eTender app review: making the job of a restauranteur easier 2021

Reviews

Introduction

We've come across an app that has a very specific and rather unique purpose, and it's these reasons that make it stand out. The eTender app has been created for your iPad and is meant to be used by restaurant owners who are searching for a way to make their reservation system more streamlined, organized, and fluid.

This iPhone business app welcomes a restaurateur to the digital age in a big way by offering tools and features that only an app can make possible.

By using this business app, you'll be able to manage all the table reservations coming into your restaurant, and if you happen to have a lot of them then this app becomes even more important. As a restaurant owner, you understand better than anyone how important good service is.

A happy customer is one that will come back and tell others about their experience. An unhappy customer will never return and seemingly tell the world about their negative experience.

Messing up table reservations is not something you want to deal with, which is why a reliable and user-friendly system such as eTender is so important to your business.

Keep reading our eTender app review to see if this is one of the best iPhone apps for business.

Why eTender was Developed

So you may be asking yourself why the need for this app? After all, there are reservation management systems that exist already and perhaps you use them.

What eTender attempts to do is offer something unique and ensure that all your needs and requests are met. eTender, which has been developed by eTender BV, was founded back in 2006.

It took two years from that point to then complete an app that was meant to be used for one particular restaurant that was located in Amsterdam. Since then, it has really caught on and flourished as restaurant owners realize the potential it offers.

"We believe that you do not want to use a reservation management system that is owned by a commercial booking site," states the developer. "By meeting only your wishes and needs, we are improving the quality of our services for your business and that makes a difference."

Another big aspect is that developers were able to create this offering and make it commission free. The system works in real-time and is available 24/7, which means that it's always convenient for guests to book a reservation. As developers explain, the app allows you to "stay in control and create your own booking network".

It's more than just reservations, you can use this for your walk-in customers and call-in’s as you drag and drop them into the seating plan.

There is also a social aspect of this app, which in today's business world is an absolute necessity. Through the app you'll be able to share to Facebook what your availability is.
