It’s pay-day Friday, and tomorrow it’s Valentine’s Day—the two days when you want to eat somewhere special, just like everyone else. The problem? There’s a good chance that restaurant you want to try is already fully booked! This is where a smartphone app like Eat Out Manila comes in handy. The  restaurant reservations service targeted to the Filipino mobile user recently launched anew with new partner restaurants, new promos, and new features that will make dining around the metro tonight, tomorrow, and pretty much any day, any time easy breezy. The iOS and Android app that offers quick and effortless booking service is also accessible via the website EatOutManila.com.

Eat Out Manila actually wishes to promote the value of making reservations in restaurants so you can have a better experience dining out, at least in Metro Manila. With the app or website, you can search restaurants by name, proximity, and price range. You can even see complete menus and prices for individual items. It’s your one-stop shop for browsing the necessary information you need about the dining establishment you wish to visit in particular or when just exploring options. (Hopefully, the resto you wish you try is one of their partner establishments.)

It’s definitely the most efficient way to book a table, rather than looking online for the restaurant’s contact info, calling them, and running the risk of either not getting through or errors on the part of the person taking your reservation (Misheard names, anyone? Goodness knows how many times I’ve been christened Kristine, Chrissy, Tracy, etc. when reserving on the phone)—or worse, arriving unannounced at the restaurant of your choice only to find it full. With this app on your smartphone, you can book a table with a few taps, a swipe, and an email confirmation. Just provide the date, time, and number of persons dining, and there’s instantly a record of your reservation. Then you’re seated right away when you get to the restaurant.

Eat Out Manila also features exclusive deals, freebies, discounts, and promos from the partner restaurants. Among their new restaurant partners are Olive Tree Kitchen and Bar, The Italian Market by Murray’s New Orleans, L’Opera Ristorante Italiano, 12 Monkeys, and more.

Make it easier on yourself and just book a table for dinner tonight or tomorrow or any day on www.EatOutManila.com or download the app from the iTunes and Google Play store and do it on your phone in less than a minute. If you can’t find the restaurant you’re looking for, here’s to hoping they’ll sign with Eat Out Manila soon.
