| Europe’s largest online reservation service for restaurants |
Livebookings, with customers, partners, and employees in 23 countries, is Europe’s largest online marketing and reservations service for the restaurant industry. The company works with restaurants such as Gordon Ramsay Holdings, Tantris, East, Grill, Mathias Dahlgren Matbaren, Mavrommatis, and Pedro Larumbe to enable them to secure and manage table reservations online. Through the The Livebookings Network, the company also provides restaurateurs access to customers that would otherwise be difficult to reach. The network consists of over 300 local, national, and international websites like lastminute.com, Ticketmaster, Yell.com, and new websites such as Bookatable.com, which collectively reach over 200 million potential diners. Although Livebookings has grown rapidly since it was founded, there is still an enormous growth potential in Europe and beyond: Only a minority of restaurants are currently using online reservation tools. Such a growth potential, unique technology, and an experienced management team convinced Wellington Partners to lead a $16 million financing round in September 2009.
