Paying to book a restaurant? Probably just for an event. Otherwise I don't see people paying for it. Also, what is more easy? making a simple call or using an app/website, enter payment methods, accounts, etc....?
I know there is an app for everything, but making a call is 1000 better than using any app at the moment.

- johnbenwoo 12y agoThere could be more of them with this kind of system.
- tptacek 12y agoProbably at least 5 in every major metro, and more in NYC, Chicago, and San Francisco. With the current customer perception, that is: for "destination" restaurants, like Alinea, Saison, Ko.
