Airbnb rolls out in-app restaurant bookings
Airbnb has launched in-app restaurant reservations following the start of its partnership with dining app Resy.
It has started accepting in-app dining reservations in 16 US markets including New York, LA, San Francisco, Atlanta and Miami.
It covers about 650 dining venues so far.
It is targeted primarily at Airbnb customers away from home and looking for a place to dine.
Airbnb cites a Harris poll that claims two-thirds of American travelers make restaurant reservations when they’re away from home.
The company also plans to offer the service in multiple languages.
"Restaurants on Airbnb, powered by Resy, are curated and selected by Resy for their consistently high quality. They include local favorites, award winners and international destinations," the home sharing giant says.
Resy has more than 1.6 million users and has booked 25 million diners since it launched in 2014.
