association with Google Maps is a milestone for us and brings us one step closer to providing seamless dining out experience along with empowering restaurants to be tech-enabled in India. With their help, we are co-creating an ecosystem that will help two of our biggest stakeholders- consumers and restaurants at multiple levels.”

“Understanding the demand of visual representation and easy accessibility, we plan to offer a seamless, more convenient and enjoyable experience to our consumers. Keeping our stakeholders at the forefront of this partnership, we plan to integrate this seamlessly into Google Maps on desktop and mobile,” he added.

Chandu Thota, Director of Google Maps, stated, “At Google Maps, we're working hard to help everyone explore their world. Two months ago we launched 'Offers', an India-first feature to help people discover local deals. Today, we'd like to welcome Dineout to this experience, which will offer even more choices for diners and merchants alike.”
