Users can Discover, Reserve and Order food through YP Dine in
Apple Maps
MONTREAL, Jan. 19, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Yellow Pages
(TSX:Y), a leading digital media and marketing solutions company,
announced today the integration of YP Dine into Apple Maps to make
restaurant reservations simpler than ever for those seeking a
nearby place to eat. YP Dine is Yellow Pages' award winning food
and dining digital experience serving both Canadian foodies with
its discovery, reservation and ordering tools, and restauranteurs
with its table booking and optimization solutions.
"Yellow Pages is constantly striving towards creating a better
experience for users, while generating value for our customers"
said Matthieu Houle, Vice-President,
Digital Media of Yellow Pages. "Along with providing key business
information for Apple Maps' users, reservations will now only be a
click away, ultimately creating a syndicated and simplified booking
experience for restaurant seekers, and optimizing the
restauranteurs' opportunities to get more footsteps into their
doors."
The YP Dine integration will appear when users click on a
restaurant, revealing additional information about the business
such as address, phone number, website, hours of operation, and
ratings and reviews provided from Yellow Pages' database. For
Canadian restauranteurs, this translates in a greater visibility
and an extension of their reservation solution to Apple users.
