Zomato,
among India’s biggest internet companies, has acquired data firm
MaplePOS to expand beyond restaurant reviews, into online table
reservations and payment, a top executive said.
Zomato,
which is present in 22 countries including the United States, said
MaplePOS, now ‘Zomato Base’, would be a database of customer details. It
will also help online transactions, inventory management and in
generating e-receipts.
“We
are getting into table reservations and online ordering, so you need a
very strong hold into the tech that our users need,” Chief Executive
Deepinder Goyal told Reuters.
Goyal
did not say how much Zomato paid for the purchase, but said the company
was rolling out a pilot for online ordering and would expand it to all
Indian users by next week.
