CityEats Expands Into Chicago

NEW YORK, NY - CityEats, an online dining discovery and reservations platform, today announced its continued expansion with the launch of its service in Chicago. CityEats has partnered with some of the city's finest restaurants, including La Sirena Clandestina, Brindille and City Winery, to provide a single source for free, instant reservations and original editorial content, including professionally produced food photography, restaurant profiles and insider tips and recommendations.

"Restaurants are seeking more affordable and advanced reservation solutions," says Sameer Deen, President of CityEats. "Clearly the online reservations space is hot right now, with new players following our lead in deploying next-generation mobile technology for restaurants. But only CityEats pairs this with elegant, entertaining editorial to help consumers find the best restaurant before they book it."

Chicago was a natural next step for CityEats. "Chicago is one of the hottest restaurant scenes in the country," says Erin Hartigan, who oversees CityEats' national editorial team. "We've worked with some of the city's best-known and most knowledgeable food writers to craft reviews of each restaurant, including insider tips and recommendations on the very best dishes to order."

CityEats already has a presence in other cities across the US, including Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York, Miami, New Orleans and Phoenix.

For restaurants, CityEats offers TableSaver, a cloud-based customer and table management platform that costs less than traditional reservation services. Using mobile and cloud-based technology, CityEats gives restaurants the freedom to manage their entire restaurant on an iPad or laptop. These tools arm restaurants with real-time data that helps them streamline operations in new ways. And for a busy restaurant, CityEats.com also offers waitlist technology that can send a text message to alert diners to when their table is ready.
