The total cumulative number of persons seated through Tabelog's online reservation service exceeds 14 million! Online reservation is available at over 20,000 restaurants

Tabelog (http://tabelog.com), a restaurant search and user review site operated by Kakaku.com, Inc. (head office: Tokyo; representative director and president: Shonosuke Hata; TSE code: 2371), is pleased to announce that the total cumulative number of persons seated through Tabelog's online reservation service has exceeded 14 million on March 30, 2017.

Tabelog's online reservation service enables users to check for seat availability and make or change reservations via the Internet from smartphones, tablets, and other devices 24/7. Reservation notifications to a user's LINE account or awarding users with T-Points for each reserved seat are features, which contribute to Tabelog's continuing popularity and rising user numbers. The seasonally large number of farewell and welcoming parties in the spring led to a spike in online reservations, resulting in the cumulative number of seats reserved through Tabelog to exceed 14 million.

As online reservations are becoming increasingly popular for occasions like business dinners, dinner parties or dates, they have also become an important tool for restaurants to attract customers. Tabelog's growing user base with over 93 million monthly users, as well as support tools, such as the reservation management App Yoyaku Note, are receiving positive response from restaurants.

Tabelog will continue its efforts in addressing this growing need for online reservations, by improving the usability as well as expanding the coverage of its services.
