New! Online Bookings for Dutch Restaurants Now Possible


ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands, May 13 /PRNewswire/ --     Iens Independent Index (http://www.iens.nl) and Livebookings Network
(http://www.livebookings.net) have teamed up to offer diners the possibility
of making online bookings at Dutch restaurants.

Diners can go to Iens.nl to view restaurant evaluations written by other
diners of the restaurant. On the same page, with a simple click, a restaurant
booking can be made on the 24/7 real-time system of Livebookings Network.
Livebookings Network provides a reliable confirmation service and accurate
table occupancy information to prospective diners around the clock. An
instant electronic confirmation is then sent to the diner stating that the
reservation has been processed by the restaurant and that they are expected
on the date and time they have chosen.

Making an online restaurant reservation is a well adapted concept in
countries like the USA, UK, Scandinavia, Germany and other European
countries. For the Netherlands, however, it is still a rather novel concept.
People already book their hotels, airplane tickets, rental cars and concert
tickets online and now they have the opportunity to also book their favourite
restaurant online via Iens.nl.

Chris Persson, Livebookings Chief Business Developer Officer, says the
following about this newly created partnership: "Iens have managed to show
strong growth in both their online and offline brand. We are proud to have
been chosen as their partner and we are excited to be part of their further
growth in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe."
