rdf:langString Online restaurant reservations

rdf:langString Chope is a real time restaurant-reservation booking platform that connects diners with its partner restaurants. The name “Chope” was inspired by the term chope spoken colloquially in Singapore. Chope charges restaurants fixed and per-diner fees for the use of its table booking system; diners are not charged booking or cancellation fees for reservations made through Chope's system. Founded on 15 June 2011, Chope was inspired by the idea of making the restaurant reservation process simpler, seeking to address the problem of placing restaurant reservations through phone calls that could normally only be done during operating hours. As a solution, Chope provides a real-time online service for the process of table reservations. Chope was only able to secure a dozen reservations in its first week. At the time of its startup, restaurateurs and café owners had been known to be slow to adapt to technology advancements. However, aided by the rise in internet access, this trend had been slowly changing. In July 2012, Chope announced its application had grown to be used by over 1,000,000 diners.
