NEW YORK, June 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Wix (Nasdaq: WIX), a leading global SaaS platform to
create, manage and grow an online presence, today announced the
launch of Dine by Wix, a native mobile app for customers to
engage and transact including ordering food and making reservations
with any restaurant on the Wix Restaurants platform. The extension
to mobile furthers Wix's vision of delivering a complete operating
system for business owners, ensuring their online
success.
The restaurant industry has experienced a digital acceleration
over the past year as online ordering has significantly increased.
Wix's recent data indicates that around 65% of online orders come
from mobile web browsing. To help restaurant owners adapt to the
shift to mobile, Wix is extending the Wix Restaurants offering to
provide a native mobile app solution providing restaurant owners an
additional sales channel and the ability to seamlessly engage with
customers.
Every restaurant owner has automatic access to Dine by Wix, a
customized app tailored to the restaurants' needs. Customers can
easily place orders for pick up or delivery and make reservations,
all through the mobile app. The app serves as a foundation for
advanced customer experiences integrated into the Wix Restaurants
platform, including loyalty programs, offers, reservations and
more.
"By expanding the Wix Restaurant offering to mobile, we're
empowering restaurant owners to get in touch with their customers
directly with no middle man, completely commission free," said
Ronny Elkayam, SVP of Mobile,
App Market & Strategic Products
at Wix. "Dine by Wix gives restaurants a competitive edge,
providing a direct sales channel to customers, ultimately leading
to increased loyalty and repeat sales. We look forward to
continuing adding value to restaurant businesses built on
Wix."
Customers benefit from native app capabilities including live
chat and direct call options, automatic reservation reminders
including SMS texts and calendar invites, order history, persistent
login for quick access and saved payment methods. The app comes at
no additional cost for Wix users and customers and is available on
iOS and Android.
This new release is another step in advancing the Wix
Restaurants offering. Wix recently acquired SpeedEtab, an
advanced online ordering solution allowing restaurants to
seamlessly manage online and offline orders in one place.
Following the release of Spaces by Wix, a dedicated app for
customers of business owners, Dine by Wix is the next app released
as part of Wix's native mobile app series.
