Is REST.RUN the Future of Restaurant Dining?

Have you ever wondered what Uber would be like at restaurants? Imagine booking a table, ordering your meal, and paying the bill through an app. The whole process of dining out would be streamlined through one central app, similar to booking a taxi and paying the taxi fare through the Uber app. That's where we'll introduce REST.RUN, where Uber meets dining out. This app is currently in development and could be available in some restaurants near you very soon. We'll take a look at how this app works and some of its features, as well as how it can benefit restaurant guests and restaurant owners.

What is REST.RUN?

REST.RUN is a mobile app for iOS and Android to book a table, order food, and pay the bill for your next restaurant visit. The idea is that it limits the unnecessary waiting time that guests often face when trying to book a table over the phone, waiting for the server to take their order, and waiting to pay the bill. REST.RUN puts everything in one central place. You can see all the restaurants near you and choose where you'd like to go by browsing the online menu. Once you've chosen the restaurant, you can book a table on the app, order your food on the app, and finally pay the bill with online payment. It streamlines the restaurant experience and makes paying for food with friends easier with the shared payment options.

Why did REST.RUN start?

The main features

There are 3 main features to the app that really make it stand out.

1. Search restaurants by criteria. To find a restaurant on the REST.RUN app, you can filter and search by selected criteria. This includes restaurants with events taking place, promotions or discounts on offer, and updates to the menu.
2. Ordering and paying on the app. Everything is done centrally on the app; you can view menus, book tables, order food, and pay the bill.
3. Notifications. The REST.RUN app will give you notifications about your favorite restaurants or restaurants you might like to visit.

Benefits of REST.RUN

REST.RUN benefits restaurant guests as everything can be done on one app, making the process quicker and easier. The notifications and filtering options mean you can always find the best deals or new menus you might want to try. The app can tell you about a restaurant promotion near you that you might be interested in. REST.RUN is also beneficial for restaurant owners because it collects data and insight about restaurant guests. The data can help you send offers and promotions to new guests who might be interested in your restaurant. It also helps streamline and eliminate costs with the use of digital menus and automated booking and ordering.

REST.RUN could be the future of restaurant dining with its central booking, ordering, and paying system. According to the author of the application idea, Vadim Yashuvov, it is first being launched in trial restaurants in Moscow, then, if successful, will be launched on a much larger scale. Could you be dining in a restaurant with REST.RUN soon?
