Hailo integrates API with Bookatable to ease restaurant taxi bookings
Following an integration with Bookatable's cloud-based table reservation service, restaurants can now book one of Hailo's 15,000 strong fleet of London black cabs on behalf of restaurant goers at the push of a button.
The first phase of the integration will see Bookatable roll out the facility to their "top-tier" restaurants, with another 1,500 to go live by the end of the summer.
Jon Moore, chief product officer at Hailo, said: "Integrating our API with market-leading service providers like Bookatable helps to extend the great Hailo experience to a highly relevant audience in a context where getting a safe, fast and reliable journey home really matters."
Joe Steele, CEO at Bookatable, said: "We're always looking to make life easier for our restaurant staff and their customers, so our integration with Hailo allows us to offer a greater level of service, as well as provide simplicity for waiting staff."
Hailo, which is active in the UK, Ireland, Japan, Singapore and Spain, recently axed a number of its London technical team, which the firm said would help it focus on increasing its market share against the likes of larger rival Uber.
