When a user taps on a restaurant in Apple Maps, real-time table availability becomes visible and the user can make an online reservation without leaving Apple Maps. The user can change the preferred time as well as increase the party size. When a user is logged into the Tabelog App, the user's name and phone number are automatically added to the reservation form, allowing for a seamless user experience.
