Product overview
The service allows users to discover restaurants, search for available time slots and reserve a table online. The reservation is synced in real-time to Restaurant Manager by Eat, a reservation system installed at the restaurant. After the reservation is complete, the user receives a confirmation email and SMS, and is able to share the reservation details with friends, update or cancel the reservation and book an Uber to the restaurant.[11] Eat App offers restaurants a reservation system that replaces the traditional pen and paper method, to allow for a digital record of all reservations, all guests that have previously visited the restaurant, as well as analytics on the performance of the restaurant.
