Local Nights Out launches new and improved restaurant booking facility
Added: (Thu Nov 20 2008)
Local Nights Out.com the online leisure and entertainment guide has updated their restaurants page to make it easier for visitors of the site to make restaurant reservations online.
Wayne Davies, Company Director, explains the reason for the change:
“We already had the facility to book restaurants online but we were aware that our search function didn’t make it very easy to narrow down your search to an area more specific than a town. Working with Livebookings, who run the booking facility for both us and at the restaurant side, we have now implemented a much easier and more targeted search form.”
The new restaurants page not only enables the user to narrow down their search to a more targeted location but also has the option of specifying whether you are looking for a table for breakfast, lunch or dinner and/or cuisine type right from the initial search. This eliminates the possibility of displaying the results for the user only to find that the time period they are looking for is not available on the required date.
Wayne continues: “Another problem with the original restaurants page or search function was that you would get all of the results for the County or Town that was searched for regardless of whether the time you wanted to book for was available because the system didn’t know at that point when you wanted to dine. You could search for cuisine types before via the advanced search but we feel it is much more user friendly to offer this search option on the main restaurants page as we have done in this new version.”
As well as making it easier to find restaurants that meet your criteria in the UK the new search form also enables users to book restaurants overseas.
Wayne concludes: “Although Local Nights Out is aimed at the UK market we felt that as Livebookings have overseas restaurants within their network we might as well include them on the site. A lot of our existing users will no doubt go abroad whether on holiday or on business and by including the overseas restaurants on the site it just makes it easier for people to organise their trips.”
