The online dining reservation system TableGrabber provides real time update of table availability to diners, which in turn cut the need to call or wait with your customers outside the restaurant and actually make restaurant reservation on the fly. To make this happen, TableGrabber provides restaurants with a cloud-based reservation system, which restaurants use to efficiently manage their reservations, guest lists, and optimize their revenues. The system is simple and easy to use and is designed to replace the existing pen & paper booking process that is currently used at most restaurants.
The system also provides the restaurant managers an easy to use tool to promote special events, deals, and any other offers that they would like to extend to their diners. The system is not only a boon for diners, but it’s also an effective tool for restaurants to fill empty tables, streamline costs, maximize revenues, and garner a loyal customer base.
The startup is founded by graduates from prestigious institutes like Cornell, Harvard and Le Roche College. The Co-founder of TableGrabber Pawan Marwaha said - "The process was quite stringent. All applications were evaluated by Silicon Valley experts and a Chilean Innovation board that focused on global mindsets and worldwide potential. Being part of the Microsoft Accelerator definitely helped us achieve both".
