Opentable.com

Opentable.com, a website that provides restaurant management system for restaurateurs, is also known as ERB (Electronic Reservation Book). It is so unique that, in Malaysia, we can’t find any similar websites that is operating with this kind of model.

After I’ve been to the website, I have some ideas on the means and way to run a website, similar to opentable.com but I will be providing more functions to the surfers and restaurateurs.
I will make a website that not only contains the reservation function, but also the e-order and payment function.

Getting a good and special domain name together with a great slogan is an important beginning. Then, coming up with a well-designed layout which provides easy navigation and the provision of a highly securable system to surfers and restaurateurs will make the website more attractive and impressive.

Besides, I will design a system that works as below:

Firstly, potential customers can to make reservation through the website for their desired restaurant.

Next, customers can view the brief overview of the restaurant, restaurant’s menu, and special courses for the day, or any promotion or event available during the time.

After customers have made up their mind, they can select the time and date to dine in.
After that, we also allow customers to choose the location of their seat; for example, smoking or non-smoking area.

Moreover, customer can order their dishes and drinks with a few clicks, and leave some important message to the restaurant.

Lastly, customer can settle their bills online with a credit card.

The whole process can be done in a very easy and convenient way. Compare to Opentable.com, this website is containing more functions, such as e-payment.

(If I really successfully open this website, I will treat Sir/Miss to dine in ^^)
